The equivalent of the US suspending aid to England in WW2.
Because they won't surrender to Hitler.
Americans see this for what it is. There will never be enough rightwing propaganda to make us not see. Republicans are fascists.
There will not be anymore fair elections. Trump threatens bkue states that they will cease to exist. Just like he's threatening Ukraine. Musk will be the dictatorfor life.
European countries need to step up while Ukraine still has a chance. The window is closing. It's game over when Trump starts sending weapons to Russia.
The plan is for the U.S. and Russia to attack Europe starting with an ambush on Ukraine. The plan was already proposed by Putin to Drumpft. He was so excited for it, he couldn’t help but give us a prelude with performative swallower JDV, and fake reporter, swallower (with a suit) Brian “BJ” Jlenn
Right now I m spitting nails and would rather come up with some way to not watch but stop it. Now! He has already taken out too many lives not just in US but in Ukraine for holding back funds in his first term.
Trump: "I, King Donald, will put the screws to Zelenskyy by illegally withholding military aid that Congress already appropriated, until he comes groveling back here in humiliation wearing a suit and red tie, kisses my ring, apologizes, begs my forgiveness, and gives me 1/2 Ukraine's mineral wealth"
This is why Putin is still willing to throw his army into the meat grinder, the bigger goal was to get trump and musk in the WH with Republican majorities. Getting the US out of the game was essential for his long term plans. Intersectionality with bad faith domestic actors here as well.
I think people need to be fully prepared that once Trump lifts the sanctions from Russia, he'll announce a deal with Russia for rare earth materials in the territories that Russia has annexed. This is the next step of progression.
Not sure the US military-industrial complex will enjoy having their current market disrupted so quickly, guess they will have to find other markets to peddle death and destruction to.
it hurts Ukraine in short term. but the US under Trump will never recover. their military economy is destroyed, their economic stance in world will be non existant, and no one will agree to any agreement as all know the agreement is worthless with Trump around.
Fine but where’s the fight?Somebody needs to introduce articles of impeachment. Even if they don’t make it to the floor. He’s doing it again. Holding aid over an ally’s to get something in return.
This motherfucker is betraying the people of the United States and Ukraine. This isn’t right and it cannot be allowed. Remove this traitor from office.
I've SEEN enough !!!
trump HAS DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Founder's Principles!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Constitution!
trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Rule of Law!
TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED !!!
AMERICA !!! TAKE TO OUR STREETS !!!
Why not make it 100% official: The US has aligned with Russia after a 80 year close partnership with European friends and allies. There’s no coming back for America..history will judge you hard after choosing dictators instead of democracies with eyes wide open and a mute opposition at home. Shame!
Peace is a great good; and doubly harmful, therefore, is the attitude of those who advocate it in terms that would make it synonymous with selfish and cowardly shrinking from warring against the existence of evil." -Theodore Roosevelt.
That is 100% the reason they behaved like that in that crazy meeting. They attacked President Zelenskyy to create an excuse. It was a pretense to their following putin’s orders to stop helping Ukraine.
I don't think it was a pretext. I do think this was the same end result but with Trump just not honoring the defense part. Zelensky knew what they were up to & called a foul. "Sign over the wealth and we'll get to the defense stuff later."
What we saw was a mob shakedown that blew up in their faces.
Remember, we all know everything about how Trump operates. He's a very limited and predictable person.
Once he secured the stolen riches through extortion, he would just treat Ukraine like he treated the plumbers of his properties. Never meet his part.
But because the extortion failed, he shoots.
This is sickening. Absolutely sickening.
Equally as sickening? Well, I'm just waiting for the Dems to release a "strongly worded press release" any second now. I mean, why bother to hold a press conference NOW when a bunch of lame ass words on a page will SURELY do the trick.
What's playing out in my mind is that DonOLD is the cop who insists that the homeowner Zelensky make a deal with the house burglar Putin, for what items he can steal from the homeowner.
Neither is Russell Vought, one founder of Project 2025! The majority of these drastic actions were outlined in their 900 page document! He and at least six other original project 2025ers, (the project Trump was unfamiliar with while campaigning), now work in his administration!
Facts. Next up is removing sanctions on Russia and starting new business deals with them. Won't be surprised if the US sends Russia weapons to use against Ukraine either.
By re-electing the mad king, the American public has shown itself to be selfish, myopic, and feckless. Our children and our grandchildren will reap what this mendacious chode and his sycophants are sowing.
