Here’s the current reality as described by the President of Finland this weekend. Finns know the Russians, know where Putin is determined to take this war and how the West must respond. They have first hand experience with the Kremlin and remember the hard lessons history has taught their nation:

Yup totally. And Zelenskyy asked Vance his thoughts on Putin’s repeated violations of previous diplomacy and cease fires to which Vance threw a tantrum about not saying thank you. Vance should’ve said something simple about how this time it’ll be different because we have a leader that will enforce security agreements. Even Trump during the meeting said he’s the toughest person in the world but that he doesn’t want for it to come to that.

During a remarkably combative Oval Office meeting on Friday, both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he was insufficiently thankful.
“You have to be thankful. You don’t have the cards,” Trump said, adding a bit later, “You gotta be more thankful.”
and
Here are 33 previous examples of Zelensky thanking or expressing gratitude toward the United States, its officials or its people for their support. This is not a comprehensive list. Notably, we did not review Zelensky’s many domestic remarks in Ukrainian.

I watch this guy's channel a good bit. Yes, his last comment is wicked.

It's refreshing to hear such clarity and organized thought from a leader. Biden was a corpse and Trump is a headline-chaser.

Mayor Pete could do it.Yes Romney could do it, as I’m sure Nikki Halley could as well.
Hilary Clinton though, I have my serious doubts. Her term as Sect’y of State is part of the reason the world is where it’s at right now.
Don’t know enough about the Mayor Pete chap to say ether way..

Some people say if you watch the tape carefully, Zelensky called Vance a bitch. Not in English, of course...

@jon-nyc said in The Ukraine war thread:
Having said that, there’s no reasonable definition of ‘bitch’ that Vance wouldn’t clear.
Well, strictly speaking he's not actually canine.

The swear expression сука блять (syka blyat’) is Russian not Ukrainian, and is commonly used in the contemporary lexicon of both languages. Ukrainians whose families originated in Western Ukraine (under Austria and Poland) then immigrated to North America before WWII, would not use it, as their swearing would be closer to the Polish kurwa mać example in the tweet.
In any case, the term syka blyat’ is vulgar expression of frustration or exasperation at something or what someone either did or said. Although it cannot be translated directly into English, it is Russian equivalent of saying Aw, for fuck sakes! or, noted in the Tweet, fucking hell!. In any case, it is not a vulgar epithet directed at an individual person like calling them “a bitter asshole* or a “goddamned prick”.
So it is bullshit to accuse Zelensky of calling Baby Face Vance a “fucking bitch” as some ignoramuses might maintain.
