The American side deliberately orchestrated the confrontation during President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House, Friedrich Merz, the head of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the likely chancellor, said on March 3.

“It was not a spontaneous reaction to interventions by Zelensky, but obviously a manufactured escalation in this meeting in the Oval Office,” Merz said at a press conference in Hamburg.

The visit was expected to mark the signing of a long-debated agreement between Ukraine and the U.S. on jointly developing Ukraine’s mineral resources.

    Is it ok, with you if I’m horrified? Just curious, as your reply will certainly not affect my feeling of being horrified. Were you involved, I mean in any way whatsoever in the events in the Oval Office? I sure as hell wasn’t, I have been minding my own business on the far side of the NA continent. And voted against ALL of this shitshow, in case you are interested. BTW, I never said, "“woah, we have nothing to do with any of this!”, just in case you somehow misread me. Cheers. Also Happy Cake Day!!
