President Trump’s decision this week to pause military assistance and intelligence sharing to Ukraine could reorder the battlefield, either halting the fight or potentially giving Russia a decisive advantage.

Why support Ukraine when it’s Russia’s ruling class the Republican Party of Trump are modeling for America’s future. It’s the exact system the heritage foundation and the Republican Party of Trump are trying to make happen the only way it could, fast.
Since trump lives in the past, he still thinks Russia is all powerful. Ukraine has proven they are not. Russia should have been able to walk in and capture Ukraine but they were weak. Granted Ukraine had a lot of help, but Zelensky is the one trump should admire.
Trump’s stupidity and sadism will allow Putin to murder more Ukrainians, a genocidal lust that has no rational reason other than Trump’s endless pettiness and pique that Zelensky exposed Trump extortion techniques, getting Trump impeached. The first time.
Trump is Putin’s bitch. And a traitor. I will never forgive the willfully ignorant, selfish, racist, misogynistic, and greedy voters who returned this moron to the Oval.
Why will it halt the fight? Russia is the aggressor. The only way Ukraine can stop the fight is to capitulate. Your statement makes no logical sense within the factual context of this war. I’d love an answer but I won’t hold my breath!
In a parallel universe, this turns out to be a super smart communication scam. Like everything else that Trump says, this is a lie too. Military assistance and intelligence have not been paused. In the utmost secrecy they actually intensified. Eat that Putin!
I know it was sudden, but one of these days y’all are going to get where the rest of us are. Trump (and by proxy the USA) is not on the side of Ukraine anymore. Stop pretending. We are the axis, motherfuckers.
This administration continues to betray our embattled ally and victim of aggression, Ukraine. It's painful to admit but undeniable that Trump's America cannot be trusted. Good luck saying "leader of the free world" with a straight face these days.
Why would we stop assisting a country that was attacked by Putin, unless Trump was working for Putin? If Trump wants this war stopped all he has to do is tell Russia to get out of Ukraine and give their land back to them. You don’t stop it by telling the victim to stop fighting and surrender.
NATO must realize by now that any intelligence possessed by America doesn’t come from within the White House.
Seriously - America must now be considered a giant intelligence leak, and intelligence they hold about Russia should be considered as suspect or unreliable.
Does "winning" mean losing nearly 2/3 of the territory your army captured in the opening days of the invasion? Losing on average over 1200 soldiers per day to injury or death? Hell of a way to win.
Not sure where your points are coming from but Ukraine has lost more territory, is suffering from a shortage of manpower and artillery, their military production far outpaces the aid Ukraine is getting from western countries. Russia has superior tech, extra manpower from N Korea, drones from Iran
The maps in this article, which is much more recent than most of yours shows that that lines have only been changing very slowly since Nov 2022. Many of these same outlets predicted that Ukraine would fall in ‘weeks’ after the initial invasion.
Indeed it is. And as you pointed out is reasonably bleak if the US both withdraws military support and rescinds sanctions against Russia. The sanctions are the important bit right now to a certain extent.
However Ukraine hasn’t lost, if we define loss as total occupation by Russia.
Can you supply a source maybe more focused on military analysis? Russia "winning" seems wild given that theyve been heavily pushed back, and the recent gains are quite small and slow. They are meaningful for negotiation but in context not that large
Ukraine has parity in artillery and domestic drone production has caught up with the Russians after an earlier deficit. Which is why the pace of advance has completely slowed. That and russia doesnt have the men or apcs
Help me understand. Do you want Ukraine to stop fighting? Does Ukraine not being on the same side as the US (anymore) change anything for you?
I don't think I'm alone in thinking the events of the past week helped push Ukraine into a position closer to that of Palestine than it previously was.
Russia was winning anyway a year. Has nothing to do with what I want to happen but I do think that many don’t want to face the truth.
I provided 4 credible sources. That’s more than enough
I'm not trying to be flippant but I honestly don't understand why it's okay to say that Ukraine should surrender when we are proud of Palestine for not surrendering.
Unfortunately, this is already happening. As soon as the Ukrainians began to win tactical victories in certain areas, Trump blocked intelligence and canceled military aid because he hadn't been kissed on the hand. The world went crazy.
It's hard to imagine. We are now living in an America where US intelligence operations become aware of an impending Russian attack against Ukraine that might level cities and kill thousands and just sit there in silence. This is beyond shameful. What have we become?
So much for 1994 - if you give up your nuclear weapons Ukraine, the US will defend your sovereignty. Don’t remember any rider saying “if you let exploit your minerals”. Maybe Ukraine should’ve just kept them - that’s the message, never trust America.
In other news, President Trump's decision to campaign on an explicit promise of dictatorship was less alarming than Biden's gaffes, according to @nytimes.com
What is “reorder”? Stop playing stupid word game. Stop pretending.
You actually mean the wannabe dictator exploits Ukrainian, bait & switch military aids, steals their rare mineral without security guarantees, slice & dice Ukraine resources for war criminal Putin, ignores NATO and EU allies.
Europe here. Your administration and limited electorate connivance is dumping Ukraine a surrender they and we don’t want. Putin should feel failure. You’re giving him success. The wide ocean Zelenskyy told you about is correct. Be ready.
Trump disabled critical missile systems we sent Ukraine and stopped providing satellite warnings of incoming drones and missiles. We are all Russians now because it is shameful to be an Amercan under Trump.

I wonder how much more Putin asked for just to sit at the table with Ukraine
- doesn’t mean he’ll sign a ceasefire or negotiate peace, just that he’ll show up
It is the responsibility of USA to provide security for Ukraine. #Ukraine #usa
And, yet, America sleepwalks into fascism.
WAKE UP…PLEASE!!
Enjoy

Yeah, I’ve heard that one before, always from ruskie lovers. Is that you?
Is that not you?

Trump has effectively given Putin an advantage
America is Back?
🙄🙄🙄
And I 💯 agree with the gentle lady from Texas who said this.
@repjasmine.bsky.social
Why would we do this?
It’s one thing to do nothing. It’s completely another to hamstring them.
Tell me again how we’re not allies with Russia?
1. "Donald Trump 'recruited by KGB in 80s and even has codename', claims former Soviet spy".
2. Aaron Rupar citing Chris Murphy: "It is absolutely shameful what's happening right now. The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin."
Bluesky Mod calls the actual links "spam".

"I will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours" = I will join the dictator in destroying Ukraine and US democracy.
