This is a piece I had planned on writing as a rebuke to Biden administration, in the event of a Kamala Harris victory. Perhaps the topic becomes even more urgent now, as the US government enters a transition phase to a second Trump term of office. With the US apparently supplying only 10% of the promised and approved aid to Ukraine that was mandated in the April aid bill, we must ask, can Trump really be much worse than this?
It’s a point Ukrainians have been making for some time – that delusions and weakness under the Democrats may be more dangerous than facing the stark reality of a Trump presidency.

At the start of November Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukraine’s allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid the threat from North Korea, and before the troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reached the battlefields of Kursk and Donbas. The geopolitical rubbernecking continued, and little seems to have been done of any impact. No new supplies to address the significantly escalatory threat and no lifting of existing of red lines.
Pathetically John Kirby announced that ‘no new red lines’ would be imposed in response to Russia’s successful attempts to drag North Korea into the war, a statement that has the deterrence power of brandishing a limp lettuce to deter a charging bull.
A hard hitting episode from Jonathan that destroys the Biden appeasement strategy. Broken promises, excuses, delays make the US a very unreliable ally, and one that could hurt them for decades, because no shithole country is going to be scared of hot air and failed strategies.
