[stellacollector]

After hearing that gaffe, Zelensky looks like his soul has left his body.

[powerralley]

Embarrassing not only for him, but all of us Americans as well.

[Tekzoned]

Well that was embarrassing.. and the clapping

[florinivan]

Zelenski be like:I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[margelatu]

The saddest part is the clapping of those idiots after he said it. NATO is a clown show!

[kayskreed]

Maybe it wasn't a gaffe, maybe it was foreshadowing. A Freudian slip. The worst thing is that the audience clapped without hesitation. 😅

[Riclmnopp]

It’s over. I’m almost certain he will drop out soon.

[luisovalle]

Dr Jill is proud Joe didn’t poop during the press conference

[jaymelee]

Nato takeaways:
1. Zelenski is putin.
2. Kamala Harris is trump
3. Biden is old
4. Nato is crap

[Belisarius-Flavius]

Zelensky : Give me some billions, and I'll be your Putin

[jumpyluweegee]

I do not feel safe having this man as president.

[manjunathmnm]

Zelensky : "Give me some billions, I'll be glad to be your Putin" ! 😂

[Coral-reef.]
