”Encirclement, bullying, belittling.”

“Vance presents Zelens'kyi as a corrupt liar… The man who insisted that the Americans (and indeed he himself personally) were the real heroes, Donald Trump, told Jews last fall they would be held responsible if he lost the election -- among many other things.”
—Timothy Snyder, Antisemitism in the Oval Office

“If we consider for a moment the men who tried to humiliate him, …the picture only sharpens and clarifies. The man who asked him about his clothes, Brian Glenn, is a conspiracy-theorizing far-right journalist. … The man who demanded deference and spoke of "propaganda tours," JD Vance, had just returned from Germany, where he made a point of publicly supporting the German far right.”

”…my first, reflexive reactions was: these are non-Jews trying to intimidate a Jew. Three against one. A roomful against one. An antisemitic scene. And the more I listened to the words, the more that reaction was confirmed. … These things are complex, and personal. But not for the antisemite.”

#JDVance brazenly said it at the #MunichSecurityConference 2025 in good ol' #Nazi fashion: he accused the #European Allies of what they had started to do in the #US. Yes, #JD, the #EnemyFromWithin is, in fact, more dangerous than #China and #Russia: #MAGA, the reborn #AmericaFirst (#Nazi) Party 4).

@EUCommission "American Traitors, go fuck yourself!"

#MarcoRubio said that #Zelensky’s remarks to #JDVance were “making the argument that peace is not possible” because #Putin “can’t be trusted, & you’re just wasting your time on negotiations.” That is “undermining everything [#Trump] has told him he’s trying to do.”

Rubio, who has excoriated Putin for YEARS as a #WarCriminal, killer, monster, & clear aggressor in #Ukraine, said: “I’m not going to fall into this trap of who is bad & who’s evil. People can make those conclusions.”

During his interview on FauxNews, #Ukraine President #Zelensky said he didn’t know whether the confrontation w/ #Trump & #JDVance was a planned ambush, as some have suggested. “It was just a really tough situation,” he said.

Zelensky said it was “not good for both sides.” (A leader who can admit personal errors,what?)

So, #Ukraine President #Zelensky just appeared on #FauxNews after #Trump & #JDVance full-on attacked him in the Oval Office earlier today.

He started his interview w/ (formerly somewhat reasonable) #BretBaier by AGAIN thanking the American people for supporting Ukraine in its war w/ #Russia. “You helped us to survive,” he says.
