For several years there has been a mash-up between Ukraine and Russia and of course the US and most of the western world has been helping Ukraine as much as possible….but it looks like that is about to change.
In the works Donny is playing footsie with Putin….and that issue will limit Ukraine’s effectiveness to respond to the attacks by Russia.
Ukraine is just about out of the Patriot missiles it needs to defend itself from Russian attacks, and officials on Monday said they’ve located the bottleneck. The Trump administration has not approved the next deliveries, a delay that applies not only to missiles coming from the US, but those going to Ukraine from other nations—transfers that require Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s approval because the missiles are made by US companies. The officials said Hegseth has not officially blocked the transfers but has not taken the necessary steps to allow them, either, the Washington Post reports.
It’s another of the US-inflicted setbacks for Ukraine, which have included President Trump backing off congressionally approved sanctions on Russia and a deal to allow Russia’s sale of diesel fuel. “The Pentagon is delaying the delivery of missiles” already paid for by European countries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday, per AFP, saying all that’s needed is Hegseth’s signature. “The missiles are ready, and they could already be in Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
Does this turn have anything to do with the diesel deal Donny cut with Russia and a relaxing of some sanctions?
I look for Zelenskyy to beat feet to Dc and try to save the weapons deals of the past.
And then there is the proposed upcoming meeting between Putin, Xi and Donny….there cover story is the war with Iran….but I would bet that there is more to it than that.
We have known for years that Donny has this pathetic fascination with Putin and it appears that he is going out of his way to accommodate whatever Putin desires.
Am I looking at this in a wrong way?

Your eyesight is 20/20 as usual my friend. Whatever these three decide looks like a carve up of spheres of influence. And. TRUMP will gift Putin his.
In 1956, the United States failed the courageous people of Hungary when they rose against Soviet tyranny in a desperate struggle for freedom. For years, American broadcasts through Radio Free Europe and political rhetoric had encouraged Eastern Europeans to resist communist oppression, fostering hopes that the United States would support their fight for independence. Yet when Soviet tanks rolled into Budapest and brutally crushed the Hungarian Revolution, America stood aside, offering condemnation and humanitarian assistance but no military intervention. Fearing a nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union, Washington chose caution over action. Thousands of Hungarians died, and countless others fled their homeland. The tragedy remains a painful reminder of the consequences of encouraging a people to fight for liberty without being prepared to defend them when the moment of truth arrives.
