US is Russia ally and will do nothing to push Russia for peace. In the contrary: they will protect Russia, so they will not loose and will push Ukraine to give up. US simply has chosen the other side.

… because …

j-olynch.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not a single policy argument in favor of any of this, either.

brennick.bsky.social•6 days ago

I wonder when they start supplying Russia? End of the month?

johnaharrison.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well, in fairness, Trump works for Putin...

motosunburn.bsky.social•6 days ago

The US wants peace, Russia wants peace, Ukraine wants to keep on fighting by demanding ever more from its backers, despite losing the fight and running out of men. This could have been ended 3 years ago except the US and its allies talked them out of it. Would neutrality have been so awful?

lesleya.bsky.social•6 days ago

If Russia really wants peace it just needs to leave Ukraine.

LOL.

lizlamb.bsky.social•6 days ago

Selling them to Russia no doubt!

Important step on the way to changing sides to support Russia instead with weapons

Plus, the incoming lifting of sanctions on Russia.

Has there ever been a more enfeebled Sec of State? “Marco Rubio in recent weeks signed a waiver to exempt Ukraine from the ban Trump imposed on foreign assistance, but senior State Dept official Peter Marocco hasn’t sent a required letter to the Pentagon”

drleostrauss.bsky.social•5 days ago

Under dual command authority, the Zampolit has to agree.

mpinga.bsky.social•6 days ago

…and after such a long and impactful Senate career…

mrtpsm.bsky.social•5 days ago

Colin Powell has entered the chat, lol.

jackacid.bsky.social•6 days ago

He’s not nearly as enfeebled as the geriatric Democratic Party.

1santa-mozzarella.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not even smart form the Defense Industrial Base point of view.

And we need that base growing anyhow near/close future

skyking11176.bsky.social•5 days ago

‘Liddle Marco’, as Trump called him in the 2016 primaries. Chris Christie was right to blow him out of the water at one of the debates.

havelockvetinari.bsky.social•6 days ago

Darned deep state.

jimbo--02.bsky.social•6 days ago

"Rubio “knows the knives are out for him,” one of the people close to the secretary said. “He knows that [Grenell] is gunning for his job and will go to Trump and demand he fires Marco the first time he says anything that contradicts the boss.”"

Why, why, why would anyone volunteer to work for this narcissist. You must know he'll throw you under a bus.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's pretty clear that Trump (and Vance) just want an alliance with Russia. The real question now is to what extent GOP Senators and representatives are willing to humiliate themselves.

rautayrtti.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think the behaviour of the GOP over the last 9 years has shown it has absolutely no limit to its desire for self humiliation.

moodystarbuck.bsky.social•6 days ago

I love how he is not even trying to hide it anymore, that he is actually a Russian asset.
No other explanation even makes sense at this point.

adibug12.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why in the hell is our military continuing to let a traitor and Russian asset run our country???? Someone with some power needs to stop him and arrest him as a traitor to the United States.

kumasarrk.bsky.social•6 days ago

UK needs to get out of its special relationship syndrome and smell the coffee...

callistosolo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Starmer is playing the game. He knows the special relationship is dead in the water.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•6 days ago

If he does stop aid, state visit needs to be cancelled.

callistosolo.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't have the words to express the level of contempt I feel for trump and his pathetic, scurrying coterie of sycophants.

skywomble.bsky.social•6 days ago

Stop arming Israel

dom-ma.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why would the US do anything to pressure Russia? The Russian mob took control of the White House.

If you haven’t worked this out yet, the next 4 years are going to absolutely bewilder you.

hughjc21.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ffs

julialamberth.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump & GOP were always going to stop arms to Ukraine - there’s your “sorting it 24hrs” solution. I think we overthink Trump. He basically does what he says, despite our incredulity

lexaproletarian.bsky.social•6 days ago

money laundering operation being sunset.

gebnor.bsky.social•6 days ago

...and will soon be helping Russia

gaudemy.nafofellas.com•6 days ago

Considering that every single cent of those weapon sales went directly to US weapon manufacturers I wonder how this could concern US industry

paulboldrin.bsky.social•6 days ago

They've also done a great job convincing Europe to develop its own weapons systems so as not to rely on the US defence industry.

thetrevelyan.bsky.social•5 days ago

United States are compromised.

It's not an opinion, conspiracy theory or possible scenario. It's a fact.

Russia is winning the cold war. It's now up to ordinary Americans what to do with the situation.

And I don't think they'll do anything

j19-aw.bsky.social•6 days ago

Russia. Russia. Russia.
Who knew it wasn't a hoax? 🤷‍♀️

zimses.bsky.social•5 days ago

Copenhagen calling 3. Trump says the US has donated more to Ukraine than Europe. A blatant lie, check the Kiel Institute. And by the way: Global warming is happening. More so know.

zimses.bsky.social•5 days ago

Copenhagen calling 2. Europe now has to accelerate arming. The question is, further building our military industry or buying from the US? We have been buying a lot from the US, but can we trust you in the future for spare parts, restrictions etc. ? So the US industry will feel reluctance from here.

zimses.bsky.social•5 days ago

Copenhagen calling. Europe has not closed ranks in this. Hungary and Slovakia are Putin friendly, and forgetting their own 1956 and 1968 experience. We will have a fight in Europe about how much help and how, but we will help. Denmark remembers WW2, and helping US in Iraq and Afghanistan.

simonbeechinor.bsky.social•6 days ago

Blimey...watch out S.Korea, Japan, Philippines etc., etc., now you know how the Americans will treat you!

chadomir.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yup. Kremlin rules DC. Pathetic

adzpop.bsky.social•6 days ago

Give it a couple of months and we'll see the US military fighting alongside their North Korea allies in defence of Russia.

I am afraid your so called government are Russian stooges, traitors to the constitution and founding fathers. A criminal clique who adulate the mass murderer Putin.
