President Zelensky Meeting with Trump and JC

[TropicalStarfish]

you have more patience than I. I can't stand to watch grown adults act as if policy that will affect the lives of millions of people like its a f---ing game. Sad state of affairs. What a mess of a world we live in.

I was quite disheartened by it, as well.. For me, though: it was worth the watch. Nobody I know in my real life, had actually seen the full meeting, or was willing to, upon my suggestion. And despite this, their minds were quite made about it..

I think their minds were made about it before the meeting ever happened. Which is part of why I want nothing to do with politics. Sadly, I can't get away from them because my job often throws them at me and my political science nut of a son also throws them at me.
I obviously have my own opinions, but I don't align myself with either side. Both sides are doing a piss poor job of it and they seem to be more about doing "better" than the other side to actually do what's right for America.

From my angle as a foreigner, I can tell you it was probably the biggest international embarrassment in US's history in a long time. Sure, they've made mistakes and have committed questionable if not outright abhorrable actions in the past (stuff like wikileaks & others) ; but they've always kept a clean and mannered demeanor about it when publicly addressing anything. Unlike what Trump and his associates did that day to the president of a war ridden country, whch in some ways, is fighting a proxy war for the US as much as it is protecting its own.
