American Exceptionalism took a body blow

Top that with being laughed at in every capitol around the world!

Especially Russia 

I have not been more embarrassed since the shipboard Mission Accomplished!

We are exceptional a-holes now. 

Many Americans posted to Zelensky on social media, expressing their embarrassment. I've seen the response on s site for a Ukrainian artist friend.

I have NOT believed in American exceptionalism for a very long time.  Our national myth that we are God's gift to the world leads to bad things.

Most people don't understand it because they believe the lies they have been told about this war.  They think the Ukrainians can win.  They think Zelensky is Churchill.  They think Trump talking to the Russians is treason and even that he might be some kind of Russian agent.

None of that is true.  The Ukrainians cannot win this war.  Zelensky is a  used up anti-democratic proxy who let his country be used and destroyed (and who lied his butt off during that meeting).  And Russiagate was a hoax.  Trump (who IS an orange blowhole) wants to make a peace deal with the Russians and end this war which is the best strategy going forward. Showing the ugly side of US foreign policy out in the open may or may not be a good way to go.  

I get how if you don't know what's going on it looked like two mean thugs picking on this cute little green man but we are not children anymore.

Your comments don't have much to do with American exceptionalism.

The way Zelensky was treated was a very low point in our history.  Regardless of one's stance on how to end the war against Ukraine, Trump's behavior was wrong and unhelpful.
