Did you see how those two punks were talking to Zelensky? That's the
style you expect in a back alley in a bad neighbourhood. That's not
how leaders of countries talk to each other. It was extremely
embarrassing. You'd agree if Fox News wasn't your only news source.

No telling what has been said over the years in those
meetings that were closed to cameras.  There could have
been many screaming matches but when they appear in front
of the cameras they're all smiles and good comradeship.

Some of that discussion should have been behind closed doors. It was
shameful they way that Trump and the crackhead's offspring chastised
Zelensky in camera.  It would not be unacceptable for Zelensky to offer
access to essential minerals in exchange for assistance but it was not
appropriate for Trump to make it so obvious that future aid was
dependent on handing over access to Ukraine's minerals. The behaviour of
Trump and Vance was childish and embarrassing.

Zelensky has been dangling that carrot for over a year.
