As of February 28, 2025, Trump’s second term is 39 days old. Reports confirm he has already hosted several leaders at the White House:
  • February 4, 2025: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first foreign leader of this term.
  • February 7, 2025: Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
  • February 11, 2025: Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
  • February 13, 2025: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
macron and kier in the past couple days too.
 
America can give Ukraine weapons they use on Russians and Putin is still cool with us and is just like "those HIMARS were pretty bad ass tho" but then Zelensky walks in the room and the floor creeks and Putins like "you sneaky fucking jew i am going to murder your entire family in front of you" and the Trump throws some shade "he's fat and didn't even wear a suit too".

Frankly I'm glad of it.
 
It is such a fucking joke. Absolutely regardless of where you stand politically, having a country's leader show up to a meeting, that he knows is both important for the future of his country and is going to be televised, in anything other than a bog-standard suit is nothing short of disrespectful and you are a fucking retard for trying to pull that stunt.

Does Zelensky believe he'll lose support inland if people don't see him as a "hip, young Slav" if he doesn't don a track suit 24/7 or is this just his ego? Either way, it's a fucking embarrassment.
 
IMO Russia took enough of a beating in the war that they aren’t a threat to the us anymore. The only reason they’re still a threat to Europe is because Europe is retarded. We shouldn’t waste money on people who won’t defend themselves.
Russia is unbeatable on Russian territory. The current problem is that the part of Ukraine in dispute was historically Russian territory
 
It's even more than that. The world got to see President Trump and Vice-President Vance taking no shit from an uppity supplicant. President Trump was right, Zelenskyy has no fist in his glove when dealing in the Oval Office. Got a glimpse of a future President Vance, liked what I saw.
I just can't get over how the democrat party is now for: Ultra elite rich (except musk), pro-war, even to the point of suggesting a nuclear first strike, and pro-big gov all at the same time. It used to be 'I'll die for your right to say what you want'. Now it's all censorship all the time.

Trump legit fucked up IMO on this Epstein thing, but the dems come back and prove how retarded they are every time.

Who are they trying to appeal to now? It seems just redditors and DU fringe now. They're trying to be IRL reddit jannies.
 
I read somewhere that the process of choosing a new pope is stacked in favour of it being another liberal pope who will continue pushing left-wing causes.
The whole Roman Catholic Church was captured by Western geopolitical interests during the Cold War. It was already a geopolitical actor skinwalking as a religion since it split off from the East in the second millennium, but it's been totally hollowed out since Vatican II. The last three popes all prayed in Mosques on film—something that would automatically excommunicate you at any other time in Catholic history.

Thinking that the Catholics were ever going to become "trad" again was the original Qanon—just remember Fatima, pray your rosary, and wait two more weeks.

"He" who?

John Paul II?

Benedict XVI?

Papa Frank?

Is there an "annulment" equivalent for public, televised apostasy? Is that what I'm missing?

I gotta agree with @The Ugly One , I don't think these guys are gonna help with the world's lady problems.

As much as democrats pretend to be anti-war still. They've been cheering for bombings since Obama. It was bad under bush. Good under Obama. When trump bombed Syria they called it "presidential" and seethed when he didn't want to create conflict.

I'm going to brutally honest, I find the obsessing over the outfit shit gay.

Is it dumb and larpy to go to diplomatic talks with fatigues on? Yes.
Is it the end of the world and the crux of the reason shits fucked? No.

He went to sign a peace deal that could have ended bloodshed and got into an argument like a tard fucking over his country.
Idk why people are so fucking obsessed over his clothes.
 
Zelensky just said Vance is VP and this meeting was between him and Trump. Unbelievable. He just said Vance should have sat there and shut up.
That was my instant take from watching the footage. Zelenskyyyy thinks he outranks Vance and shouldn't let a lowly functionary speak to him like that. He doesn't understand that the DC Dogcatcher has higher status than the most prominent Ukrainian.

Zelenskyy is used to dealing with the US from a place of power, because he had dirt on Biden and his cronies. He doesn't know how to be humble, or understand why he should. Go ahead and dish out the dirt on Hunter Biden, Fauci, the Big Guy, or even active American politicians like Lindsay Graham. Trump is not afraid of Zelenskyy making his enemies look bad. Those people whom Zelenskyy still has dirt on may resort to desperate means to get him to stfu though. I'm pretty sure his own countrymen aren't happy with him either.

Countdown to someone sneaking polonium in Zelenskyy's morning tea to make it look like the Russians did it.

he's basically a shoe-in for president. people don't realize how many boomers refused to vote trump because of his rhetoric and his many skeletons, Vance is like a perfect mix. He's enough of a politician for the Romney types to be a-ok with, while also being enough of a badass to call out "allies" like Zelinsky. add in voter ID and he'll get at least 320 electoral votes if not back to 400 come 2032 re-election
Zelenskyy is 1984 the book, while the Trump admin is 1984 the album
Zelenskyyyy thinks he outranks Vance and shouldn't let a lowly functionary speak to him like that.
does he not realize Vance is basically the heir to the throne? if anything now is the best time to get him on your side,
