Apparently Zelenski was warned beforehand to concentrate on the Agreement and not to get sidetracked into anything else, but he couldn't resist knocking back Vance when he suggested diplomacy was the only way forward. It went downhill from there and the sight of the Ukrainian ambassador sat with her head in her hands told you all you needed to know,
Was the Ukrainian ambassador head in her hand as she witness the disrespect that Trump and Vance had shown her president, or maybe it was as you suggested she was disappointed with Zelenski, we will nver know.Quote:

It appears that Trump wants to obtain mining rights in several countries so as to curry favour with his billionaire backers who will operate those mining companies. Trump is like a spoilt child if he does not get his own way he tend to throw a wobbler.
It was reported earlier that when he was knocked back on taking control of Greenland, the day after the Danish Prime Minister received an abusive telephone call from Trump. Or is it the case he considers himself as being the only person in the world who is always in the right, which is shown in his arrogance.
He is a first class knob jockey. End of.
End of Ukraine, unless the comedian/dictator comes to his senses. It's quite simple really, the USA does not need Ukraine but Ukraine needs the USA.Quote:

I can’t see Starmer and Bonnie King Charlie doing that. Somewhat incredulously I see Starmer giving an envelope to Trump with a written invitation to hit London for another State visit. The lunatic asylum just got bigger.Quote:

No wonder Two Tier told the comedian to get his arse back to Washington and cuddle up nicely to the Donald.Quote:

I know there's a lot of sea around Australia but you'd think they'd know about Chinese warships, it seems not.
"When are we going into lockdown for Ukraine then? It’s a question everyone reasonable is asking themselves, since measures must be taken to Flatten the Crimea. Remember to take your Russian World Conquest Vaccine. It’s 100% Safe and Effective."
"At 8pm every night we will banging our pots and pans to signal that we value and respect Our Ukraine. Remember to check Government websites for a full list of banned Russian foods, books, ideas and facial expressions. Maintain social distance from anything you suspect may be Russian. You do not need to think for yourselves. Be assured that the BBC, reputable newspapers and the Government are your only sources of truth. We will keep you informed of what to think. Until further notice, please continue to think that IT IS 1939 AGAIN and that PUTIN IS A MONSTER WHO MUST BE STOPPED. These two opinions should be sufficient for you to support any amount of spending and any amount of risk. But remember to get Booster opinions from approved media at regular intervals. We have employed 100,000 people to set up Emergency Russian Vaccine stations in car parks across the country. If you feel any of the following symptoms please report to your nearest station immediately:1. Thinking for yourself.2. Accessing Non Approved News Sources.3. Caring more about your own country than Our Ukraine.4. Not worshipping Zelenskky (the New Churchill).5. Knowing that it isn’t 1939.6. Suspecting that the Government and supporters of Our Ukraine are ****ing retards. Also keep an eye out for these dangerous symptoms in your friends, neighbours, co workers and family members. Social distancing rules apply, but it’s also important to ring our Russian Spy Detected Hotline and inform us of suspicious independent thinking. We can beat this imaginary threat that doesn’t actually affect you at all, except by our insane actions in response to it! Britain’s forces are mobilising as we speak. All of our Diversity Coordinators have adjusted their paperwork to exclude Russian sympathisers and Russian speakers from up to date diversify frameworks. Our intelligence services are seizing copies of Tolstoy from public libraries. And our entire force of 367 trained, competent and experienced fighting disabled lesbians are ready to face the Russian War Machine. We will save Ukraine from Russian aggression and Putin’s madness, and fight to the very last Ukrainian. But we need your unwavering support too. Banging your kettle tonight makes all the difference. Changing your profile picture puts a significant dent in Russia’s military and manpower advantage over Ukraine. Taking your Russia Vaccine inoculates you from reality. Let the dictator Putin know that you Stand With Our Ukraine."
I mentioned elsewhere the lunatic asylum is getting bigger and it is.
It's certainly a topsy-turvy world mon ami, a right-wing US president is trying to bring an end to a war, Lefties in the USA and Europe are doing their best to keep it going. No wonder defence stocks are surging, the military/industrial complex must think it's their birthday and Christmas all rolled into one.Quote:
