Trump behavior today with Pres Zulensky was shameful. We have lost our standing with Europe and global allies. We are now an ally of Putin.

I fear more that just shameful. We are watching the dimming of the shining light on a hill. Trump and Vance are killing the very soul of our nation.
I new agreed 100% with all American foreign policies but I believed In what American stood and wished her well for being that bright shinning light in the world Now I 100% disagree with with American foreign policy and no longer wish her well How can I?
Sad where Krasnov has taken this country so quickly…. And shame on anyone who voted for him… disgraceful…
Respectfully, General, other than posting on social media, what are you and other retired flag officers and commanders like you actively doing to stop this nonsense and defend the Constitution right now? Do you need an engraved invitation? Your country is waiting.
Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense.
Again, with respect, I disagree. My point, however clumsily or flippantly it may have been made, is that there are precious few with the leadership experience and that you and those like you possess, and furthermore, the military remains one of the few institutions in this country (1 of 2)
that holds the respect and trust of the public at large. What I am asking is why are you (and again, those like you) not seeking public office with the intent of restoring sanity, dignity, and leadership to government at a time when it is critically needed? My sincere apology for any offense.
Thank you for commenting. It’s painful and your words mean a lot
I've always been a proud American. I proudly serve my country in the Marines. I proudly served my country working for the DOD. I don't feel so proud right now.
Can we have an edit button?
America isn’t the problem now, just Trumpism. Thank you for your service. Good will prevail in the end. 💪👍
Sent to Cornyn and Roy, my horrible representative. Never Cruz, who’s a waste of a senate seat.
A long way from the Reagan era hey? I’m looking forward to the next Bond film. New baddies. bsky.app/profile/mart...
I’m an Australian and have believed for some time that we need to put some distance between ourselves and this administration Some might call it a sad day when a traditional ally is forced to think that way but I think it’s simply reality
And as this unfolds we have 3 chinese warships and a submarine off the coast of south Australia coincidence I think not flexing their power . What would trump want from us
China has not been to war for more than 50 years Just another boogeyman created by a country that is constantly at war
So coincidence hmm ok your entitled to your opinion
We Canadians have been working on that for 5.5 weeks now, and to some extent for the last 4 months.
Good call - he contaminates everything!
All sub-questions lead up to one very big one: Will the US Military stand by the Oath to the Constitution if the Putin-pushed wish for US exit NATO (Musk's latest comment), and Trump accelerated such domestic crisis that he calls for Martial Law and shelves the Constitution? No longer hypothetical?

“WE” are not.
Zelensky's safety is in peril right now while he is still in the US
Does MAGA think that makes Trump and Vance look tough? Putin went through Russia, Russia, Russia but tell the American people that Zelensky went through a war of weapons. I am so upset.
He’s an embarrassment‼️
Indeed you are General. It’s becoming more evident by the day.
America is no longer the leader of the world. That's dead. We're GONE. Thanks to Trump we're now nothing but a Simpering Vassal pandering to the whims of a small Evil leader of a degraded Third World country, Russia, currently having it's ASS thoroughly BEATEN by an even SMALLER country, Ukraine
Well "we" are not. When are WE going to do something about it?
Will this silly foreign policy we are embarked upon drive smaller nations to develop Nuclear weapons programs? I would guess it is cheaper to invest in an anti missile system and a nuclear delivery system than in a large standing army.
You are not an ally of Putin, your country was conquered by the Russians. Your are not on equal footing with the Russians. They direct events from now on. The US has fallen.
😞
Thanks for posting
It was always going to go like this. The Felon, the hillbilly and Putin planned it this way.
My country, the US, is worthless to the free world. Europe must eject the US from NATO and immediately admit Ukraine to the EU and NATO. Then send troops to defeat Russia and Russia's ally, the US.
Dear General, we are not an ally of Putin. Trump and his spineless Republican Party are allies of Putin. In the United States, power is derived from we the people. And the majority of the people don't support Putin.
