    In an un-fucking-believable move, the Americans stopped sharing intelligence and disabled Starlink’s military services, rendering Ukraine completely defenseless against Russian ballistic missiles just prior to a major attack.

    This coming shortly after the US essentially negated its economic sanctions on Russian diesel and once again pressured Kyiv to unilaterally cease its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, even as Russia ramps up their own attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

    Trump is now publically aiding the Russians in their aggression against Ukraine and Europe

        They didn’t shut down access, just made it so their weapons didn’t work.

        Those are the same thing. Ukraine wasn’t using it to shit post on X.

    Trump is a traitor. He should be treated as such.

    I really hope the Ukrainians can continue winning the war without it.

      Trump is a traitor, and he is insane and a liar and corrupt and has dementia.
      But other than that, everything is fine. 🤥 🤡

      Whilst it could be argued he’s not fighting in the war, he’s definitely put a massive target on his own head that is bigger than most soldiers, and keeps himself at risk.

      You can hear the sound of Zalensky’s massive balls clanging together from miles away.

      And unlike Trump, you can tell he isn’t worried about what people think of him. He doesn’t try to pretend to be a “strong man”

        True and Russia would be dumb enough to try…

        But I think that he would be a terrible strategic target. Weighing the value of his leadership versus the risk of martyrdom…

      Actually, the US has always supported the Ukrainian quest for independence. Don’t listen to the naysayers. They simply don’t understand the deep bound that exists between our two nations.

    I felt this was going to happen eventually, I just didn’t know how soon. It also follows suit with Trump working to create a new world hegemony where he sees himself acquiring Canada and Greenland and letting everything else fall to Russia and China. The only way it can even begin to be real is with a world war where the US deliberately ghosts Europe and NATO, and it has already begun to do that.

      Trump’s international policy is so incoherent it is much more productive to compare it with type 2 jam instead of international politics.

      You forgot Cuba and Venezuela, and likely more.

      Taking some solace that while there’s a lot more than just Trump at work here, he is somehow the key figurehead that when he passes (how long can a fat 80 year old who loves fast food last, even with the best health care?) wil leave the broader movement unraveling.

        It won’t unravel, it will just get more extreme from now on. This is not something you just democratically vote yourself away from. The very concept of democracy is almost no longer tenable given how techno oligarchs have perfected within their social networks what Cambridge Analytica started.

        I don’t know, but I think we are headed towards the modern analogue of the sort of dark ages that have left empty capitals out of ancient civilizations that had previously been thriving, with AI and robotics being prepped to fill the voids. The value of human society is rapidly becoming less of a necessity for the ultrarich, with lies and deception are part of their core values - half truths and a tailored mix rationale and dehumanization that will sadly shape the future of our timeline by appealing to society’s baser emotions. I dread for our future and bid farewell to the sort of one that seemed possible from the world that once cooperated and averted the ozone hole from becoming a catastrophe.

          These are just the necessary consequences of capitalism. Workers never had a choice in the system, we can only ever express our voice through collective action, like how the Civil Rights Movement was fought. This isn’t a new development, it’s a new stage in deterioration of the imperialist stage in capitalism. The solution is socialism, and the method to establish it is revolution. This has been clear for over a century.

        Because they were withholding approved military funding solely because he didn’t wear a suit…and all in attendance were mocking him because of it.

          They were withholding funding because they are Russian compromised fascists who support Hitlerian invasions of neighboring countries. The complaint about his attire was just the lie of the day.

      He ate shit and humiliated himself in front of the whole world on the off chance he could still get some benefit for Ukraine. This means he’s given up on them.

    Using the word “betrayed” implies he trusted him in the first place, which I strongly doubt.
