Russian leaders cheered after President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance dealt Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a brutal smackdown in the Oval Office Friday, reveling in the public breakdown of relations between the U.S. and Ukraine.
Trump turned on the wartime president during a meeting that he had previously touted as a historic moment in which Zelenskyy would sign a framework to a deal that would let the U.S. share revenue from Ukraine’s rare earth minerals.
Dmitry Medvedev — the former Russian prime minister and president and deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council — was quick to dance on the grave of the U.S.-Ukraine partnership.
“The insolent pig finally got a proper slap down in the Oval Office,” Medvedev wrote on X. “And @realDonaldTrump is right: The Kiev regime is ‘gambling with WWIII.’”
Upvoting this as “thanks for sharing.” I know that’s the way, but this one was tough.
Thanks! Yeah, people are downvoting because the Russians are scumfucks. But being able to say “look how ecstatic the Russians are” is more powerful than saying “I bet the Russians are ecstatic.” It’s important to know even if it’s a massive contribution to my current rage spiral.
My involuntary eye twitch from the First Trump Years is returning.
I was asked by a dentist in 2019 if I ground my teeth a lot. I said yes, and he said he could tell.

Who the fuck writes this propaganda? There was no smackdown. There was a lot of whining and shouting by Trump and his sycophant Vance. This reads like it was written by Putin himself and handed to Politico.
It’s a quote from Medvedev, so yeah it almost is.
That’s not a quote. There are no quotation marks around it, and it doesn’t attribute the statement to anyone.
Further down the article it does quote Medvedev
“The insolent pig finally got a proper slap down in the Oval Office,” Medvedev wrote on X.
That’s a quote, and it’s worded differently than their statement in their opening paragraph.
