Half a year ago, I predicted that if Trump were elected, his administration would:
1) Block Ukraine from joining NATO.
2) Cut off aid to Ukraine.
3) Force Ukraine to surrender territory to russia by freezing the war along the front line.
 
So far, two of these goals have been accomplished. However, the third is more challenging. Putin is reluctant to freeze the war along the front line because it would ultimately mean losing part of russia.
 
By now, it should be obvious to everyone that Trump has no regard for Ukraine. To him, Ukraine is merely an obstacle to a strong relationship with russia. To eliminate this obstacle, he must first ensure that russia regains control of the Kursk region, so that the so-called “negotiations” could being.
 
How is he doing this?
 
First, Trump cut off arms supplies at the most critical moment — just as russia launched a major counteroffensive in Kursk. Second, he halted vital intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
 
According to TIME magazine, these moves have been devastating for Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers, with “the worst losses in Kursk.”
 
So there you have it: Trump is deliberately crippling Ukraine so that russia can recapture Kursk. Once that happens, he will have set the stage for Ukraine’s capitulation under his so-called “peace deal.”
 
Once Trump eliminates the “Ukrainian problem,” he will be free to reunite with his good friend — the war criminal Putin — and rebuild a relationship between the U.S. and russia.

Roman Sheremeta : soon, the Trump kakistocracy will directly arm Russia. Such is their desire for “peace”

Headspinning. Soul-destroying. All innocence lost. Aching for Ukraine, abandoned by the very power that should step in. So utterly traitorous.

Thank you, Roman. You just described the most horrific betrayal of a Western nation – by a Western nation, in man’s memory.
Europe cannot take this lying down. We now need the second part of your article, mapping out how WE Europeans; Poles, Finns, Baltic nations, French, Germans, Danes, Norwegians, Swedes… will mobilize a fortress against this despicable sell-out to a wicked, petty and pathetic regime.

Very suspicious and troubling. Trump’s lack of empathy for innocent Ukrainian victims of Russian aggression is truly despicable. All decent, patriotic Americans are grateful to the brave Ukrainian defenders who have been standing in the gap, defending liberty on behalf of all freedom-loving people.

There is a highly regarded book rated 4.5/5.0 called “American Kompromat’ by Craig Unger that goes far in explaining the rise and reelection of Donald Trump and his relationship with Russia dating back to the 1980’s.
As great a concern as I have about Trump policy on Ukraine and his changing sides, I have an equal if not greater concern about Elon Musk, the AFRIKANER who defends Apartheid and relished meeting with Nazi groups in Germany and giving Sieg Heil salutes in the US.
MUSK’S father Errol and his family made millions from the slavery of Africans under Apartheid. And, like every shit in South Africa MUSK thinks White Afrikaners were entitled to taking 90 % of productive land while leaving 10% to the African majority of 93%. In other words, 7% of South AFRICAN Whites or AFRIKANERS, controlled 90% of the land of South Africa.
Musk was NOT ELECTED by the People and NOT CONFIRMED by the US Senate.
TRUMP will fire Musk because he will then blame the Mess that both created on Elon Musk.
Very, Very Sad what is happening to Our Country.🇺🇲

I think we all expected this Roman. Trump is no Churchill. His cabinet are not appointed based on Merit. Many of them more qualified to be clerks at Walmart.

Trump is happy to disengage from the world and leave regions to regional forces.

With regards to Ukraine his only interest is in giving Putin what he wants. With regards to Europe – his only interest is giving Putin what he wants.

With regards to North America – his only interest is expanding his borders.

With regards to Asia – does he really care about Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia or even Australia? Nope. He is happy for China to lead the region. The only country he is currently concerned about is Taiwan – and only the. Because of TSMC (but that’s temporary and in so far as TSMC is needed)

I hate to say it but there is only one nation that will be able to stand up and provide the leadership needed to steward the world to a better place. And sadly. that is NOT the US.

Senator Mark Kelly has just visited Ukraine. Here is what he had to say:

“Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.

This war started with what Putin thought would be a three-day operation to take Kyiv and control of all of Ukraine. Now three years later, that hasn’t happened. American and allied support has been a big reason why, but I saw how cutting it off now risks everything so many Ukrainians have laid down their lives for. And while our support hasn’t been free, we haven’t sent even half of what President Trump says.

Hospitals should never be targets in war, but Putin is a war criminal who targets hospitals routinely. I visited one in Kyiv. Injured soldiers told me how they want to get back to the fight. Nurses there shared their stories of the invasion with me through tears. Stories of violence that women and children of Ukraine suffered during the invasion. These nurses told me how they witnessed Russian soldiers raping children in front of their parents and then murdering these children in front of their parents. Horrendous war crimes which can never be forgiven. Donald Trump says he trusts Putin and is trying to make him look like a friend and a good guy. I look forward to seeing Putin rot in prison.

The pause of military aid has only made it harder for Ukraine in their fight against Russia. They are running low on certain weapons which have made it most of the way to Ukraine. Stopping the transfer of these weapons only helps the Russians. The Russians will become more confident and try to drive a harder bargain in ceasefire talks. This isn’t rocket science. We should be negotiating from a position of strength.