I am having such a hard time being physically near anyone who voted for him -they are all over the place😢🤬 I feel ill on the regular, I know I’m not alone in that.
why, on earth does my 83 year old mother care about trans-women in highschool sports? How the fuck does that even matter in her life? and yet, they always _has_ to say something about it.
it's a struggle to still love her, and deal with the batshit…
Or my 93 yr old dad, or my younger sister for that matter! So many years of RWNJ indoctrination and Fux News brainwashing. They say it’s fine, just another administration. Only by text, BTW, and only 2 days ago…
Yes that is tougher than I have had to deal with it,
My mother in law is a 3 time trumper - it has changed our relationship into a quiet one … it’s sad
What better way for Trump to show his fealty to war criminal Putin than make Ukraine fight without our weapons & help. Trump is doing all he can to “give”Ukraine and America to his probable boss.He is destroying our government , economy,every facet of our countrty.Why? Treason should be on table.
What a nightmare. If you‘d told me sth like this will happen, 30 years ago I would have told you „yes sure, the movie is called ‚conspiracy theory‘…get a life!“…and now here we are…🥲
I understand a few individuals being corrupted by bad actors but how is that so many Americans have such poor sight, or instincts, that they don't see it? How has the senate and Congress lost it's way so severely?
Sorry...I'm sure you ask all the same questions as often as I do.
Americans please ask yourselves what were your grandfathers, fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, mothers and grandmothers doing during World War II? For what?
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”
10/ This Is How a Superpower Falls Without a Shot Fired
• No need for an invasion.
• No need for nuclear war.
• Just total access to US intelligence, military, & economic secrets, handed over willingly by compromised officials.
Every morning lately I wake in the early hours and reach for my iPad, to see what the motherfucker has been doing whilst we’ve been sleeping (here in the UK). This was totally predictable. It was always the plan. Fuck Trump.
Same extortion tactic he used during the "Perfect phone call" that got him impeached during shitshow 1.0. This is aid approved by Congress, and he has no right to deprive them of it. People will die for his greed and lies. Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for security assurances...
This betrayal is unconscionable and disgusting, and until we eject this felonious traitor everything he does will make the US and our allies less safe, and continue to turn our great country into an irredeemable pariah. Immediate #Impeachment and expulsion is the only answer.
True that. We all need to bust out our microscopes and tweezers, and hopefully, together we'll be able to locate and wrangle enough scrotal material to get the ball(s) rolling!
Because The Stain has NEVER breached a contract by not paying what he owes, or committed PERSISTENT business fraud, or outright lied about what he said publicly 5 minutes before. Yep, nope, it's perfectly reasonable to think he'll keep his commitments. Yeah, go with that.
Putin was overheard complaining that 1867’s Treaty of Cession was a very bad deal for Russia, and now Trump has ordered his aides to come up with a working plan to return Alaska to it’s rightful owner, Russia, as soon as possible.
He has no intention of doing anything to help Ukraine because he works for Putin. My question is if anyone in the party that was once the GOP will do anything to stop this. After all, Congress is the branch with the power of the purse.
Europe knows it must help Zelensky to a much higher level than before. Trump needs to be shown that his continual threats will not be tolerated, and there will be serious consequences.
Things get better because despite the backstabbing by USA Ukrainians now have managed to disrupt the large KAB gliding bombs sent by Russians. The explosives in that unexploded ordinance is sent back to them by Ukrainian drones. As important is US support ingenuity and Europeans will replace it.
Mexicans in the battle of 5 de Mayo saved not only Mexico, they saved US Union depriving CSA of French support, but never seen us like allies, only like a “backyard”
I hope Zelensky says what De Niro said last 🌙, & that all nations that see the need for Ukraine to remain soveriegn and free will orovide everything necessary aso that they also can remain sovereign and free. The US is not free now. Kleptocrats, billionaires, corprs, Putin, trump, fElon, Orban plot
Where is Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, John Thune. The party of Reagan,
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Now it’s, “my bad, let’s build it back up”. It was all just make-believe for every last one of them. Their doctrine has and always will be. “Power by any means necessary”.
I absolutely agree. There was never going to be a deal with Ukraine. How cruel for them to have made him come all the way to DC and then do their performative thing just as theatre intended to humiliate him, and record it for Putin's pleasure.
Why is the U.S. on Russia’s side?
a. Trump and Musk owe money to Russian Oligarchs.
b. Trump and Musk owe money to Putin through Russian Oligarchs.
