    Sky News are showing the full exchange - it's horrible to watch (and all the reporters look shocked).

    It's disgusting. I hope our taoiseach realises what he's walking into on St Patrick's day

    I’m done with the US, absolute thundering c*nts



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭Will_I_Amnt


    This is absolutely amazing!

    Absolute chaos!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,402 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    I've never seen an international leader being attacked like this in front of the cameras before - it's absolutely unheard of.

    Hopefully this is enough to convince Europe to step up support for Ukraine. I wonder how non-MAGA republicans feel about their Russian-supporting president. They've been very quiet on here since Trump was elected. They may also not be looking forward to the reaping of what they've sown.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,402 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Yep, a disgusting thing to do to President Zelensky. They're a shower of b****rds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,054 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    It did make for good TV viewing as Trump said, but that was not good diplomacy from Trump and Vance. Macron and Starmer kissed Trump's behind on their visits to the White House this week. Zelensky is right not to do the same.

    Well that’s grim.


    A country being invaded being told it’s all their fault for fighting back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,402 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    US has gone totally rogue. Can you imagine Trump and Vance screaming abuse at Putin like this?

    Physically sick watching that. Vile, evil, cowardly, wretched human being. You'd hope someone in the EU finally finds some courage and tells Zelenskyy to walk away and we'll back him.

    The world order as we knew it is over. US and USSR Russia now on the same side. We have to decide if we want to be a vassal state to these or find our place on the world stage. If the EU is to survive, it can no longer pander to this nonsense. I'd take some pain to fund an independent EU army and form meaningful alliances with like minded states worldwide.

    Zelensky stands up to autocrats and it drives them nuts. They can't accept not being cowed and pandered to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,174 ✭✭✭omega man


    Europe needs to tool up now with no hesitation. Diplomacy with (kissing ass) Trump is no longer an option. So sad to see this unfold like that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,332 ✭✭✭fly_agaric


    They're between a rock and a hard place I think. Martin must wish it wasn't happening.

    I just hope if Trump or Vance either give him abuse or tell lies in a public appearance with him, the Taoiseach has enough erm…"minerals" to speak up and correct the record as Macron and Starmer did.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,222 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    utterly shocking stuff…….

    They set Zelensky up for the ambush there…. All for their TV ratings and the MAGA cult.


    Make no mistake about it. The U.S. is now a hostile state.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,710 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Zelensky needs to walk, Trump is clueless, obviously on Putins side

    Every single reply directly calls Trump out on his BS.

    Yeah it's tough it has to come to this, but it's utterly absurd that visiting leaders have to play this bizarre "kiss the ring" circus in the White House just because Trump is in power.

    Ukrainian ambassador to the US in the meeting while this was ongoing. She must have felt pure sickness happening while Trump and JD were talking to Zelensky. I want Europe to tell the US to f off and tell them we can manage our own back yard we can sort this out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,131 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    Vance is a little weasel who could only dream of having Zelenskys bravery and resilience.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,785 ✭✭✭✭josip


    I've messaged my Fianna Fáil TD to tell him I don't want MM to visit Trump on March 17th.

    Won't make any difference I know, but neither will posting here.

    Vance is a cheaper, nastier and more sinister version of Trump. He started this and probably planned it.
    Maybe it’s better everyone now knows where everyone stands in this war. Lines are drawn in the sand.

    CNN reporter stating that she got a text from a senator who was in earlier meeting on capital hill with Ukrainian President and that he done everything wrong. In terms of his strategy to appeal and appease Donald Trump.

    Well it's gone down even worse then I think most could have imagined.

    I imagine there’ll be a lot of emergency calls across Europe over the nexts hours and days. Public responses will be interesting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭EltonJohn69


    Vance was chosen to be there by Trumps backers. They have an agenda and Vance was executing it. When Bolton said Trumps brain is Mush, I think he might be correct. Lashing out like that suggests old age has gotten the better of Trump. What an insidious administration. What a vile bully Trump is.
    Vance patted Trump on the shoulder at the end of the meeting, as if it went exactly as planned.

    Maybe it's time that us in Ireland and across Europe were not a defined country nationality. Maybe we should scrap all that and just be Europeans and we all look after Europe and Europeans in it. Militarily as well.
