• Ukraine is getting the upper hand against Russian invasion with help from allies (including Biden Admin)

Trump Admin enters the chat:

  • Calls Zelensky a dictator
  • Says Ukraine “shouldn’t have started the war”
  • Humiliates Zelensky before the world in Oval Office
  • Lies about Europe sending less aid than the US towards Ukraine
  • Profits by reinvesting a big percentage of the war aid in replenishing its own arsenal from donating nearly defunct weapons and replacing them with cutting edge gear, but claims it’s being taken advantage of
  • Begins talks with Russia without Ukraine present
  • Undermines Zelensky by attempting to manipulate his political opposition behind the scenes
  • Says Ukraine better be “ready to lose some land”
  • Implies they could shut off starlink support “if they wanted to”
  • Cuts off aid packages and strategic intel, costing Ukraine their bargaining chip in Kursk
  • Starts a trade war with the whole planet, applying tariffs on everyone except for Russia and its allies
  • Attempts to extort Ukraine for 50% of its minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing
  • Signals Russia that the US is ready to cozy up to them and lift sanctions
  • Bails on Ukraine after realizing “this is harder than it seemed”

Boy, what went wrong? They did everything right since they took office. /s /s /s

    No it didn’t. Europe ponied up mostly cash to keep the country running while the US donated arms and intelligence because they had more of it but total value Europe was ahead.
