In important meetings between world leaders, VPs are to be seen and not heard.
A real "Don" would say I spoil my children and they talk when they should listen. Vance made the Don look weak.
Another TDS afflicted looking a reason to sh!t on Trump. It was smart to let JD speak, as it lets the world know who they’re gonna be dealing with post Trump.
Is there any doubt that Vance is the front runner for 2028? It sure ain’t Newscvm.

first off, yes, exactly, and diplomatic stuff is usually scripted. and you don't meet unless it's all agreed. summits are for show. this reads like the show was to be a pro wrestling lead-in.
second, trump obviously planted the "here to sign something" stories and was not right about that. or ukraine would have signed the mines deal before it left.
third, ordering ukraine to leave is itself crappy protocol.
fourth, it's lame ivy league crap to frown on how someone from an invaded country shows up dressed, or whether they are in suit and tie. i chuckled at zelensky saying i'll put on the monkey suit when i have a peace to sign. paraphrasing. which is itself an implied critique of what he was really here to do.
related point, but even if you think it, it's undiplomatic to say it. but this administration is about symbolic flame wars rather than getting anything done. we seem very proud we got russia to the table via god knows what concessions when they are under sanctions.
fifth, i am glad he spoke up about the utter russian-propaganda gibberish trump has been throwing around about the war. i am sure ukraine is like, on what planet to do you live? they rolled tanks and troops across their borders. and it's grotesque how it becomes a quasi-soviet party line in this country.
last, people forget zelensky was on the other end of the failed Perfect Call and didn't do what trump wanted. trump may pretend he wasn't working with russia, but he didn't deny the phone call on That Other Impeachment. he tried to force zelensky to rip biden. he refused.
i don't think this is sincere foreign affairs. i think this is personal payback.
i think we're the wrong side of history on this right now and any Real Reaganite would know that. putin's probably worse than gorby, not better.
the idea that being so frightened of your big bully neighbor that you would like some friends, is somehow the victim's fault when they get punched for trying to make friends, is laughable.
These incursions took place during Biden and Obama’s terms in office. Trump is simply tasked with cleaning up their messes. They tried to nation build in Ukraine. Nation building fails more often than it works.
The International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine, or the Ukrainian Foreign Legion, is a military unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces composed of foreign volunteers. It was created on 27 February 2022 by the Ukrainian gover...
third, we both know one reason this war is happening is to ensure ukraine is not in NATO or EU. in that context formally sending troops in would be seen as precisely that aggression. russia threatened WW3 if we ever did it.
kind of like afghanistan got done through the jihadis and not actual troops. we are not looking for that war because that's when it might spread to other contact points, such as alaska, other eastern european countries, eurasia.
i mean wasn't your beef 5 seconds ago that Scary Joe was risking global war? can you not stay on a single script?
fourth, you neglect that ukrainian sovereignty aside, another reason to do this is to make russia expend troops and money, punish it for what it has done, take it down a peg internationally.
you're the make america great people, but i don't think you grasp how a country winds up or stays number one.
i mean, do you win a track race by conceding the big moves to the other runner? by letting them define the race?
to me this is retreat. just like afghanistan. once he signed that paper the man must have known there would be the messy equivalent of the Last Helo Out of Saigon, that we'd never get them all out.

JD's a hot head. He'll probably get gunned down on a causeway. The next Don will be a civilian.

sneaky. setting aside historical splits, ukraine was a separate SSR since like 1917 or so. ukraine was an independent country as of 1991 with the same borders as the SSR. you don't get to pretend there is No Real Ukraine and we tried to make one.
you need to go back to school on eastern europe. the game here is after WW1 and WW2 the soviets moved ethnic russians into SSRs to colonize. those colonial russians are now the excuse to cross the border. "you don't teach them in russian," etc. that they aren't treated like they are in russia, but rather expected to learn the local language and act like they are, say, in ukraine. this whole discussion should sound familiar to you on the mexican border, where you say the exact opposite.
which is kind of a goofy argument to be making when you're saying those people other side of that line are no different than us. then speaking ukrainian shouldn't be an issue then. it's no different, right?

Trump will be the frontrunner for 2028 ;)
Even after he completes his second term, he'll have made America so great that even the libs will be calling for him to take a 3rd
Trump is acting in the US interests, which is his job.
You think it’s in the USA’s best interests for Trump to be taking orders from Putin? Why would you think that?
You think that being duped by Putin is the same thing as “taking orders from Putin”? There’s a difference, man. And I have fairly little confidence that Trump genuinely believes he’s strongly acting in the interests of the US, but if so, it’s because of how incredibly short-sighted he is in most things.
It’s like what a guy posted on X (paraphrase): ”I don’t believe Trump is a Russian agent, but he can do more to advance Russian interests and diminish US interest at least as well as a Russian would.” (and no, the fact that some guy posted it does not lend authority; it’s that the point rings true, and I’m acknowledging that I’m not the one who came up with it).
F*ck you mean, "Alpha men?" Donald has been sucking Vlad off for years now. Vance is sucking Trump off at the same time. "Alpha men" would throw Putin around for thinking he can pick a fight with us. Instead Trump helps him.
I wonder who funded jd vance? I wonder who met with Epstein and 🇷🇺Vitaly Churkin before jeffrey was axed? I wonder who killed the media site that released Epstein’s black book using a personal vendetta and useful idiots? I wonder who runs the most invasive operation spying on US citizens?
