I think the rest of the world should get ready to fight the US.
They are absolutely deranged at this point and a threat to the rest of the world.
Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, what more do we need to cut all ties with it like we did with Russia?

Even /r/conservative (I couldn’t resist looking) is not cool with this. I’m not saying that Trump is suddenly done for, but this is clearly a major fracture and he needs to do something about it before people start feeling emboldened and challenge him.
Let me be clear: I hope he doesn’t do shit and doubles down.

Damn. That video is hard to watch. It's clear Zelensky is at a grave disadvantage because American English is not his first language.
It would be way easier for him to reason with these people and get his message out if he could just talk like a normal American.
He's not able to explain what's actually a very simple and clear concept: the US gave Ukraine security guarantees that it did not fulfill. Then he gets steamrolled by people who can speak English better than him and all he can do is sit back and watch.

I dislike authoritarian egomaniacs like Trump, Musk, Melei, Johnson, Orban, Putin and all of their supporters who are very aware of their wrongdoings.
I don't dislike the people suffering from those evil doers. I would gladly welcome the UK back to the EUl, celebrate freedom the the people of the USA and drunk Wodka with Russians as long as were all nice to one another.
It's not about nations but about people.

Did Trump inject the word ‘dictate’ in there so he could justify calling Zelenskyy a dictator?
asssuming too much smarts from trumpo.
This is just so painful to watch. Embarassing does not even begin to describe it.
This was absolutely insane. This is what happens when the empire no longer needs you.
Diplomacy by reality TV—Trump's Oval Office antics are reckless on the world stage.
😾😾
"you're wrong about what's going on in your own country. I done seen it on ma boob toob"
I hope Zelensky travelled all the way there to tell him to go and fuck himself to his face.
The bullshit exchange aside, I want all talks between world and country leaders to be televised in the open like this.
