Just a typical, sleepy, Saturday in August for the leaders of the free world.
Except FFOTUS was kowtowing to his puppet master in Alaska.
By Monday, they, and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, President of the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, showed up on FFOTUS's doorstep.
They were not invited. They showed up with the guest of honor, Ukrainian President Zelensky. Checkmate; he couldn't turn them away.
He thought he could demand Ukrainian capitulation to the Russian Empire with impunity. Turns out there are grownups in the world who have no interest in giving Putin a stolen foothold in Europe, and they showed up both to support President Zelensky and to protect their own countries' defensibility.
The official photo says it all.

Totally depends on where you get your news. If it's MS-whatever else it'll be called and CNN, you hear what you wrote. If you hear both sides, you will also hear that when flying back from Alaska, Trump said he was calling those European leaders and they were invited. To add to it, he called Putin after the meeting to tell him what was done as he said he had promised he would do.
ReplyDeleteThat's what he said. I believe nothing that comes from the White House.

You can't believe a word Trump says. I am going with the regular media reports on this.

From the news that I read, Trump invited Zelensky who in turn invited the other heads of state and they all said yes, we are there to support you. There was, however, no red carpet and no gushing like with Putin. There was, however, from the photos I've seen, a great deal of disdain for the guy who sits in the White House.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't meet them at the door, either.

I'm with you on who or what to believe. That's not trump or his minions.
ReplyDeleteYup. The man wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face.

Make no mistake, the European leaders were there in support of President Zelensky. Trump's dementia and fawning to Putin has been on full display for months, he will do whatever Putin tells him to do. If one wants to know what those leaders think of Trump, just watch their body language & faces, their feelings are abundantly clear.
ReplyDeleteThe US is so isolated from all that's good in the world. So glad the European leaders were there supporting Zelensky. So sad were in the wrong side.
