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.

    If someone you know or you neighbor were to lie about murdering someone or putting a camera that spy on you 24/24 would you trust anything they says?

    If the government lies systematically there are big conclusions to make that align the bullshit together.

    There is no need to imagine a more complex scheme. None of these people are geniuses. They are normal humans (well… Trump is the exception, he’s abnormally stupid and unhinged) and their plans are never that deep.

    Look at it from another point of view, they are not geniuses they spend trillions on it. Again look at global surveillance, if someone would have made a claim about it before 2010 they would have been taken for crazy.
