Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should either show more gratitude for U.S. aid or step down.
His comments follow a heated Oval Office meeting where Zelenskyy clashed with Trump and JD Vance over a U.S.-negotiated mineral rights deal.
Some Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, echoed calls for Zelenskyy’s resignation, while others, like Sen. James Lankford and Sen. Bernie Sanders, opposed the idea.
Johnson defended the deal, arguing it implicitly guarantees Ukraine's security.

Anyone that has been following this war knows that Zelenskyy has constantly been thanking the US. These fuckers are lying yet again.
They're going to have blood on their hands. Disgusting.

There is no guarantee of security being provided by the us as long as agent krasnov is in office.

"Trump may have to resign after meeting with Zelensky." -Random Internet User
Now that RIU has more credibility than the speaker of the house.

"The leader of that country had a run-in with the leader of our country, and therefore should resign"
In what world does this bullshit make sense? Get fucked moron, you realise he's not in some government department, right? He's the leader of ANOTHER COUNTRY

Speaker Johnson is a traitor who should be dealt with in the appropriate manner.

Shouldn’t they be calling for Vance’s resignation? He’s the one who broke protocol, not Zelenskyy

Speaker Johnson, then, is a useless idiot.

How could anybody watch that interaction and believe that somebody needs to resign over that, but that person isn't trump? Grandpa threw a temper tantrum and embarrassed the country in front of the entire world. He thinks he's being strong, but he's just gifting soft power to the EU when they pick up the check and look like big damn heroes.
The US is circling the drain and his dipshit cultists think this is a win. I fear that we're already beyond the event horizon.

Why would the guarantee need to be implicit?

You first, dipshit. Zelensky isn't a puppet, unlike Trump.

Lmao holy shit. It’s so comically obvious that Johnson is playing for the domestic audience, and the domestic audience alone. This whole clusterfuck is entirely insane.

Johnson should resign for two reasons:
His name is a synonym for penis which isn’t family-friendly.
I love the drama of a republican lead government trying to get anything done.
