free of charge bet mgm operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming ontario actions not just words britain stands with ukraine today and always That is how you respond to the despicable behavior of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the Oval Office when President Zelensky of Ukraine was invited as a guest only for Donald Trump and Vance to launder Russian propaganda, to attack Zelensky in the Oval Office and to try to break Zelensky. Zelensky wouldn't break. Zelensky then went to the United Kingdom where he met with United Kingdom's Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who showed what a state visit is actually supposed to look like, how leaders in democracies are supposed to treat other leaders of democracies who are supposed to be our allies. Take a look at this video. Kier Starmer posted of the moment Ukrainian President

Zelensky arrived in the UK for this meeting where a historic $3.3 billion security deal was inked. And there was a whole crowd of people cheering on Zelinsky action not just words play this clip So at this meeting the UK and Ukraine signed a three point three billion dollar Security deal the money will be dispersed in the next days. We know they are needed ASAP. Europe is standing up. We're talking about the UK. We're talking about the EU. We're talking about the nations in the EU. We're talking about Canada. We're talking about Australia. We're talking about the world democracies coming together to support zielinski

even more now based on the traitorous and despicable behavior by the trump regime in the united states take a look at the moment this 3.3 billion dollar security deal was inked very much uh and that's uh our side of it. And in the next few days, the disbursements of money, we should be able to make those to Ukraine. I know that they are needed as quickly as possible. Thank you so much, Minister, for being able to join us today. Kier Starmer then posted the following, showing how you're supposed to treat an ally. Kier Starmer writes, it was an honor to welcome President Zelensky to Downing Street

and reiterate my unwavering support for Ukraine. I am determined to find a path that ends Russia's illegal war and ensures a just and lasting peace that secures Ukraine's future and sovereignty and security. Slava, Ukraine. Kier Starmer then posted this as well.

My support for Ukraine is unwavering. The UK stands with you. Take a look at this video that was posted. You're very, very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. We stand with you, with Ukraine, for as long as it may take, and to achieve what we both want to achieve, a lasting peace.

Thank you very much, Kira. Prime Minister, having you here. People of the United Kingdom, such peace and support from the very beginning of this war. Thank you. We are very happy in Ukraine to have such friends. Fantastic. Thank you. We are very happy in Ukraine that we have such friends. Fantastic. Thank you. Now, this follows Kier Starmer posting this other video right here, which is after Donald Trump's disgusting and repulsive behavior during his meeting with Zelensky, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wasted zero time on Friday to call out the fascistic behavior of Putin, Trump, and all of it. Watch this incredible video. Let's play it.

Russia does not hold all the cards in this war because the Ukrainians have the courage to defend their country, because Russia's economy is in trouble, and because they have now lost the best of their land forces and their Black Sea fleet in this pointless invasion. I want to show you what French President Emmanuel Macron is doing as well. But I want to check this out as well, because I had a blind spot with this story as well. You have Pete Hegseth, the Fox host turned Secretary of Defense somehow in the United States, exactly what Putin would love and is loving. Hegseth warns of military action if Mexico fails to meet Trump's border demands. It's been reported by the Wall Street Journal and others. I had a

blind spot to it, but fortunately, I am using something called ground news. I've talked about ground news before. It's essential nowadays to see through any double standards in the current media ecosphere. If you go to ground.news.mtn or scan the QR code I'm posting right here, we're going to give our viewers 40% off Ground News' top-tier vantage plan, which will get you unlimited access to everything that I think is important for you to see, which is I use Ground News to see, okay, what is the right-wing reporting on? What's left-wing reporting on? And they have a function called blind spot. I want to know, do I have blind spots? Are there things that right-wing media is talking about that I'm not seeing anywhere else? Do I need to bolster my coverage here? And here's an example as well. Right now you have treasury secretary, Scott Besant,

trying to have Donald Trump save face again, come up with another fake sham deal with Canada saying, Canada, you need to match Mexico's plan to go after Canada or else we're going to tariff you. Just take a look at this. You have like no one from the left is covering this. You have 56% of coverage on the right and from the center. So go check it out. Ground.news.mtn. Scan the QR code. We're giving our viewers 40% off Ground News. Top tier vantage plan. I often get asked, how do you do your research?

This is how I do my research. It'll get you unlimited access to everything I've shown you and more. Ground News is subscriber funded, so they don't rely on ads. That could also introduce bias. Subscribing supports our channel and their independent team working to keep media transparent. Go and check it out. And it helps me with my research. Ground.news slash MTN. Let's get back to some of this reporting. This is from inside this meeting between Keir Starmer and Zelensky, where Starmer says you have the full backing across the United Kingdom.

And again, contrast this to whatever the hell that happened in the Oval Office with Trump. Let's play it. Cheers on the street outside. You have full backing across the United Kingdom. And we stand with you, with Ukraine, for as long as it may take. ac rydym yn sefyll gyda chi, gyda'ch Wcrain, am yr amser y bydd yn ei wneud. Ac rwy'n gobeithio y byddwch wedi clywed rhywfaint o hynny yn y sgrin. Yn hytrach, mae'r bobl o'r Wlain Gwledydd yn dod allan i ddemonstru sut maen nhw'n cefnogi chi, sut maen nhw'n cefnogi Wcrain, a'n arwain arbennig i sefyll gyda chi, Ukraine and our absolute determination to stand with you, unwavering determination,

and to achieve what we both want to achieve, which is a lasting peace, a lasting peace for Ukraine based on sovereignty and security for Ukraine, so important for Ukraine, so important for Europe, and so important for the United Kingdom. So I'm much looking forward to our discussions here this afternoon. Thank you very much for making the time to come. It was a pleasure. Thank you very much, Kier. Mr. Prime Minister, happy to be here. And really, I saw a lot of people and I want to thank

