I woke up this morning and a chilling thought went through my brain. Is rump really betraying America to Russia? I still cannot wrap my mind around that concept. My higher brain says, "NO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" will not let this happen! Then I feel sick to my stomach. We have a dictator in office with all the sycophants licking his toes because millions of Americans were apathetic and indifferent.

The American people have already let this happen. For shame.

What are the American people going to do about it?

The one word that comes to mind as a result of that Trump / Vance performance and I have no doubt that it was an orchestrated attack on Zelenskyy is Kompromat.

Trump may of may not have been recruited by the KGB in 1987, and his code name may or may not be Krasnov, but all indications make me strongly suspect that he was at least and agent of influence, and the “Oval Office Overture” has all the hallmarks of a KGB / FSB information operation.

Reasons for my thinking this….

1. The presser seemed to be much longer than would be normal before the substance of the meeting that was planned for after. Why was this unless the plan was never to have the meeting.

2. The presence of the Russian Press.

3. The planting of Brian Glenn.

4. JD Vance acting as a warm up act for Trumps loss of temper.

5. The announcement afterwards that America is discontinuing its Cyber Warfare Defences targeting Russia.

6. Pete Hegseths threat to use military force against Mexico.

7. State department announcing that it will cease funding Ukraines energy sector.

8. Military aid to Ukraine suspended.

9. NATO contribution put on hold.

All this screams Kompromat to me.

We are literally being sold out to Russia in real time.

They are intentionally removing the guardrails which will basically allow their hackers to access every secure network in this country. I give it 2 yrs, the US is going to be the 2nd arm of Russia. And nobody is doing anything about it ... This is terrifying folks. We're defenseless

You're not defenceless. You are 350 million people, not everyone is lobotomized. Your streets and squares are empty, why?

Yes, what are the American people going to do about this?

Thoughts and prayers are not going to cut it.

Be careful about your quotes in order to maintain credibility.

Zelenskyy said “costume” and therefore “suit” might have best been presented in parentheses.

Elsewhere it’s been said that Kostume is Ukrainian for suit. If this is true, then Zelensky made a rather brilliant wordplay (not card game!) off the cuff in a secondary language in a high pressure situation. I could not admire him more.

Because his courage and intelligent defense of his country has been open to public viewing for three long years, we tend to think of Zelenskiy as a man of steel, almost a Marvel super-hero.

He's not. He's a hero, but he's bearing an unimaginable burden on his shoulders, every minute of every day.

You are the first I'm aware of to point out how exhausted he must be, and yet he must carry on. He deserves unreserved good will and every support, and our hopes and prayers for him and his country. 🌈🙏🇺🇦

These behaviors NEED to be seen !

Yes I think MTG’s ‘boyfriend’ Brian Glenn was auditioning for a part in the new ‘Suits’ series, probably a poor script written by JD Vance.

Zelenskyy walked into a trap—Trump completely dominated that exchange. Do you think Zelenskyy handled it well?
