Russia is not our enemy. Greetings from Australia.

The reporter who asked Zelenskyy about his clothes was Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. The whole thing was a scripted ambush. "It made great TV".

Instead of arming Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education etc.

he cut the strings on a puppet, then assaulted the puppet.
fans admired the "strong man" tactics.

Just so you know it, You guys are really important

[roslyntchakedjian]

Thank you Gentlemen excellent as always. 🙏🏻🇦🇺

remember Zelenskyy said "Don't play stupid" to Trump

[kilepesic]

It didn't start at that point. Jesús Enrique Rosas analyzed the whole meeting, over 50 minutes of it. And what he clearly showed was that Zelensky agitated the whole meeting, from the start. And that video showed that Trump and JD were holding back for about 40 minutes of it, until it finally exploded with the JD Vance comments and Zelensky's reaction.
Ironically, this is similar analogy to Ukraine vs Russia war, where "The War" started in 2022, where we pretend that nothing was going on since 2014.

Very interesting.. Denis Kireev, Ukrainan negotiator died 5 March 2022, was scheduled to participate in the next round of peace talks in Belarus on March 3 but was arrested before hand and died. Souce Wiki

Hahaha, Zelensky. was like ”C’mon dad, it was somebody else that wrecked the car. I want a new car now!!” 😂😂😂

[karenfromNH]

Stay on this Max. It is so disgusting.

[jasonuren]

Nope. Elensky wanted the cameras. Ever the showman. But Trump is a better showman.

The pied piper of hamlin is an interesting story. Be careful following the music, when it stops you may find yourself someplace you dont recognize.

[sandyrickard]

Zelensky even called JD Vance a "bitch" in Russian under his breath, picked up by mic. He is petulant spoilt. After he was kicked out of the WH he flew off to Ursula at the EU and was given a cuddle and reassurance 😢
The guy needs to go

[moonraccoon]

you guys could put a date of when this was recoded.. unless it was today?

I've never watched entire 50'smins more times, repeatedly. you never get to see behind the curtains. the body language throughout is really telling. Trump reads Time magazine. Zels interview in it is, more or less, word for word his script in the oval office. 'no-one loves us. no-one has ever helped us, abandoned by allies, we are victims, here's some pictures of soldiers''' later in the piece an aid said zel was delusional. Trump would have read that. Zels a NPC. sadly the msm only shows the public that 7 mins, who owns that? I'm in Uk the king Maker owns /rules us.
