This article seems to imply that it was Zelenskyy, NOT Trump and Vance, who really were the unreasonable ones here. The sheer arrogance in saying 'You should thank us more!' ... Zelenskyy was right, the US has an entire ocean between them and this conflict, so they are being extremely cavalier about the threat Russia presents.

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

The article is barely more that a tweet it’s so short. Gross that they say ‘falls short of saying he will apologize’ for what exactly? For wasting time to meet with tRump? Ick.
Also, tRump md crew aren’t worried about Russia because they are in bed with Russia, nothing to do with the ocean
playing devils advocate here, obviously we all know Trump is a brain dead removed monkey throwing shit all over the place
It's very easy to call Trump that, I could go up there and call Trump a delusional lying asshole who is betraying all his allies and making a mockery out of the west etcetc
But for a pro, you have to be able to handle these diplomatic situations to the point where the things go in your favour even if you're clearly dealing with an irrational nutter
I think that he regrets that he wasn't able to word things in a way that helped Ukraine and made Trump happy at the same time
That said I do not envy him one bit, fuck dealing with Trump for anything
Trump Co punked Zelensky. At least he knows not to waste his time with them again.
