For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

[RobDownSouth]

Interesting question raised by a top White House official: How did the entire world get to see the exchange in the Oval Office without the Associated Press there?

Did you hear what the "Real America's Voice' reporter who replaced the AP pool guy asked President Zelenskyy?

After one of the tensest three way exchanges (Zelenskyy, Trump, Vance) in recent history, "reporter" Brian Glenn asked President Zelenskyy "Why are you not wearing a suit?"

You really have to watch the exchange. The level of disrespect towards a foreign leader is extraordinary.

Zelensky replied "Maybe i wear costume when war is over. Maybe better costume than yours...'
This passes for 'Journalism" in the Golden Age of America.

Glenn is notorious for his lack of judgement. He had an affair with then-married Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and now lives in sin with her.

Trump ended the meeting with a cackle '....this will make for some GOOD TV!"

Vance said "you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition "

WTF is that about? Zelensky went to Pennsylvania because the current President of the country was there.

This entire exchange is pathetic....this administration is a fucking joke

Well, we sit here in Europe and wonder where politeness, decency and understanding disappeared.
I know that the ordinary American hasn't experienced war and all that follows for the people, government and President. But to say the things they did during this press conference infront of the whole world is just plain stupid. If they are after likes on facebook they missed the target with miles!
And if they were after the driver seat and want people to show respect to them, they missed even more.....

A dead giveaway of someone who values corruption.

The only people I've ever heard utter those words are con men, gangsters, or fans of con men and gangsters.

The reporter wasted his chance to ask a more substantive question and Zelinski’s choice to show up at the Oval Office dressed like he was making a pitch to VCs in Silicon Valley demonstrated his cluelessness about statecraft.

It wouldn’t have mattered if he’d succeeded in making a deal though. But he didn’t. What matters next is up to Europe.

Yes, our ally who has been actively under attack by our adversary, should be scrutinized for his attire.

In retrospect, Zelenskyy was set up. Trump and Vance needed a reason to distance themselves from Ukraine and flip American MAGA opinion more firmly in favor of Russia. Up next; Exiting NATO.

BabyBoomer50s is the core supporter of Trump who values his style over substance, so in this instance he's on-brand, his pathetic attempt at 'both-sides-ism' notwithstanding.

He didn’t leave with nothing because of his attire. He got nothing because he had very little leverage in the negotiations. This was the most important negotiation of his life. Dressing appropriately would have been an easy but meaningful gesture of respect and situational awareness.

I just witnessed quite possibly the most embarrassing exchange between a U.S. President, a VP, and a foreign leader (Zelensky).

Any American with an I.Q. of higher than potato and a grade-school education will blush at this garbage. Video forthcoming...

Absolutely 100% agree. Trump and Vance fucked this up big time and have between them made any agreement signed with the US pretty much worthless. That was totally juvenile from the two of them. Fuck them both. Sideways. Good on Zelensky for not rolling over.

Now it's up to Europe, and I hope to fuck they step up.

Denmark Signs Deal with Nammo to Produce Shells​

Denmark has signed a contract with the Norwegian-Finnish defense company Nammo for shell production. The Hartpunkt newspaper reported that the shells will be produced at a plant in Northern Jutland. The Danish Ministry of Defense has announced that it will buy back the former Ammunitionsarsenalet ammunition plant, locally known as Krudten (Powder Plant) in Northern Jutland. Denmark sold the 17th-century AMA plant in 2008 for €2.41 million to Spanish ammunition manufacturer Expal. The plant continued to produce weapons and provide services to the country’s Ministry of Defense as one of its main customers. This lasted until 2020, when, after several years of losses, EXPAL decided to shut down the facility and liquidate it entirely.

Denmark bought the plant back in 2023. A tendering process for a company to set up manufactiuring and prouce ammo ran thru 2024 and this has now been signed with NAMMO. It will probably take two years to establish ammo production from scratch, meaning this is no fast fix.

Trump ended the meeting with a cackle '....this will make for some GOOD TV!"

Well at least ONE conservative writer is aghast at Trump's "GOOD TV" remark.

Also, TNR editor Rich Lowry dialed up the snark against Trump's revisionist horseshit vis-a-vis Ukraine last week

 

[ChloeTzang]

LOL I really came here this morning to post this and got diverted. Harri makes a really good point. Ukraine is vastly out-innovating the US, and anyone else right now, on crucial drone technology and how to integrate this into the military. They have expanded from ad-hic drone teams to platoons, companies, battalions, and are now creating Drone Brigades integrated and working with the front-line combat units.

The U.S. is stuck in outdated thinking while Ukraine has built one of the most advanced and experienced armies in the world. A $300 drone can take out a $10 million M1 Abrams tank. And they’ve done this under war, under constant bombardment and incessant Russian offensives. Meanwhile, the U.S. spends $800 billion just maintaining its aging military structure—designed for the wars of the last century.

Losing US support will be painful, but it will not make a difference to Ukraine's survival now - they have had a 3 year window to gear up. There are obviously still many major issues to address and fix, but they will get there.

Tempers running hot. The Ukrainian ambassador covering her face with her hands is quite a sight.

Not as much of a sight as Trump and Vance....but you think this a good look for the us....( your country doesn't deserve capital letters anymore).

It's not, at all, a good sight to drive our ally, whose country is currently being bombed to tears.

The fake news was that there was credible evidence that Trump was conspiring with Russia. We now know it was a complete fabrication, sponsored by the Clinton campaign and peddled by corporate media.

This little TV show kind of points to a bit of conspiracy eh? Why else was Trump defending Russia?

Exactly - straight off the jerry springer show

 

[Fuzzy1975]

I just know Trump wanted to say "you're fired!".

 

[RobDownSouth]

You have no clue. The war is lost and has been for some time. You should probably learn how to communicate as well.

Just because you gave up in Vietnam doesn't mean Ukraine is giving up in 2025.
You've been predicting the imminent collapse of Ukraine on a near-daily basis for over two years now.
Yet Ukraine soldiers on.
You might want to reconsider your life choices.
