Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
A good example as to why we should not have political leaders who know NOTHING about International and National policies lead a country.
👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏
@Pamela Hardy cute that you have to tell lies it’s adorable
@Freedom Life please you would dodge a drift like it was the repo man
@Pandamoniumm Vic @Mikel1618 did not say someone who is not from politics should not lead. They said someone who knows NOTHING about politics should not lead. There are plenty of people who are not in politics that understands the world’s political climate. Trump is not one of those people.
Sitting on a stage with trump brought out the same facial expression on everyone. No sane person ever thought they would end up there with a self serving wack-a-loon.
The moment when Zelensky realized, Trump REALLY was Putin’s puppet.
@M Hall as long as going straight to hell is where you want to go……be my guest.
@IamNothing,Nobody,Worthless yes. They are unfortunately under the delusion that they are victims and he is their savior. What they fail to realize is he is sucking their life’s blood from them so that he can believe that he has worth. They are all victims of the same self fulfilling lie………but he is robbing them blind with his “business” sense.
Better luck communicating with a brick wall than getting through Trump’s delusions of grandeur.
@Roger C I read it clown.
@Roger C peace.
Trump is out playing golf every day – Zelensky is in hiding and on TV ever day begging for help – hahahaha who is the fool?
Zelensky knew he was in the presence of a Putin ally and Trump had him over a barrel. He had to hold his tongue for the good of Ukraine.
@The Motion of Pictures what would he have had to lose by making a comment to trump? May I remind you that Trump’s first impeachment was due to him withholding aid from Ukraine ….
@Marie-Ruiz What he had to loose was the possibility of Trump winning re-election, Putin launching an invasion and Trump preventing US aid from Ukraine because his feeling were hurt.
@Marie-Ruiz Zelenskyy had no way of knowing whether or not Trump would remain President, and he was smart to weigh that in his head. Assuming he was, at the very least, Trump’s vindictive tendencies wouldn’t have screwed Ukraine more than the aid withdrawal going forward. It was a smart decision, though his distaste was apparent.
One could see Pres. VZ’s eyes and expression was horrified at the silly and ignorant advice of the man in front of him. BTW, it’s still a mystery why this man is still free and still planning to be president again. Where is Justice or is it only for people like you and me. For people like trump, putin, etc. Really and truly, if not here, you’ll surely have it beyond.
@keith2092 do you mean trump you can’t spell
Trump’s words are pretty much the same I got at school as a kid after being bullied. I left that school.
@Oh Dear Earthlings awww hims tuff now 🤣🤣
So your bully said to you it work be good if things worked out and everyone got along. I wish the school I went to had your bullys
yeah you left that school and now compete in womens sports!
@Francois Leveille I’m pretty sure John smithe was talking about you dawg
Trump as ever thinking he is the smartest person in the room … What a plonker !!!
@Franklin Ukraine is about to come online actually. It will be a new NATO member, along with Finland and Sweden. Billions of dollars flowing in. Tons of good jobs. Lots of investment.
Russia, on the other hand, is a pariah.
@M Hall you don’t count
Joy Simpson, l haven’t heard that saying in so many year’s. I met a young Lady visiting Australia from England who used to say it.
Well look whos the plonker now cuz he was right
Zelensky’s face was the epitome of disbelief and distaste. And Trump was being the epitome of a passive-aggressive bully with that “…and I know you”re trying to do that.”
@jeffrrryyy that’s cute that you think that 😂
mr.bean
Not being funny, but Zelensky looked so young back than and it was only two years ago. His presidency has been hard on him, obviously.
@Carol Pulis that is absolutely correct! Agree with you. 😉
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
3 years, not 2 – but yeah he looks way older now.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Unless you’re playing golf all the time of course…
Anyone with any intelligence/decency has the same facial expression when dealing with a toxic bully dumbbell.
@Gary M They didn’t have to surrender, they chose not to. Perfectly acceptable, but you get the conflict after. Which is worse and still have to surrender what you lose. So? What exactly did Ukraine get, besides being destroyed and losing 10,000s of people? It ends 1 of 2 ways, one side destroying the other completely, or a negotiation to end the conflict.
Zelensky’s expression 😆 tells me that he’s thinking that Trump is real stupid…a big bozo…lols😂
@Vlad why guilt? he refused to play the game, that’s the whole point. in the call with Trump too. Guy has been doing the right thing since before most ppl outside Ukr-Rus were paying attention. Simply comparing him to actual recent Ukrainian corrupts makes this clear. Troll harder?
No he was afraid of Biden 😂
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
Anyone that doesn’t think rump is a Russian asset is simply delusional.
@John Smithe WoW, a sheep that can type
@jim perkins Russia doesn’t have a Supreme Court
He’s just casually telling him to give up independence.
No he wasn’t, he was asking for diplomacy as early as possible because it could have stopped the war, which never would have come close to happening under trump as he was a deterrent and played Putin perfectly, not to risk an invasion or world war 3.
Seeing Zelenskyy before the war and now is so scary, the poor guy. Hope he stays strong!
@Ec Brown go away kid
@Guy North he is a coward and a total embarrassment
@anonymous why would you upload videos from a russian perspective unless you just love seeing images of dead civilians and one war crime after another.
Zelensky would shake his head in disbelief if he could..
He actually does a micro-shake of his head 😁
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
Trump’s ignorance in general and lack of lack of understanding of international affairs are harmful. Zelensky’s expression is priceless and says it all, utter shock and disbelief.
@Roger C Unfortunately this is true…
@M Hall was wondering when the non sequiturs would pop up to interrupt this thread.
@B Budkin It’s not unfortunate at all. It showed the strength of Trump and what an excellent leader he is.
Maybe Trump was just asking him to start implementing the Minsk 2 agreement. Just a thought.
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
I am confused. Would someone please explain how there would even be a possibility of a peace with a nation that breaks its pacts regularly? How would something like that even be enforceable with a country that continues to carve out chunks of its neighbors?
You and me both. But hell, Trump clearly thought that it was better to betray an independent democratic country. And Trump probably vetoed Ukraine joining NATO too.
& Continually Lies ! ! To EVERYONE ! !
Not only did Zelensky’s face telegraph disbelief, but it was as if he knew the enormous burden he would have to bear in just a few years. His days as a comedian ended with that humiliating sit-down with Carrot Caligula. But he rose to the challenge like no other head-of-state in human history and he continues to win respect and admiration around the world.
@Nra,Morris G <--poor little sad and broke troll whose ruble-based retirement is gone. Maybe you can retire in Irkutsk, comrade.
Zelenskyy 😭 UA UA UA
Baby crying.
How can you respect a devil such as Zelensky?
Toe-curling having to watch and listen Trump talking to Zelensky like that.
He sure as hell didn’t talk to the tyrants and despots that way.
Seeing this clip, I’m thinking trump was speaking for Putin. And threatening to withhold military aid was also a means of pressuring Zelensky into cooperating with Putin too!