Donald Trump is trying to weaken Ukraine’s hand and we are owed an explanation. If Putin gains ground he won’t agree to a ceasefire and will eventually threaten a NATO ally and this puts American troops and the American people at risk.

I met with Ukrainian pilots, one who I had met in Arizona when he was learning to fly the F-16. They are flying challenging combat missions against the Russians who are protected by a considerable electronic warfare and surface to air missile system defense. They’ve learned a lot and they are getting better and having more success. When Trump cut off these pilots from US intelligence that they need to plan their missions, he blinded them to the threat and put them and their aircraft at risk. But worse than that, it helps the Russians advance further into Ukrainian territory and murder more Ukrainians. President Trump says the Russians are “hitting them hard” in a tone of voice that implies approval. It is sickening to see from an American President. “Hitting them hard” means more dead Ukrainian kids.

Ukraine did not start this war, and they did not ask for the constant missile and drone attacks that have terrorized the population. Government officials who can’t acknowledge factual information should reevaluate their career choices.

I saw the innovation and fighting spirit of the Ukrainians up close. It was embodied in their military members, everyday people and by these students who are aviation engineers using their spare time to help Ukrainians innovate in their military. They now have a defense industrial base that we should envy and that we can learn from. They have an innovation cycle measured in days while ours is years. We should be learning from it, not slowing it down.

Lastly I visited the Wall of Remembrance to pay tribute to Ukraine’s dead soldiers. I’m bringing back what I saw and learned from Ukrainian leaders, servicemembers and the Ukrainian people to show the direct impact our support is having on the ground. The safety and security of Ukraine is tied to the safety and security of the United States. Let me explain why.

If we abandon our ally Ukraine, we will be viewed by other countries including our other allies as untrustworthy and in the future we shouldn’t expect their help. As significant as that is, what is a bigger deal is the reaction we would see from China. The Chinese watch everything and they want to take Taiwan. If they view our partnerships and our loyalty to our allies as weak they are more likely to try to take Taiwan by force. If that happens, this President or any future President will have to make one of the most consequential decisions in the history of our country. My goal is to avoid that decision. We avoid that by strengthening our alliances, not weakening them.

Finally, if we stand with Ukraine they will be there for us. This country has a fighting spirit and a depth of experience and kickassness unmatched anywhere in the world today. These are the people you want in your corner. My goal in the Senate is and will continue to be to keep us out of wars. I think that is true for most combat veterans like me. We want to stay out of the fight. But when things go sideways and we find ourselves on the battlefield in a foreign land or God forbid, at home, the first call I’d want to make is to our Ukrainian friends. I know they would be there for us if we are there for them.

The world will become a very cold and lonely place if we continue this ridiculous “screw you, go it alone” foreign policy. It’s dumb and it won’t age well and puts you and your kids and your grandkids at risk. America is the strongest, richest country in the world. We didn’t get there by being bullies like Putin, we got there by leading from the front and bringing our allies. That’s why I’ll continue to share with everyone who will listen why we must keep supporting Ukraine.”

Kremlin chief propagandist Skabeyeva on russian state TV: “We support everything Trump is doing. We love how he is behaving.”

I honestly never could have imagined a scenario like this. I knew that if Trump were elected, it would be bad for Ukraine. But this is literally a complete alignment with russia — by russia’s own admission.

The U.S. administration is doing everything they can to destroy Ukrainian military.

Today, they halted support for Ukrainian F-16s. Trump’s team has ordered the cessation of vital support for the jamming systems of Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets.

Before being delivered, the aircraft were upgraded with AN/ALQ-131 pods, PIDS+, and ECIPS+ systems, enhancing their ability to counter russian threats. Now, the U.S. has disabled these systems, putting Ukrainian pilots at risk.

The U.S. will have to bear the weight of history and the betrayal of Ukraine.

Journalist: “Are you comfortable with the fact that you walked away and Ukraine might not survive?”

Trump: “Well, it may not survive anyway.”

July 1987, Moscow, USSR — Trump, 41 years old, flies to Moscow at the invitation of Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Dubinin.

Upon returning from Moscow, the bankrupt Trump suddenly receives loans from 16 banks and, without negotiation, purchases The Plaza Hotel for $407.5 million — a record price for a hotel.

What does this mean? There are several theories, one of which suggests that Trump is a russian asset.

Currently, three former KGB agents claim that Trump was recruited by russia. They allege that the KGB used flattery and business opportunities to appeal to Trump’s ambitions, aiming to recruit him as an asset.

Upon his return to the U.S., the then-apolitical Trump began loudly criticizing NATO, taking out full-page ads in The Washington Post on September 2, 1987.

These claims come from Alnur Mussayev, former KGB officer and ex-head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service, as well as ex-KGB agents Yuri Shvets and Sergei Zhyrno, who now reside in the U.S. and France, respectively.

None of these former KGB operatives has provided direct evidence, but the fact that three agents, speaking at different times and from different locations, tell the same story suggests that the possibility should not be dismissed.

Regardless of whether these allegations are true, Trump’s behavior is telling. He has sided with russia and North Korea at the UN, is pulling out of NATO, and has alienated Western allies with trade wars.
