God, I hope that's more than just rhetoric. Let the shock of the US's unforgivable betrayal lead to serious action from Europe.

If the UK and Europe all rally behind Ukraine as a massive fuck you to Trump, it would be absolutely magnificent.

Trump is an absolute embarrassment. How he treated Zelensky was beyond shameful.

I haven't even been able to watch the video of them honestly, it's a major source of depression as an American.

It's just a draft dodger and a couch fucker sitting there bullying the shit out of a person who has spent the last 2 odd years leading his country though a violent invasion.

If EU plus UK follow through with their rhetoric, there will be no need for an exclusionary bilateral deal between the US and Russia.

Imagine the UK getting access to a bunch of minerals that the US could have had, except Trump is the shittiest of negotiators. All he had to do was shut up, Ukraine was ready to make a deal.
