Strong, supportive comments for Zelenskyy from democrats here. These need boosting:

Senator Schiff: ““A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.”
Senator Murphy: “What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene.”
Senator Gallego: “This is a disgrace.”
Senator Van Hollen: “beyond disgraceful”.
Senator Durbin: “The people of Ukraine and President Zelenskyy deserve an apology.” “Trump and Vance berating Zelenskyy – putting on a show of lies and misinformation that would make Putin blush – is an embarrassment for America and a betrayal of our allies,” Durbin said. “They’re popping champagne in the Kremlin.”
Senator Schumer: Trump and Vance “are doing Putin’s dirty work
Sheldon Whitehouse: Trump and Vance of “acting like ventriloquist dummies for Putin”

Cancel you Amazon Prime membership, stop buying from Amazon, don’t buy a Tesla, stop using “free” Gmail/Google, Facebook and other services that harm society with their profits and sell you out by selling your data.

The it needs to be published worldwide including in Ukraine.

@petergleick I’m trying to stay away from conspiracy theories, but it is in the interest of the Kremlin and the current US government to have another president at the helm of Ukraine. So the atmosphere of the meeting was set to have Zelensky to swallow the bait with hook and sinker. And he did unfortunately. Next call will be for replacing Zelensky because he’s no longer acceptable as negotiating partner. In line with the playbook of the Kremlin.

@maxd @petergleick The US will call for replacing him, completely aligned with the wishes of the Kremlin. I hope they fail and that Zelensky stays on with support of the EU leadership.

@hvdzwaag @petergleick they may, but what does that really achieve? I think we shouldn't give them more credit than they deserve, they're not some grand chess masters as they want to be seen. FWIW it exposes them as direct russian assets, so people who doubted that will now see the reality

@maxd @petergleick I’m afraid the US tactic is to make his position as president impossible by signaling to the people of Ukraine that Zelensky is in the way of a peaceful solution. The immediate withdrawal of US aid in restoring the energy system is just a first step. The people of Ukraine will suffer more and longer and the US will blame this on their current president. So it’s up to the public support and resilience of the people how this ends.

@hvdzwaag @petergleick as a Ukrainian, I can say this signalling has expectedly failed, they're achieving an opposite effect, and they have no idea how to talk to Ukrainians. This only makes Zelenskyy more popular among Ukrainians who were tired of him. Everyone realises that now is not the time for infighting, and everyone knows that russia needs to GTFO first of all, since that's the real problem and the real cause.

@maxd @hvdzwaag @petergleick as an American I kind of think Zelenskyy knew it would go this way. He already knew what Trump was, Trump’s first impeachment was due to him pulling similar shakedown shit with Zelenskyy. And it seemed batshit that he was even considering signing over half of Ukraine’s mineral rights. It does seem to have clarified things for many EU leaders. If so, well done.

@maxd @hvdzwaag @petergleick
Ukrainians are not that foolish to fall for this kind of pressure they have been dealing with for as long as they have endured.

In my head, Zelenskyy played along to tentatively agree on the extortionate minerals deal, which was a shock to lots of us who knew this was a bad plan.

Then he went to the Oval Office, knowing full well how 47 would act in public and out of camera, to confirm via live television, that this new US regime is 100% under the influence of Putin.
By showing the world the insanity of the situation, he and Ukraine could reject the deal wholeheartedly. And gain massive PR support from it.

In a way, he successfully exposed the American regime for what it is, more than the other Western leaders could have.

Yes, the Americans will try to get rid of Zelenskyy, by order from their Russian master. So now he will be targeted by Russia AND the US. And not only through political pressure…

Some more talk and no action. You can count on the same Democrats using almost the same words of outrage every time. Over and over again, meanwhile, the trump cult is eating up Democracy like a swarm of termites.

They should have known this was coming way back when trump was pushing the Obama birther conspiracy and a sizable portion of the citizenry was believing him.

The bully has no fear of any Democrats. He knows they are weak as pissants.
