Summary

Trump has cut off U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine and paused military shipments, leaving civilians vulnerable to Russian attacks.

His team claims it’s a negotiating tactic to push Zelenskyy toward peace, but the move has shocked military experts and drawn outrage in Kyiv.

Ukrainians call it “blackmail” and a “pathetic” attempt to force submission.

Without U.S. intel, Ukraine will struggle to stop Russian strikes on civilians, raising concerns among allies about America’s reliability. Analysts warn Russia will exploit this weakness.

    Unfortunately I think it’s part of the plan, which is to help Russia as much as possible.

      It’s why his boy Tuck was making Russian travel guides and love songs leading up to the election. The right has a full chub for Putin.

        I mean… If your only real accomplishment is inheriting huge sums of wealth, it makes a bunch of sense. I personally don’t really see the need for Trump to be compromised by Russian intelligence, American oligarchs have always been jealous of the federations kleptocracy.

        What could be better for someone like Trump and his cronies than a system where as long as you’re loyal you can literally do anything you want?

        Have a journalist poking around your business, simply introduce them to the window. A rival business won’t sell you their company for nothing? Make a call and have the government do a “corruption investigation”. Your company is coming under protest for displacing minority groups…off to jail for subversion.

        The Russian Federation is just America in ten years of we don’t make a drastic about face. Our oligarchs have been pushing that way for a while, trump is just accelerating the process.
