The President’s Daily Brief
Former U.S. Army Europe Commander General Ben Hodges joins Mike Baker to break down President Trump’s surprising reversal on the war in Ukraine. Hodges explains why the announcement may not be the victory some supporters think—and what it could really mean for Kyiv, Moscow, and the future of the war.

There is no reversal in the position of Trump. He is providing no weapons unless NATO countries buy them from the US. All the talk about Tomahawks is just talk until it happens.
The General has examined Krasnov’s words and concluded that his use of “EU” instead of “Nato”
implies a washing of his hands of Ukraine and that he won’t be supporting them, other than functioning as an arms dealer.
Even if paid in full; and btw he expects a 10% Tony Soprano-type “vig”, no one knows if a) he will allow Storm Shadows; whose command and control systems are in his power, to fly into putlerstan, or b) whether he will provide Tomahawks and ATACMS without restrictions.
Merz said he would provide Taurus, but subsequently backtracked.
As the General said : Biden refused to make the recovery of all Ukraine’s land a strategic U.S. objective and so has Krasnov.
Taco is a taco and there’s no changing this fact. He still loves the war criminal tyrant, even though the tyrant plays him like a cheap, orange fiddle.
