U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.

A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.

      I’m pretty sure Trump has proven every single tankie argument about the US.

        Except that whole thing about Dems being just as bad, which is like 90% of tankie arguments about the US.

          Trump treats white people like Obama treated Arabs.

      It’s funny how much the tankies have in common with the liberal socialists. If only they weren’t so darn argumentative.
