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.
Edit: changed source from Bloomberg to Kyiv Independent b/c there’s no paywall and more detail in the story.
So they don’t formally exist and the entire political game is just about whether you choose the good or the bad representatives, and all knowledge and legislation about institutions is liable to be simply ignored without penalty
Even through speaking of theoreticals, I firmly believe that no societal system can ever work if the vast majority of people are shallow and cruel. The closest thing would be a benevolent monarchy, but that benevolent monarch would still need soldiers to enforce rulings, and then some of those enforcers would end up being shallow/cruel, etc…
I mean, yeah, if everyone stopped enforcing laws then there are no laws. It’s not like there is a machine that does it.
