Absolutely disgusting to talk to Zelensky like this utterly deplorable.

This is not how statesmen behave. I'm ashamed to be American.

One upside is that Ukrainians will majorly rally around him now.

LOL. Elected by the people=dictator. Keep it up Ivan and earn that potato. haahah

[u/SkinsFanSince1984 → u/PossibilityYou9906]

Refusing to hold election = dictator

Not that complicated

[u/PossibilityYou9906 → u/SkinsFanSince1984]

LOL. Let me help you understand since you are confused. Following your countries constitution means you are NOT a dictator. Ukraine was attacked by Russia and are at in a state of war. So per their constitution they can not hold elections until the war has ended.

Trump said what needed to be said. Zelensky is a dictator

Truly, there is nothing more dictatorial than getting invaded by another country.

[u/quinoa → u/[deleted]]

The mental gymnastics he has y’all in to support everything he does lmao
