    In an un-fucking-believable move, the Americans stopped sharing intelligence and disabled Starlink’s military services, rendering Ukraine completely defenseless against Russian ballistic missiles just prior to a major attack.

    This coming shortly after the US essentially negated its economic sanctions on Russian diesel and once again pressured Kyiv to unilaterally cease its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, even as Russia ramps up their own attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

    Trump is now publically aiding the Russians in their aggression against Ukraine and Europe

        They didn’t shut down access, just made it so their weapons didn’t work.

        Those are the same thing. Ukraine wasn’t using it to shit post on X.

          You can’t think of another way a country would need internet access other than high speed drones and shit posting?

      Even worse that they did it not just without warning, but without even a “hey we shut you off”. Just, system switch cut off.

      And as others have said, not even remotely surprising at this point.

    Trump is a traitor. He should be treated as such.

    I really hope the Ukrainians can continue winning the war without it.

      Trump is a traitor, and he is insane and a liar and corrupt and has dementia.
      But other than that, everything is fine. 🤥 🤡

    If the American government reacts like this, then it sure shows how Ukraine is winning.

      People died because of this. Why would mocking his clothing even be a blip in comparison?

        Because they were withholding approved military funding solely because he didn’t wear a suit…and all in attendance were mocking him because of it.

          They were withholding funding because they are Russian compromised fascists who support Hitlerian invasions of neighboring countries. The complaint about his attire was just the lie of the day.

      He ate shit and humiliated himself in front of the whole world on the off chance he could still get some benefit for Ukraine. This means he’s given up on them.

    Using the word “betrayed” implies he trusted him in the first place, which I strongly doubt.

    Everyone is acting as if this hasn’t been prepared for and doesn’t have contingency. Still a betrayal, but an expected one by political and military leaders.

    Online commentators aren’t the only people who are able to foresee this

    The magas keep betraying, it’s their thing, and even Bush said don’t get fooled so many times. I really want putin to leave and stay in existing lands, has plenty so stop killing all these people and all the suffering. Stop the dictator bs and could have had a much better economy and quality of life for people there if he did the right things, followed the Nordic models. Estonia and others have advanced with their freedom from the unhealthy controlling ways and putin could have done all that too, but no, doubled down on toxic systems and scapegoat minorities. Same horrible policies always bring horrible results for the majority, but the wealthy benefit. The wealthy and powerful protect their benefits and privileges at the expense of the many as we can see over and over in history.
