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.
unelected? stop parroting putin myths.
The paragraph was an example of what people will say to justify supporting Trump's actions, which will include many Putin myths.

Just to state the obvious - your post was very clear. Those abusing for it need to learn to read all the words.

David Frum: No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Forget the arguments against it, seize the frozen Russian assets and use the money for Ukraine and our defence now.

I'm surprised that anybody's remotely surprised to discover that Trump is a nasty, unpleasant, rude bully.

All I've learnt today is that Vance is at least as bad, and possibly even more dangerous, being marginally more intelligent.

I think some former presidents have to speak out. Starting with Bush.

I am reminded of when Hitler summoned the Czech President Hacha to Berlin, After keeping him waiting for hours Hacha was bullied by Hitler and Goring and offered 2 choices: hand over half your country or the German Army will come and take all of it. Hacha chose the first option but we know what happened next. But Trump is not playing for his own country but for Russia.

What we've learned in the last 48 hours is that Andrew Tate is welcome in the US but Zelensky is not.

Sums up the utter **** in the White House.

Instead of frothing about state visits - the previous one took three years to organise it seems - how about we deal with practicalities.

Time to get rid of triple lock pensions and reduce/reform/replace pension credits and various other welfarism.

And spend the money on military and industrial security.

Putin and the Kremlin must be toasting Trump to the rafters

Putin: And you're sure we've not got anything on him?
FSB: I've told you a thousand times, boss, not a thing! He just genuinely likes you.

Where do we go from here? Someone needs to stand up to Trump, surely?
But who?

Has to be a collective European response. And that means the UK aligning closer to Europe to be honest.

I’d always felt closer toward the USA - not any more
