So when JD asked him why he refused to sigh, what was he to say in the pubic oval office meeting?
He had already told them why...
Zelenskyy now says he will sign the deal...
- Thread starter Damocles
- Start date
He had already told them why...

Do you think it's appropriate for the sitting US president (sort of) to throw a temper tantrum on global live television to scold a war president and ally about "gratitude" for aid that that same president had absolutely no role whatsoever in providing to the ally after that same war president has spent years saying thank you? Trump is a fat toddler and a galactic embarrassment to the US. He should have gotten his ass beaten when he was younger so that he could understand gratitude himself -- along with humility, decency, and how to form a sentence in English.
The funny part is that Putin did not call him smart. It was a mistranslation.
Putin called trump "bright", as in interesting and catching attention. It was mistranslated to be "bright" as smart. It should have been translated as "colorful."
Thanks! I didn’t know that.
I do not. Hence my discomfort. Did you bother reading the OP?

Yes. Did you? Nothing changed.
Barack Obama sent Susan Rice, Alexander Vindman, and Anthony Blinken over to Ukraine to conduct his foreign policy and thwart this deal,
Could it be that Obama wants the rare earth minerals going to someone else?
Bullshit. Russia and the US have long been more allies than enemies. The brief interlude of the Leftist Communist government notwithstanding. The US and Russia have never fought a war. Russia and the US have everything to gain from a solid trade situation, and friendly relations. It was only with the period of radical Leftist dictatorship under Communist rule that Russia and the US were at odds. Even then, the two didn't have a war.
You seem to think the Cold War and a Communist dictatorship in Russia are still going on. That is utter stupidity. It's the kind of idiocy that got us into the Korea and Vietnam wars.
The world order is changing. The US and China are now the two superpowers on the planet. Russia is a second fiddle. The second-tier powers will align to one or the other superpower. The US should be doing everything they can to get those second-tier powers on their side. China certainly is trying to do exactly that.
That isn't a Trump thing, that's a reality whoever is president. Biden was just his typical moron self on foreign policy and fucked things up just like he did his whole political career when it comes to foreign policy.

5 Early Unforced Joe Biden Foreign Policy Errors
President Joe Biden was scheduled to deliver his first major speech on foreign policy today. Instead, it was postponed “due to inclement weather.” Apparently, the two inches of snow that fell on the capital this weekend made travel too risky.www.heritage.org

'A stunner': Foreign policy once again roils Biden’s standing

Everybody...EVERYBODY... says Biden was a foreign policy disaster. That's not new, it's been Biden's MO since he first took office. Obama was an amateur and even he was better.
The US gains from a strong relationship on positive grounds with Russia. It gets little to nothing backing Ukraine. Putin is nothing special, and is in most ways just the same sort of dictator Zelensky is. There's really nothing to choose between the two other than Zelensky runs a country that doesn't offer much of anything to anyone.
To cut to the chase, the democrats serve China. This deal would hurt the efforts of China to corner the market on rare earth minerals. So Obama has his troops out making sure the deal is scuttled.
But you won't hear the board Stalinists invoking the Logan Act.

Exactly. Once again, this thread and the OP are utter shit.

Of course!!!
How could I have forgotten who Kaizen D. Asiedu is????
Explain to us again please, why we should take anything this self promoting, publicity seeking scam artist has to say seriously....
Besides, he uppity and don't know his place...
At some point it was decided the way to get rid of him was to put him before cameras and confront him for his nonexistent ingratitude, perhaps arranging ahead of time for a right wing "journalist" to mock him for his clothes to help unnerve him going in. If not that, what was it?
@Nomad is going to be a racist scumbag and meltdown if a black man expresses opinions in opposition to the party...
If there were no stupid people, you wouldn't exist, Damsel.
Yep, I misread and thought your were claiming Germany did not.
They claim Z started it, and decided to air his grievances during the public meeting... I did not see that.
Its all they got, so I guess they feel they have to claim it.
Furthermore the left didnt say a damn thing when obama capitulated
Nope. Dont be silly
What grievances?
During the Iraq War, some Neo-Cons defended preemptively attacking Iraq, by claiming we preemptively attacked Germany. They would make claims that "Germany did not declare war on the USA, the USA declared war on Germany."
After Pearl Harbor, FDR had a problem. FDR had promised Churchill that in an event of war with Germany and Japan, the USA would go after Germany first. The problem was technically, there was a war with only Japan. Conveniently, Germany declared war on the USA three days after Pearl Harbor. Even more conveniently, almost immediately Germany attacked our shipping, not just in the middle of the Atlantic, but along our coasts. Americans from the beach could watch German submarines sink American ships.
Why did Hitler do this? No one knows for sure, but it appears who thought that if he declared war on the USA, Japan would declare war on the USSR. Japan did not do this. Hitler, like trump, liked to make deals in his head, and then was shocked when others refused to follow the deals they had never heard of.
