Summary
Donald Trump has privately stated that a minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine is no longer enough to restart military aid and intelligence sharing.
He demands concessions from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, including territorial compromises with Russia and movement toward elections or stepping down.
Amid increased Russian attacks, Republicans are pressuring the White House to resume support. The U.S. continues providing defensive intelligence but not targeting data.
European allies are filling intelligence gaps, but delays benefit Russia.
Basically, he’s just going to keep moving the goal post.
He is just as trustworthy as his boss, Putin.
None of Trump’s swallowers can defend the pause in counterintelligence sharing. It’s not like the US suddenly stopped gathering intel. It doesn’t cost taxpayers anything for us to share it. There’s absolutely no good reason other than to hamstring Ukraine.
Just like with his stupid trade war with Canada. The chaos is the point
