It’s become routine since Russia invaded Ukraine: President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speak by phone whenever the U.S. announces a new package of military assistance for Kyiv.

But a phone call between the two leaders in June played out differently from previous ones, according to four people familiar with the call. Biden had barely finished telling Zelenskyy he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine when Zelenskyy started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting. Biden lost his temper, the people familiar with the call said. The American people were being quite generous, and his administration and the U.S. military were working hard to help Ukraine, he said, raising his voice, and Zelenskyy could show a little more gratitude.

Biden lost it because it delayed his diaper change and his ice cream cone for being a “good boy”

A lot of Eastern Europeans border on obnoxious even on their best days.

You can be assertive without being an assh0le.

That Zelensky is an assh0le and he’s a slimy grifter. You may admire somebody who behaves in the egregious manner he did as a guest at the White House, but most of us here do not.

You’re on a conservative forum siding with an ill-mannered, greedy little twerp over our American President and Vice President because they refused to give in to that jerk’s demands? Because somebody finally told the mincing little grifter “NO?”

Whatever floats your boat. But I think you’d be happier on another forum.

Ill mannered, greedy little twerps are a very important group among conservative statesmen. Henry Kissinger for one, and Milton Friedman.

I’m not getting dragged into one of your mindless Ukie-loops.

But Rocco said it all rather succinctly here. No need for me to make the extra effort trying to explain it to you. I have neither the time nor the crayons to do so.

"I don’t think you are making much of an effort to try on other mens shoes."

That's because I'm not a f*cking man! Your perspective has nothing to do with keeping this country safe, independent, and out of war. In other words, your perspective sucks.

I’m not buying Biden’s tough guy act. He wouldn’t act this way to the Z Man.

This is historical revisionism.
