Zelenskyy/Trump press conference...

Oh, I see, it's the old I can do whataboutisms and you can't play. Biden was an idiot who embarrassed our country while other Democrats covered up his dementia while saying he was sharp as ever, they finally woke up to it after his embarrassing display at the debate.

Zalensky is a pos Nazi who begs us for money to keep fighting a war he can't possibly win while he pads his bank account so his wife can go on luxurious shopping sprees. At least Trump is trying to end this war unlike Biden and the Democrats.
Any bets on CORRUPT Filthy Don getting a meet with the QUEEN now ?
 
Not trying for a "win", just another way to think about the stats. Feel free to explain, otherwise you didn't say anything of relevance.
Ok I appreciate that.

'Also, don't have the stats, but guessing if the aid numbers were presented as a percentage of each country's defense budget we'd be even further down on the list.'

That would be because our budget on military exceeds by 2x the average European country per GDP.

You can cone this list down by selecting North America and Europe if you wish.
 
Sorry but anyone calling for another to kill themselves is actually the real POS.

Mods? Its time to put this stuff to a stop. This sort of online bullying isnt acceptable.
Imagine a 65 year old like yourself going around saying “I’m getting online bullied. They’re bullying me online!” God damn I hope all far right hacks like yourself aren’t this much of a pussy.

Again this is about Biden. Look at the topic dipshit.

Zelenskyy/Trump press conference . . . .​

So you started the whataboutism by bringing up Biden when he isn't involved at all. This is your only argument.

Now this gets fun, and I think you are showing your true Russian colors. How exactly is Zelensky a Nazi? I still think they can win the war but they can't be handcuffed on what they can or can't do and they need more resources. Claiming he is padding his bank account is real rich, how much did the Saudi's give members of the Trump family to invest again?? Trump is ending shit. He is sucking up to Putin and giving him everything. How the hell do you expect that negotiation to go. Putin you are the aggressor you caused everything, but we will let you have all the lands, we will give you a reprieve to build up your weapons, we will drop all sanctions and try to rebuild your economy and F you to Zelensky. That is what played out yesterday. So if you want to be a Russian stooge, which you probably are (paid or otherwise) . . . then just continue to babble.

^^^^This is an excellent comment.
It appears it's the world leaders vs MAGA in regards to the reaction to what occurred Friday.

Radical Right media has worked overtime to justify what happened.
Did you listen to the interview? Did you know France and Britain restrict internet source not touting the govt line?

I think Ukraine should tell the Orange Asshole to take a flying leap. Make a deal with the Euros even Canada. Stick it in the Orange creep's arse. Billions or maybe trillions worth of earth minerals. Dangle it in the fat bastard's eyes and keep it out of reach.
That's what a lot of persons would like to do just to say F you to Trump. BUT, look what it will do to US chip manufactures that need the materials for defensive products of our military. Truely sad situation.

Yes, and that was sort of my point. No "correct" way to think about the numbers, but shows that while the US prioritizes it's military as a % of GDP more than other nations, they apparently prioritize the safety of Ukraine from invading Russia less in comparison. Just adding perspective to blanket comments you'll see like "US is fronting the war in Ukraine for Europe". Size/scale is important to consider.

What US companies are going to invest in Russia if he eases sanctions on them or starts trying to spin a rare earth deal with Russia? How does China feel having an ally stab their monopoly in the back if it gathers steam, even as a talking point?
 
We just had a clown who couldn't read a teleprompter, shook hands with ghosts, couldn't find his way offstage, wandered off during photo shoots with other world leaders.

Who constantly fell asleep while reading his note cards while meeting with people in the White Hous, and you say Trump is embarrassing, your hypocrisy is astonishing.
Bonespurs is a complete embarassment for the USA. Every world leader but love buddies Putin and KJU laugh at him. His own party mocks him. Twice impeached, I won the election lie, gonna build a wall lie, Mexico will pay for it lie, I'll end the Ukraine war in 24 hours lie, food prices are going to drop day 1 lie, he used porno prostitutes for $260,000 keep quiet money and lied about it, multiple affairs while Mercedez...er, I mean Melania was PG, thought the US used airplanes in the Revolutionary War, called our brave dead service members in Europe "losers and suckers ", found by a court of law to be an admitted and confirmed sexual abuser, 34 X convicted felon, in debt up to $750,000,000 for his sexual abuse and felony conviction, I could go on and on how much he has embarassed himself and the US. But you already know all of this. So sad.
 