C. Trump and Musk are batshit crazy and owe money to Russian Oligarchs.
It has crossed my mind more than once Putin will take anyone to conscript and ultimately put them in his cremation trucks that follow battalions. Over 300,000 young Russians have fled Russia right after the invasion. We will end up with protests like those on Vietnam.
And meant for an audience of one. Trump obviously wasn’t expecting Zelensky to refuse to sign so he pissed himself and had a hissy fit. I’m sure he threw an even bigger foot stomping wobbler once the media left the room.
Exactly so - this was always coming in the rush to satisfy Putins urgent need for a ceasefire in order to re-arm. Now the question is, do the Europeans fold or double down on support for Ukraine and accelerate the process of making the US irrelevant
Trump doesn’t want negotiations, he wants Zelenskyy to do as he says which will ultimately gives Putin, the invader of Ukraine, exactly what he wants. This puts Trump, and by extension, all Americans, on the wrong side of history.
We don’t currently have the ability to manufacture shells and bullets on a large enough scale and many weapons systems rely on US components or support and maintenance.
A problem that should've been taken care of years ago!
It makes me so mad, the fact that we have been warning about this for YEARS and nothing was done to strengthen our military!
the thing is, people have warned about our over-reliance on the US for YEARS!!
Our politicians where aware of a possible trump win and what it ment for us, but they did little to nothing...
This ought to be the final nail in the Ukraine-US relation. Zelenskyy needs to move far away from Felon.
Make a mineral deal with China in exchange for China to pressure Putin into a ceasefire
I’m honestly curious who the sides will be. I know who trump is siding with, but I don’t think our military/public is ready yet to fight and die *with* Russia/China and against the EU
Is this even news after Friday? It's sad, depressing and totally predictable.
The Biden administration managed to somehow sell Mike Johnson on aid for Ukraine. I hope he'll like his new life as a Russian.
Do they still not realize that Russia is literally the invading country? What can Ukraine do if not fight back till Russia goes home… surrender? Tell the us government to F off Ukraine, never surrender!! Don’t make our mistake surrendering your government to Russia.
The EU should release all $198 billion in Russian frozen assets they have control over now. Make so many fucking weapons every person in Europe has 10 fucking FPV drones with explosives and make all of Russia a smoldering ash pile.
From what I understand, it’s $300 billion in total. A lot of the sum is not controlled by the US authoritarian regime so they wouldn’t be able to return them to Putin.
As long as Felon 45 is in office, America will be held hostage for his indiscretions. His neglect to uphold an agreement made with Ukraine in the 90’s, should trigger charges for war crimes.
Trump was impeached in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress after having frozen $400 million in military aid to Ukraine in an attempt to pressure the country to announce an investigation into then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Americans voted to sideline Dems for the next two years. And we will pay a steep price for that choice. But Trump's voters, by demographics, stand to lose the most.
There will be no more elections, if you don't fight him now. Take a lesson from Europe about fascism, we know this one - your window of opportunity is closing fast!
Sadly, Republicans in Congress will not do that.
There's been plenty of illegal acts that could've put Trump in prison but DOJ and judicial system failed to uphold the rule of law. Jack Smith gave us the best chance but voters chose a felon for president,
so he got rewarded instead.
We the real people need to keep the squeeze on the Oligarchs profits, troll every Republican lawmaker on Capitol Hill, and hope like hell our military will stand down on any orders for Marshal Law by the imbecile in chief. And lastly support our allies in Europe as they need to take out Putin.
Comments
Because they won't surrender to Hitler.
Americans see this for what it is. There will never be enough rightwing propaganda to make us not see. Republicans are fascists.

This time it was to get putin to allow trump to build a hotel in russia.
At the expense of Ukrainian lives.
trump does nothing unless it benefits his pocket.
Trump is a cancer.
The quiet secret: Russia is on the brink and could not withstand the full force of the combined EU militaries.
It would be brutal, but it would depose Putin.
And our military will never side with the Russians. There would be a coup.
What we saw was a mob shakedown that blew up in their faces.
Once he secured the stolen riches through extortion, he would just treat Ukraine like he treated the plumbers of his properties. Never meet his part.

Anybody could post this stuff

EU has pledged to help Ukraine, so I don't think Zelensky will see a dime more from the US.
Repubs will pocket this money.
lol kidding, we said he’d only pressure Ukraine when it was announced.

Who cares, this has no effect, the EU will support Ukraine no matter what!

Don't worry Ukraine, the EU has your back! 🇪🇺🇺🇦

He’s frozen Ukraine aid again.
Impeach him.
