Zelenskyy’s visit to Pennsylvania weapons factory upsets speaker as Trump continues attacks on Ukrainian president
The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, has demanded that Ukraine fire its ambassador to Washington as the feud between Donald Trump and Volodymr Zelenskyy escalated and Republicans accused the Ukrainian leader of election interference.
Johnson complained that Markarova had organised the visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant as a “partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats”. The event was attended by the Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who has campaigned in support of Kamala Harris.
I don't get how people honestly think Trump is Putin's bitch. Trump is a malignant narcissist and impossible to be "handled". He'll throw anyone and everyone under the buss and had no problem escalating with Russia. The thing is that Trump like his base simply don't give a shit about any Slavic people, even if they're married to one. The republicans are simply not susceptible to the "justice and democracy" nonsense the liberals are selling. So Trump does whatever serves Trump and he had no problem arming the worse of the far right elements in Ukraine:
Manafort duly resigned, and the RussiaGate racket erupted–a connivance that went some way to ensuring the “pro-Ukrainian agenda in American foreign policy” wasn’t compromised one iota.
Indeed, Trump’s term in office was typified by ever-escalating hostility between Washington and Moscow, the Oval
Office resident going to dangerous lengths his predecessor had
consistently refrained from to arm and galvanize the most reactionary and violent elements of the Ukrainian armed forces, including the
notorious Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, and tear up Cold War arms control
treaties, much to Moscow’s chagrin.
