Summary

Donald Trump defended Russia’s massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine that followed his administration’s halt to intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv, saying Putin was “doing what anybody would do.”

Trump told reporters he finds it “easier” to work with Russia than Ukraine, claiming Putin “wants to end the war.”

While threatening vague sanctions against Russia on social media, Trump’s actual actions have targeted Ukraine, including cutting off military supplies and disabling Ukraine’s access to satellite imagery.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered battlefield setbacks as a direct result of these U.S. policy changes.

    Well, you’d have to ask, was there a reason they took Alaska? They might have a good reason. Maybe they think there was something wrong with how we bought it from them. They might feel we took advantage of them. I mean, wouldn’t you sympathize with someone that felt taken advantage of? They’ll have a good reason. Russia wouldn’t do anything on a whim. Not just to enrich themselves or establish a beachhead for the rest of the continental Americas; surely not.

    Of course… even if it were a beachhead… Russia might have a good reason, and we like Russia, they’re good friends. Maybe we should join together in some kind of union…

    PS: If someone was nodding their head along with the above, just know you’re on the wrong side of… well, everything.