you, people of the United Kingdom, such big support from the very beginning of this war. Thank you, your team. And I'm very happy that His Majesty the King accepted my meeting tomorrow. And I'm thankful that you organized such a summit for tomorrow. And we are very happy in Ukraine that we we have such strategic partners we signed with you historic documents yeah we have only with you such documents with the united kingdom so we're happy

and um we count on your support and really really uh we're really happy that we have such such partners and such friends. Fantastic. Thank you. Thank you very much, Peter. President Zelensky of Ukraine then wrote the following. London, a meaningful and warm meeting with Prime Minister Kjer Starmer. During our talks, we discussed the challenges facing Ukraine and all of Europe, coordination with partners, concrete steps to strengthen Ukraine's position, and ending the war with a just peace along with robust security guarantees. A principled statement of support from the Prime Minister and an important decision.

Today, in our presence, Ukraine and the United Kingdom signed a loan agreement. This loan will enhance Ukraine's defense capabilities and will be repaid using revenues from Russia's frozen assets. The funds will be directed toward weapon production in Ukraine. This is true justice. The one who started the war must be the one to pay. I thank the people and government of the United Kingdom for their tremendous support from the very beginning of this war. We are happy to have such a strategic partner and to share the same vision of what a

secure future should look like for all. I want you to watch the video that President Zelensky posted about this meeting, and I want you to think of as well. This is how you stand up to the incompetent loser authoritarian Trump regime. This is how you do it. Europe is stepping up. America's getting isolated. Here, play this clip. Let me just say that you're very, very welcome here in Downing Street. Happy to be here. And really, I saw a lot of people and I want to thank you, people of the United Kingdom, such big support from the very beginning of this war. Thank you, your team. We're really happy that we have such partners and such friends.

Fantastic. Thank you. Thank you very much, Lidia. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. And that's our side of it. And in the next few days, thank you so much, Minister, for being able to join us today. Thank you. President Emmanuel Macron posted the following as well, or made the following comments, rather. If anyone is playing World War III, it is Putin. He brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to Europe. He begged for

Iranian drones, aiding their nuclear program in return to wage war on Europe. It is not Zelensky who's playing World War III III Donald. So what's Donald Trump doing right now? Yes, he's golfing, more vacationing. He's reposting Marjorie Taylor Greene, MAGA Republican extremist. This is what homeschooling looks like in Georgia's 14th. Golf of America, everybody. Look at how smart we are in Georgia's 14th. We take maps that say Gulf of Mexico and we put America over it. Yeah. By the way, did you see when J.D. Vance went to Vermont? Of course, he was vacationing in a blue state.

Get the hell out of blue states, J.D. Why don't you go to one of your red states? See what they enjoy. Enjoy the red state. Go to Oklahoma. No offense to Oklahoma. Go to Arkansas. No offense to Arkansas. No offense to Oklahoma. Go to Arkansas. No offense to Arkansas.

These are the signs that greeted J.D. Vance in Vermont. Vance is a traitor. Go ski in Russia. Vance uses fake syrup. Donald Trump golfing, golfing, golfing. Oh, by the way, remember that question that Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend asked Zelensky? Because now in America, our press is kicked out of the Oval Office, but they bring in Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. I'm not making that up, Brian Glenn. He's like, why aren't you wearing a suit?

By the way, here's Winston Churchill at the White House not wearing a suit because his country was at war during World War II. Just take a look at some of these UK headlines as well from the Daily Mail. Raging Trump humiliates Zelensky on live TV. A spectacle to horrify the world. This is from the Mail. Amid outrage over US President's humiliation of Zelensky and as the King of the United Kingdom hosts Ukraine leader today, members of parliament and top brass demand. Now stop the state visit for bully Trump. Do not let Trump in. And then it shows that's how

to treat a war hero. Prime ministers hug ahead of crunch summit because today European leaders are showing up in the United Kingdom. By the way, did you see this from Haltbach Bunkers? This is a Norwegian fuel company, Haltbach Bunkers. And they said, after witnessing, this is their language, after witnessing the biggest shit show ever presented on live TV by the current American president and his vice president, huge credit to president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm, even though USA put on a backstabbing TV show. It made us sick, short and sweet. And as a result, we have decided to immediately stop as a fuel provider to any American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports, no fuel to Americans. We encourage all Norwegian Europeans

to follow our example. And indeed, when a United States nuclear submarine, the USS Delaware, showed up, they were forced to turn around off the coast of Norway after a refusal to refuel by a private company following the Trump and Zelensky meeting. May I share this with you? This TikToker, I think, did an incredible job, I think, laying out what it was like if Trump and Vance were hostage negotiators. Great work to follow this guy.

Here, play this clip. Hello, this is a negotiator. Hello? Hello, police? Yeah, they've kidnapped me. They said they're going to hurt me unless I... Whoa, whoa, whoa. Have you said thank you?

Sorry? Have you even said thank you? We're trying to help here, and you're not going to thank us? Thank you. I've been kidnapped, and they're going to hurt me, and they say they're gonna hurt more people. You shouldn't have made them kidnap you in the first place. What?

Stop dictating to us. You're being a real dictator right now. Okay, I'm sorry. What am I supposed to do? Let us have your stuff. What? Yeah, let us have like your food and clothes and all your stuff. Okay. We might be able to help. Okay, fine. You can have my stuff, I guess. Can you help now?

We've made a decision. Okay, great. Are you going to help? We're going to support the captors. What? Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
