The Trump administration has reportedly paused all military aid to Ukraine.

The decision, reported by Bloomberg News, comes after a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday descended into chaos, the latest in a larger fraying of the U.S.-Ukraine alliance.

The president is reportedly reviewing whether Zelensky is willing to engage in good-faith efforts at making peace with Russia, a Defense Department official told the outlet.

    So you agree nukes are great deterrent. Let’s pass some to Ukraine. In fact maybe for them mineral rights. If trump wants a steep price it should be worth it. And no I don’t even think Russia has functioning nukes based on their performance in Ukraine.

    Well Russia hasn’t respected any cease fire so I doubt they respect anything that isn’t backed up with Ukraine joining nato or nukes.

      In other words you want to gamble on millions, or possibly billions of lives.

      I’d be up for it but only if you were gambling on your own life and loves of your friends/family/etc., not on my.

        Lives are being gambled and lost daily right now. Russia has lost 850,000 troops. No one cared about their lives. They had family, friends, etc. That’s why war is bad. That fear of upping the Ante is why Russia invaded. Pass Ukraine some nukes and see if they back off long enough to get real protection. Nuke their own border or something.
