Summary

Protests erupted across the U.S. in response to Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Oval Office bullying of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Demonstrators gathered in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, waving Ukrainian flags and demanding continued U.S. support for Ukraine.

In Vermont, protesters disrupted Vance’s ski trip, criticizing his stance. Many labeled the White House meeting an “ambush” and condemned Trump’s ultimatum to Ukraine.

The protests reflected growing public frustration over the administration’s shifting stance on the Russia-Ukraine war.

    Trump’s ‘America First’ now looks more like ‘America Alone’—a gift to Moscow.

      Well they are not alone, as you said they got Russia.

    Wonder why one war was more important than the other in 2024…

      I don’t know why enabling netanyahu’s genocide was a greater priority for the biden administration than Ukraine ever was. Or indeed, anything else for the entirety of his term.

        Wow, still harping on Biden. I guess the rubles are still flowing, eh comrade?

          I mean they still have a point.

          Claiming Israel doing it is fine while helping Ukraine was a really wild thing to do.

          Though I still don’t understand why anyone thought Trump would do anything to stop Israel either.

            Helping Israel is messed up, but there’s probably only a handful of politicians who tried to stop it. Before Trump, it seemed like everyone supported Ukraine. It’s such a drastic change in the political climate that blaming Biden for everything Israel is a gross oversimplification and shifting of the blame that rightfully belongs on most of our government.

          I can’t wait for them to come for you.

          I know. Centrists will rejoice in the suffering of everyone to their left until it’s them.

          Hope you’re still alive to get some licks on by the time I get to the gulags.

          And you entertain fantasies about violence against people to your left. Wonder what it would be like if you ever thought about punching right.

      Ask yourself who the fuck started the war… And on whose land is Russian military on?

      I don’t support war. I support Russia getting the fuck out of Ukraine. And if that requires force, then I support it. Russia can leave immediately if they want.

      Yes, the support for Putins war is definitely a very bizarre thing.

      Not supporting war, supporting winning - as opposed to losing. Support for war is irrelevant once the invasion begins.

      The US can’t stop the war. Ukraine can’t even stop the war. The Ukrainian government could just give up, but then the occupation begins, and that’s the hard part. The people of Ukraine aren’t going to just roll over and play nice while Russia dismantles their society. They will fight back, and it will be bloodier for both sides than the clash of armies was.

      Anyways, that’s way more of an answer than your dumb ass comment deserves.

        I’ve got this dude tagged as a russian apologist. So I’ve seen him say russian talking points all over lemmy. Not even worth responding to his dumb comments.

          I decided to just cut to the chase after skimming the comment history, the user is tagged as “Russian Asset” in my voyager app.

          Regardless of if they are getting paid or not, they are a russian asset based on their actions

              Tankie is to liberals what woke is to Republicans. A name to call everything you don’t agree with. That’s why we call you BlueMAGA

      I know. They all are great poets defending concepts, but so few soldiers fighting for actual people.