It really doesn't matter. The US voted in Trump and overwhelmingly handed him the Senate. Those in charge are allies of Putin, and the rest of the world has learned that they can not count on the fickle American people. We've lost our standing in the world, and I fear it's permanent.
Hillary called it 10 years ago, "Putin's puppet."
an ally of Putin and a disgrace.
ballotpedia.org/Laws_governi... Recall all republicans!!!!
Watching this unfold today was physically painful. A profoundly disgraceful spectacle on Vance and Trump’s part. A day that will live in infamy. Zelensky’s restraint remains impressive. I pray we come back from this dark place someday.
Tough to sleep last night for sure.
I was very impressed with President Zelenskyy's restraint. He must have such deep sadness from all the atrocities he has witnessed in his country, with no end in sight. It is absolutely obscene that our administration treated him so abominably.
I almost couldn't bear to watch, and Vance's repeated demand for thanks—despite Velensky's often-voiced gratitude—was Trump Theatre of Evil Absurdity. The shrill insistence was meant to humiliate, and the idea that a man with the integrity and honor of Velensky should be so demeaned is outrageous.
It was totally staged to humiliate. He’s expressed gratitude this whole time to his allies. I wish Biden would pop up to remind the world of Z’s expressions of gratitude to Americans.
And Zelensky a man so courageous! ?Vance watched videos of the war???! He should have been horrified by the utter destruction we've seen since the beginning. Senseless destruction of everything. It hurts to see. Where is his humanity?!?!?
Not most of us. Orangey and VD are but not me.
The new AXIS=russia,usa,iran,nc& any satellites 📡 oops 👀 what you’ve done Bebe a little over 46,000 people have died and countless wounded in Gaza about 1/2 were women and children, so…villain 🦹♂️ and war criminal. The US 1st 100 days portrays a president and cabinet wasted on something? Steroids 🧐
We have joined the Axis of Evil
What’s truly stupid is 47 thinks he’s a Russian ally while Putin knows 47 is dismantling US power. Russia Russia Russia Collision folks.
If only Trump were merely an appeaser.
Now that disgraceful meltdown from trump makes sense. We all know what Putin does to those who displease him.
It is time the world’s democratic leaders step up and use the intel we all know they have to destroy trump and his fascist regime!
Sadly true and made painfully obvious.
I think we lost that standing a couple of days if not weeks ago! but yes - today was a booster (wanted to say 'shot' - but that is not happing in the US anymore anyway)
For me it started when Trump claimed that John McCain wasn’t a hero. That said all I needed to know about the man.
I agree i am awaiting the courts to place some guardrails of this evil regime if not i can support a military coup and i know this is radical
You are exactly right- so america get off your asses and remove this vile government
How on earth could anyone sign on to the US military given that they may end up fighting for Putin? I miss the days when we were the good guys.
🇨🇦🇲🇽 are not to crazy about you at the moment.
I’m embarrassed to be an American under this regime. We will be isolated in the world so when the next terrorist attack occurs on US soil, we’ll be alone—-and deservedly so. This performance by FOTUS & JD was reprehensible.
The so called president is an ally of putin, but as an US citizen, I'm not.
For all of the MAGA talk of him being a “real leader,” Trump came face to face with an actual real leader for the first time in his unfathomably charmed life. While Trump is selling out Americans each and every day, Zelenskyy is refusing to do the same to his fellow Ukrainians.
I'm so proud of Zelensky. Those 2 creeps thought they had him by the short hairs to make him beg & enrich themselves. It had to be so tough for him 1. Not to deck them both 2. Not to buckle under & do anything his majesty demands to get the money, like Trump expects from all of his transactions!
Agreed 💯
We sure have.🙄😡
🥵
Drumpf, Elon, and MAGA are literally destroying America. At what point do you call it an attack by domestic enemies, as stated in the oath "...against all enemies, foreign and domestic?"
Not just an ally but Putin's bitch.
how soon will trump start selling weapons to russia, or sharing intel?
You guys should seriously think about a military coup. Hard to believe I said this.
