Thomas Friedman: “What occurred within the Oval Workplace on Friday — the clearly deliberate ambush of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine by President Trump and Vice President JD Vance — was one thing that had by no means occurred within the practically 250-year historical past of this nation: In a serious conflict in Europe, our president clearly sided with the aggressor, the dictator and the invader in opposition to the democrat, the liberty fighter and the invaded.”
“You need an analogy? Think about if, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel got here to the White Home this month, Trump and Vance informed him that the conflict with Hamas had gone on too lengthy, too many lives had been misplaced and it was costing America an excessive amount of cash, so it was time for Bibi and the Israeli individuals to do a take care of the Hamas aggressor.”
“As a result of Russia did to Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, what Hamas did to Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 — a shock invasion, homicide and the following sexual violence to wreak destruction on one other nation and its society.”
Peter Baker: “By no means up to now few many years at the very least has a president engaged in such an indignant, scathing assault on a visiting international chief within the Oval Workplace.”
