Yesterday, February 28th, I watched the meeting between America’s leaders and President Zelensky, and I was floored. Trump and Vance’s behavior was so despicable and sickening that my stomach literally churned. I was so out of it that I couldn’t function, so I went into robot mode for the rest of the day. The reporters present in that room weren’t any better. How can you dare ask a man why he isn’t wearing a suit when he is wearing black clothes in support of his people who are fighting for their freedom? How can you laugh when, in his nation, the women are being raped, the children kidnapped, and the men slaughtered? It’s beyond disgraceful and shameful: it’s revolting. I cannot comprehend how these men can go to sleep after what they’ve said and done, nor can I ever understand whoever supports this kind of atrocious behavior. This meeting was not diplomacy: it was men trying to inflate their egos by bringing down and making a hero beg for help with an unjust deal on balance.
President Zelensky deserves respect, not ridicule. Did you know? America made Ukraine get rid of its nuclear weapons in 1994 in exchange for its protection. And what has its current administration done? Belittle and betray Ukraine. Who will ever believe and trust America now? No one who’s sane. But I guess people are quick to forget. Yet, yesterday’s actions by Trump and his minions should never be forgotten and never forgiven.
I’ve never been more fearful of my southern neighbor than I am now. If Americans don’t stand up to the tyranny happening within their own borders, who knows who’s going to be their madman leader’s next victim? I would rather not know.
All my wishes and prayers go to Ukraine and President Zelensky.
Stay safe, people.
