Was this planned?The deal was so one sided with outrageous demands that there was no way Ukraine could agree to it. Give us your wealth, and we'll give you nothing, and let Putin rearm for another go. Who would agree to that?
But was it designed to fail so that the US can withdraw all support and end sanctions on Russia? Quite possibly. The US has betrayed Ukraine, other allies, and is now damn near siding with Russia.
If anyone still considers the US to be an ally of the UK I'd like to hear how that works.

Some numpty has flagged you not realising you're mimicing the MAGA/Russian talking points.Well hopefully this ends all equivocation even amongst the most alty righty of our community about who and what this man is and what he represents. It's nothing to do with your politics. He's evil.Very naiive of you. The pretexts for continued support write themselves:
Trump's language may have been a bit harsh, but Zelensky is an unelected leader sending consripts to die in a war which, to be fair, we in the West partly caused, and I don't want my children to die in WW3 either do you, and it's just common sense that you agree to a deal if you go to the White House, Zelensky shouldn't have gone if he was not prepared to do so, and Trump, though rude, is trying to get things to return to peace so ultimately he is in the right.
And so on.

There’s no chance the state visit gets cancelled. To dis-invite Trump now would lead to a major fallout .But not to is to acquiesce to a bully
We have to stand by Zelensky and decency - not Trump

If only the democrats hadn’t anointed an incompetent clown who flopped badly in the primaries when Biden won as a candidate to stand against Trump. We may not be in this mess.This isn't Kamala's fault.

It’s a long time since I went on a demonstration, but I will be a Dumfries House if Trump’s visit continues.Yesterday not looking quite such a good day for Starmer.Starmer can only correct this by withdrawing the invite
He has just invited for a second state visit to the UK a US President who has just engaged in a shouting match with Zelensky for not grovelling to him enough for a deal while trying to defend his country from Putin

The King cannot welcome Trump now
Can anyone imagine the demonstrations
Just not acceptable and a case could be made for the invite being offered far too soon anyway

...It's the fault of those who voted Trump. They have agency and chose the monster.If only the democrats hadn’t anointed an incompetent clown who flopped badly in the primaries when Biden won as a candidate to stand against Trump. We may not be in this mess.This isn't Kamala's fault.
Watching their faces being eaten by leopards is scant consolation.

Sky report on Zelensky and Trump discussion not going well apparently !!!Vance accuses Zelensky of being "disrespectful".
Trump - Zelensky gambling with World War 3
Trump to Zelensky - you ether do a deal or we are out
And this is the main thing with Trump - any issue boils down to not showing him sufficient respect, which is abject grovelling most of the time (hence creatures like Vance trying to enforce servility even from a Head of State who, though needing to be subservient given his position, still deserves respect in turn).
It is my experience that people who cry about being disrespected the most are usually the ones showing the least respect to others. Same thing with a lot of the time with civility.

Why did we not offer Zelensky any tips on how to handle Trump?He was ambushed. I think he did brilliantly in the circumstances - there are thousands of young men in muddy trenches listening to this and a Chamberlain won't do.

Trump has narcissistic personality disorder.
Vance is just a c**t.

HmmmDisgusting. It might as well just say 'Zelensky did not kiss my ass enough, so he can suffer until he does'.
Depressing thing is, since Trump holds most of the cards, it may eventually work.
The eliding of the USA with himself about 'disrespect' is ridiculously obvious, he makes a virtue of responding emotionally to matters which, by his own arguments, should be more calculating.
Poor Zelensky. Poor Ukraine.
