During a Friday meeting in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance made it clear to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he is “gambling with World War III.”
Regarding Zelensky’s past, he portrayed the president of Ukraine for three years in a comedy series called “Servant of the People” (2015). In a shock win, he was eventually elected president of the country in 2019.
Zelensky swiftly dismissed the idea of a ceasefire and asserted that there must be “security guarantees,” provided by the West, before one could occur.
Trump was not happy with Zelensky’s choice of words — as it sounded similar to a threat.
“Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel, because you’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel,” Trump responded. “We’re going to ‘feel’ very good and very strong. You’re right now… not in a very good position.”
Soon after, Vance told Zelensky that he was being very “disrespectful” for coming “into the Oval Office” and “litigating in front of the American media.”
The 47th GOP president reiterated to Zelensky, “you’re not really in a good position right now.”
“You’re gambling with World War III,” Trump declared, looking at Zelensky. “You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people say they should.”
Trump went on to tell the Ukrainian president that his country is in big trouble and that Ukraine “is not winning this.”
“Have you said thank you, once, in this entire meeting?” Vance questioned. “You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who’s trying to save your country.”

Better put Rev Mommy on susicide watch!
I’m noticing an absence of Zeepers, ... probably due to a snowballing shortage of Arrogance in Zeeperdom.
Why does Trump always seem to be down on Zelensky and never says anything bad about Putin?
Because the government didn’t hand over $350 billion + of American people’s tax dollars to Putin.
He should wear a suit and tie
Prediction: Tomorow’s headline in the New York Times will be something like: “Trump Threatens World War III”.
Also, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc. will have similarly themed stories.
I believe my Tagline is still accurate. Hope I’m wrong.
He should have paid attention to the way Starmer handled Trump. Kissed ass, invited him for a state visit and avoided getting into stupid arguments on Canada/51st state and free speech in UK.
I had an old boss who used to say “If you can’t get the job done, I’m sure you successor will be able to”...
If we have WWIII it will because of British and French nukes backing up the Budapest Memorandum and Putin crossed a line with them. From what I saw, Vance had the job of the hatchet man, and when Zelinski tried to defend himself Trump got on him. Zelinski made the point that Putin has violated cease fires and agreements before. Trump wants a short term PR victory, but Putin will remain a problem if he stays in power. We didn’t let Hitler remain in power after WWII, and there is no reason to allow Putin a face saving way out of the war he started either.
Our old friend Vindman has come out with a statement saying that Trump and Vance acted like children and Zelensky is the best guy ever. Vindman, of course, is Ukrainian.
JD lit him up.
Sky Lolo could tear Zelensky apart, too.
None of this behavior is unexpected, coming from Eastern Europeans. Pipsqueaks with huge egos.
See there you have it. I’m a supporter of Ukraine but you are echoing the unrealistic approach taken by Zelensky.
You’re saying we can’t leave Putin (Hitler) in power.
Even at the height of the cold war, we didn’t overtly attempt to topple the Soviet government.
That’s certainly not going to be something we undertake on behalf of Ukraine.
“ I’m noticing an absence of Zeepers, ... probably due to a snowballing shortage of Arrogance in Zeeperdom.”
Or else the USAID funding dried up.
Ukraine is recruiting, I’m sure you would be welcome to join them at the front line.
Saw video of Zelenskyy calling Vance a “Bitch” in Russian..Zelenskyy is a turd, no more weapons from the US, no more money from the US, they can go beg Europe for help we are done
It figures that a ZEEPER such as yourself would take Zelensky’s side.