We’ll probably see a complete withdrawal of troops from Europe in 30-60 days to appease Putin. Out of NATO as well. Shameful doesn’t begin to describe this clown show.
The meeting was a set-up. Trump allowed Vance, to start things up with a stunning insult to Zelenskyy. He sternly lectured this statesman! Then Trump cut in and things got heated. In the end, Trump was incoherent, blaming Zelinskyy for Obama, Biden, Hillary Clinton and eating dogs and cats.
Because we insist on a cease fire? Fuck that ungrateful little midget.
I was close to tears earlier. I've never been so genuinely ashamed of my country as I am today. If God judges nations and Lincoln said during the Civil War, then we have much to fear.
Just an utter disgrace.
Appalling
Don’t use the word “we”. That makes it sound like all Americans are in agreement.
Who is surprised by this? Why is this not anticipated? Did anyone entertain the idea that this hasn’t been choreographed/scripted in every aspect. One pleads, understand fully what we have here. Vengeance never appears in a cloak of diplomacy.
Canada really needs to start rethinking its place in NORAD. We cannot continue to collaborate with such a traitorous regime.
Think Trump, as usual, hooked up with the wrong guy. Russia is about to collapse, just like everything else T has been involved with.
I am worried that he will deploy our troops next to fight for Russia.
Noooooooooooooooo!!
💯 as was ALWAYS the plan. You can’t say Trump didn’t tell us before in his words and deeds.
i will not stand idly by. no way. i took an oath to the constitution to defend against enemies foreign and domestic. we have both. in the white house.
May well be the lowest point in US diplomatic history. Shameful indeed!
Guess what? W/Trump we were always an ally of Putin's. And Trump always told us this. Trump 1.0 used to say, I talked w/him, he's a great guy -paraphrasing.
Sir. What can we do?
Sir, do you think he’s a Russian asset?
They needed an adult in the room. There were none.
Clarify: We the People are not an ally of Putin. Republicans and the D.T.Cartel,Inc. Mob are bought and paid for puppets of Putin. The current Administration does NOT REPRESENT the overwhelming majority of U.S. People
Yes you are (from an ex friend: Canada🇨🇦)
What happens if Trump decides to side more actively with Putin? Military aid, intelligence sharing, etc.? Will the American military and security services comply?
Intelligence sharing is done.
We all must outlast the bastard

Gish galloping is offensive to qatch
Trump is an enemy of America. It’s the only explanation go his behavior and policies. Will Republicans, the prevailing power in Congress, stand up to his betrayal of American values, security, and economic interests?
“We” are not🫤…Trump, Vance, and the MAGA GOP politicians and voters are allies of Putin. Shame on all of them. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 I stand with Ukraine and Europe. To hell with those assholes in the Oval Office today.
This was a setup from the getgo. All to prove Trump and Vance were Putin's lapdogs. This may well have been the most disgraceful moment in the history of the once-great USA.
Appalling. I would like to grovel to apologize to Zelensky for the disgusting behavior of our so-called leader.
True
We have been Moscow's ally since January 20th. Trump is gradually allowing us to see this and what it means. NATO can't do anything without US participation, so it's already as good as dead.
Most of us refuse to be an ally of Putin. It’s just a handful of ignorant rich assholes who are momentarily —but disgracefully— in charge.
NOT ME, I will never be Putin ally
I woke up happy, feeling the Spring equinox and hoping to enjoy it but have dropped into a depressive funk just watching that shit show. We need to do something before we lose our SS, insurance, bank accounts and self respect.
It's absolutely disgrace and shame on US. Oligarchic clownade America became toxic and raised anger in all normal countries. Boycott will only deepen from now on.
Did Trump and Vance do this on purpose? I wonder what their strategy was going in. Thoughts?
''Keep swimming, frog! Doing great!'' urges the scorpion.
You Guys should get Out in the streets and start protesting this shitshow.. silence is Compliance! Just a Post in social Media is not enough anymore by a far Stretch.
