U.S. President Donald Trump directed the U.S. to pause all assistance to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in peace talks with Russia.
The decision appears to halt arms deliveries approved under the Biden administration, but it was not clear whether deliveries of ammunition for weapons systems already in Ukraine would be affected.
Ukraine, which depends heavily on foreign help to hold back the Russian invasion that began on Feb. 24 2022, has feared that aid could be stopped since Trump took office.
This play, yelling a Zelensky, with the Vice-Dachshund yapping alongside him is all a perception management game to garner base support for a thing they intended to do anyway.
It’s working too. Republicans do this loyalty thing where they all stand in a straight line and repeat the mantras Shapiro and company tell them to while DEMs don’t even like one another and constantly argue and gate keep in house as to what liberal means while rolling over and doing nothing effective. Though not in unity, never that.
Memes are even rounding now labeling Zelensky a dangerous dictator. The narrative is: Z attacked innocent Russians living in Ukraine thus inciting the Russian attack, to defend them, thus bringing the Russian invasion in on himself. Pure bullshit, but it’s being repeated, and it’s sticking, in party.
Again, perception management that doubles in laying groundwork for the second item. Trump WANTS to play with the biggest war chest on the planet, like he played in the cab of the construction vehicle on live television. Last go he was surrounded by people who said no or nodded yes while doing nothing. This go, we are all in serious trouble. War makes money, especially for President Elon Musk, so I will be surprised if it’s not already being planned.
It’s all a game. Drama. Zelensky didn’t need to cross the globe for a conversation, only to be there on the stage as planned for the drama. Don’t believe him. DONT believe him when he says Zelenskys behavior at the meeting lost him his funding. Ukraine was already dropped, this was just a dramatization for effect.
And the wobbly creation of a potential patsy when Trump starts WW3.
