Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He really humiliated the United States - Lemmy.World

Summary Trump and Zelenskyy’s confrontational Oval Office meeting advanced “mob boss foreign policy” serving Russian interests. Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyy when he refused their “extortionate” minerals deal or to thank them despite Trump’s stated intent to reduce support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy effectively countered their claims by noting Russia’s 2014 invasion and correcting historical inaccuracies, which angered the Americans. This “darkest day” in US foreign policy history humiliated America, not Zelenskyy, and represents the first “openly anti-US, anti-Western, anti-democracy foreign policy in American history.” Russians loved what they saw, with Putin ally and former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev celebrated the exchange.
