People need to stop pretending that the arms shipment block on Ukraine was some pentagon only plan and focus their anger on the real person responsible; Donald Trump. The president could end this now, instead he is trying to weaken Ukraine for Putin’s benefit.
Trump serves Putin, yes, but he also resents Zelenskyy for being a true patriot and a great leader—attributes which underscore Trump’s cowardice and inadequacy.
Colby is the stalking horse, Trump et al do this often. Trot out an idea (Screw Ukraine) & see how bad the fallout is. Look at how draconian their response is to petty Peyton Pl leaks at the DOD. He's a micromanager who won't allow any disloyalty or deviation. Colby had permission to do it.
I think 'ending it now' would be problematic
Trump is trying to bring "peace" to Ukraine - by letting Putin and Russia win. Then he'll claim he really REALLY deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. As if.
Absolutely true! Autocrats negotiate with Autocrats.. T this is a deal they made a long time ago. You take this and I’ll take that. Corruption at the highest level.
despicable all for trumps/vance ego

Hey Phillips - Maybe you shouldn’t have spent all that time slamming President Biden for his lack of perfection? I don’t know, but an honorable leader who rallied the global community to aid the Ukrainian nation - against waves of domestic opponents - sounds pretty damn good now.
It‘s not just Trump! Every Single us american owns this for letting it happen: you voted this morons into Office TWICE! This stain will last for decades. Nobody should ever Trust the USA
The most charitable explanation is that Hegseth has gone rogue and Trump is clueless.
Petain, Quisling, Trump, the unholy trinity. My guess is that the pee pee tapes are real.

Right. The only positive thing about it is: it must be really urgent to help russia before its collapse. Be strong, Ukraine! #SlavaUkraini
He is not trying to weaken Ukraine, he is actually murdering the Ukrainian people and endorsing that Vladimir Putin, a bloodthirsty war criminal who can’t travel anywhere because there’s an international warrant for his arrest, kidnaps thousands of Ukrainian children. Trump is a war criminal too.
Krasnov blindly obeying his master Putin!
Agreed.
Are Trump's 24 hours still running? 🤣
However: Germany IS sending Patriots to Ukr, bought with € from the interest on the Ru Sovereign Wealth Fund, taken from a Belgian Bank by the EU US State Dept of course claims it knows nothing about that & says it wasn’t aware It’s a funny old world, but once again Trump has his cake & eats it!
It's All About The Rare-Earth Minerals they want to PLUNDER!
Because he’s a Russian asset.
But it's really just a continuation and strengthening of the policy of limitation of weapon shipments and restrictions on use by Biden. It's just that he dropped the pretense of escalation management or any semblance of responsibility.
The slow-walking by Jake Sullivan was measured to keep Russia bleeding, Trump is trying to throw Ukraine into Russia's jaws. Nobody can allow Trump's America to have any kind of leverage on them, that position of weakness will be endlessly exploited - that's how Trump did business.
If you "keep Russia bleeding", you keep Ukraine bleeding.
Biden/Sullivan was bad, but Trump is worse. Trump's only goal is to get attention and praise, fuck everyone else.
There is literally no other explanation. Trump is in Putin's pocket, whether because of kompromat or just taking payments.
Give Ukraine 🇺🇦 Weapons Now!
Does Mark Rutte understand yet that Trump is not a friend to European defence
The most stunning thing is to see the super weak Democratic opposition to Trump, the Dems really have to pull their act together soon..
I’m not sure whether anything Trump does on Ukraine is the product of deliberation of any kind, pro-Putin or not. He is just ignorant and does not understand Putin’s ideological fixation. Imo, he thinks making a deal with Putin is the same as making a deal with Steve Wynn about a new Vegas casino 🤷♂️
💯👊🇫🇮🇸🇪🇺🇦
Trump wants that Nobel Peace Prize & a Trump Tower in Moscow. He thinks he can get both by forcing “peace” upon Ukraine.
Trump is a fascist, a traitor and a felon 🤯 Now Europe is on its own to fight Russia. And victory is the only option. #SlavaUkraïni 🇩🇰🇱🇹🇳🇱🇸🇪🇫🇮🇵🇱🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🇳🇴✊🇺🇦
This is exactly the Putin strategy 🙂. Putin always points at some government agency when he doesn't want to take responsibility and a lot of people are fooled by this. Nothing happens in Russia without Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's knowledge or involvement.
Maybe we should talk up his Nobel Prize prospects if he supports weapons and intelligence for Ukraine to beat Russia? #SlavaUkraine
Trump and his desired axis of evil - US, Russia, N. Korea, Israel - are traitors of democracy, human rights and freedom
I hope Europe has contingency plans ready to implement immediately because it was clear that this was coming. Sooner or later everyone who comes into Trump’s orbit ends up fucked over!
They are doing their best, but they can't supply patriot missiles or HIMARS rockets. Ukraine has said they will buy them from the US, but Putin's mate won't sell them.