Just seemed to be such an odd question.

Unrelated.

Next time the WH attempts an ambush, maybe try and be less obvious.
Were you ever really surprised at Trump's Apprentice boardroom scenes where Gary Busey's fate was on the line being billed as can't miss reality TV and it disappointed. Trump ran for President because NBC wasn't offering what he thought they should and he wanted his name out there so they would up his offer.

Wonder where those military components are made and who benefits from keeping the manufacturing and sales flowing. Oh right, we do.

Trump isn't even playing checkers, he's playing Candyland

I'm not anywhere close to 65. I also wasn't the one getting bullied. The ‘kill yourself’ crap isn't funny if youve lost family or friends to suicide.

Stop trying to make yourself and the poster out to be victims. Bullying then straight to gaslighting. You're a real peach.
 
Meanwhile, when nobody's looking because of the Zelenskyy distraction, Israel's lapdogs in DC remain loyal to their masters.

In a statement, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio “has determined and provided detailed justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale to the Government of Israel of the above defense articles and defense services in the national security interests of the United States, thereby waiving the Congressional review requirements.”

Victims? I’m making fun of you for playing the victim. Your proud boy & patriot compadres are shaking their heads seeing you cry bully.
 
What Vance did yesterday, in Hollywood terms, is called "The Stranger in the Room." Screenwriters, especially, are well aware of the role of The Stranger in the Room. The Stranger in the Room is anyone in a meeting who is just there "as a friend," someone who has no creative authority on, and no stake in, the project being discussed, anyone in the room who is a last-minute addition. Sometimes it's a 20-something intern, sometimes it's an executive from a sister office, sometimes it's someone from marketing, sometimes it's an older, more experienced producer who's lending a hand for a day.

Example: I was once pitching a legacy reboot project to a legendary producer, a real lion of the industry. His 22-year-old daughter was also in the room. She interrupted my pitch to say "Right, but we don't want, like, any conflict in the movie."

The purpose of The Stranger in the Room is to destroy the project. The Stranger in the Room is the one who, after the writer and producer and director have all agreed on the direction of the story, says "How will that play in China?" or "This sounds a lot like [movie X]" or "But isn't this movie really about love?"

The Stranger in the Room is always, always there at the behest of the most powerful person in the room. Whether the Stranger understands it or not, they are acting on the behalf of the studio, and it is the studio's natural desire to say "no," because no one has ever gotten fired for saying "no," and Hollywood executives, more than anything else, spend their entire careers terrified they're going to lose their jobs for saying "yes."

But they don't want to be disliked by creatives, so instead of saying "no," they bring in a friend, either a protege or an ally from another department, or just grab someone from the hallway, a producer on another project, and ask them to sit in on the meeting. They don't know what they're looking for, they hear a hundred pitches a day, they don't know what, if anything, will please their bosses, so they bring in an ally to get another viewpoint, any viewpoint, on the project, so that they can then say "no" without looking like an asshole. Instead, they can say "Yes, that's a good point, we have to keep in mind the China market," or "Yeah, this DOES sound a lot like [movie X] now that I hear it out loud," or "Yeah, what about love? We're forgetting all about love, why isn't your action movie pitch really about love?"

And then, suddenly, the balance in the room shifts. Suddenly, a collaboration, a negotiation as it were, becomes an argument. Where, just moments earlier, everyone was agreeing on how awesome the project sounded, now, suddenly, the creatives are on one side and the suits are on the other, and the meeting becomes a power struggle, one the creatives can only lose, because the suits have the money and the creatives only have the art.

So, in Hollywood terms, Zelenskyy was the writer/director/producer, Trump was studio executive terrified of losing his job, and Vance was the disinterested ally brought in to bring up some random point that would turn the negotiation into an argument that the writer/director/producer cannot possibly win. I'll leave it up to you to figure out who studio head is.
