Tyson Barker in this interview spells it out.
Europe, Britain and our Commonwealth and Japan has to support Ukraine for the next 2 years.
2 more years and Putin is out of money, 2 more years and its US Mid Term elections
The glittering prize is UKRAINE in Europe. GAME ON
Zelensky was coked out of his mind
Why dont Europe just show the spine and go with Ukraine in this war, why beg for American backstop. Why so much grand talk and show but nothing on ground
Project Ukraine is over 😂
Zelensky should ignore Trump and stop talking to him further. Trump is taking advantage of the situation, and it's a disgrace.
Bloodthirsty EU can keep sucking Zelinsky but not at the expense of Trump dollars
Everybody lives in a free world even Ukrainians who are arrested on the streets and sent to the war front. Sensible European leaders should support a peace process than continuous war.
America bushwacked the deluded comedian ,
gave him the shakedown and
ridiculed his outfit ,
the art of the deal ,
brilliant 😂
If you want a just and lasting peace…HAVE PEACE TALKS…not doublespeak…a non-USA Euro-Army would last 2 weeks…15000 Western foreigners have died since 2022…3 whole Army Divisions…first let Europe publish names of all Westerners who have died in Ukraine including the 3 Generals…be open and in public like the Oval Office press conference not Biden style backroom kickback deal$..
Firefighting in full swing.
Trusting a mob boss for a security deal is a fools idea. World needs to find a new leader now.
And West has only one Strong Man in their team president of Türkiye 🇹🇷 Erdogan. Europe should work with Turks in this matter, Zelinsky is trusting the Turk’s more than any country he wants Turkish soldiers in Ukraine 🇺🇦 for peace keeping.
BAE $$$
Germany and its media allies can consistently be relied upon to advocate for the continuation of conflictin Ukraine, even as 1000s of casualties mount a week, all while also censuring Israel for its defense efforts within its own borders. 🎉😂
What is the EU exit strategy from the war ? Just continue to finance death and destruction and when soldiers soon will run short to enter Ukraine with European soldiers ?
"Free world, needs a new leader." What a joke. 😂😂😂
Jokers union hahaha
As an American I support Ukraine and am proud of the free world for standing up for President Zelenskyy and its brave citizens. I wish the US administration was still with you. Know that many US citizens are.
USA The land of the not so free and the home of the very, very strange. I could explain by saying politicians are all self serving even the one you like. Starmer will now twist and turn claiming Trump is correct and everything Starmer once said he did not say.
It was a “brawl” on the Trump and Vance side. Zelenskyy remained a gentleman, while being bullied. Sadly, our President 🇺🇸 is a thug. Vance is no better.
Well said, impetuous!! no giving in to bullying neither from Russia nor the US. Get the assets out, Ukraine has a weapon industry while fighting a war, investments is an excellent idea.
Europe. You are cutting off your revenue stream and protection. Good luck in the future. The EU has brought you to ruin.
I have said else where. This was a calculated set up. Vance gave it away by his onslaught to Zelenskyy. There is absolutely no way he would have done that without his dear master’s input. The bully who insulted Zelenskyy by asking why he wasn’t wearing a suit, is MTG’s boyfriend, this was all pre-planned. The irony, given how Musk dresses when he is in the ‘sacred’ Oval Office.
Zelinsky is not our hero!
The US has the most influential voice in NATO, this is dangerous. We need a new European alliance and distance ourselves from the US.
He's right the vice president of the United States doesn't just chime in
I've never seen a VP do that
The only people who were in a brawl were trump and vance. Zelensky was defending his war torn country. If there was any doubt about this administrations being a russian ally this proves it.
America Should be ASHAMED of your president,..

Every country should ignore the US for next 4 years… US is weak at the moment. Too scared of its own shadow. Elon finding out as Tesla shares plumit YTD.
One sided reporting, it ignores the years the Ukraine, EU and the US has been intimidating Russia to get NATO to it's border
