WSJ Editorial Board: “Congress is preoccupied with the Nov. 3 election, but Mr. Trump may not appreciate the anger he’s courting if he keeps aiding Mr. Putin. When the election is over there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests” wsj.com/opinion/to-russia-wi…

True about history, but it's an accurate judgment of Putin. Trump doesn't care about the West or US interests, or if Russia destroys them, as long as it's profitable to him, and Putin can do that. Calling it a misjudgment provides undeserved cover.
There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.

Sanctions relief will continue. I think the diesel deal and the move regarding the Lindsey Graham Act are not the end of it. Unfortunately. It’s unfortunate because we all had great respect for Lindsey. He devoted his life to America. We had an excellent relationship with him. And shortly before the tragedy, Lindsey was in Ukraine. He always supported us very strongly and pushed for as much assistance to Ukraine as possible. It’s difficult without him, I’ll be honest. I want to thank both Democrats and Republicans who supported his bill. That was a major victory: this truly bipartisan support. And now, the decision to undo all of this, to block all of it, seems wrong to me. And it definitely helps only the Russians. It only fuels their satisfaction and their desire to keep killing people. This certainly does not stop the war. From answers to journalists’ questions. (1/3)

BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just met with all of Europe's leaders. Look at the reception he receives. Donald Trump would never.

🎯 Tone-policing Zelenskyy, or any Ukrainian, while their people are in their 5th year of being murdered by Russia is revolting. If Trump doesn’t want to be criticized for siding with Putin, he can stop siding with Putin. Appeasing and flattering him has failed. Pick a side.
By making it clear to people like you that Trump is no friend of Ukraine, and is giving relief not just to the Russians, but the Iranians as well who are armed and supported by our own money now. People like you give Trump cover “he’s just getting bad advice (like he’s some helpless child)” Or “ya but Biden….” Clearly you don’t get it. And you don’t understand that history will not forget. There will be a special place in history for those who knew better, but desperately tried to stay in MAGAs good graces.

Trump supports the Dictator Putin and opposes Ukraine who wants our freedom and Independence. Ukraine loves America freedoms. Putin hates it. Why does Trump love Putin?

Trump has done a fantastic job in demonstrating to allies, enemies, and customers that American defense systems are as unreliable as its political systems.
Aspiring European competitor to Starlink, Eutelsat, soars on the news of U.S. throttling access for Ukraine. Investors expect European defense billions to be diverted from U.S. companies, and SpaceX in particular.

Well-known Ukrainian military aerial reconnaissance specialist Oleksandr "Serg Marco" Karpiuk writes on Facebook: "...Starlink is a civilian communications system. And SpaceX is responsible for its civilian use. Standard Starlink terminals currently have a default speed limit of 22 m/s. To enable flight at speeds above 22 m/s, Ukraine signed contracts for Starshield, which is overseen by the Pentagon. This is already a military system, with Starlink terminals that offer greater functionality, although the accounts are considerably more expensive. And it was the Pentagon that did two things in a single day: restricted intelligence sharing and changed the parameters of Starshield accounts. This was a decision by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth. Clearly on Trump's orders...." Maybe this is the key to understanding what exactly happened.

Trump administration trying to make socialism great again—except that it was never great.
According to the new @CatoInstitute Government Ownership Dashboard, the Trump admin has done 35 equity-stake deals since last June. Prior to that, US equity deals were unheard of in non-crisis times. You can dig into each one here: cato.org/restoring-free-ente… #CatoRFE @Cato_RFE

You can absolutely be both pro-America and pro-Ukraine. But you can’t be both pro-America and pro-Russia. It’s one or the other.

It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.
The Trump/Putin deal gets worse. According to reports, the US was also offering $100 billion of frozen assets (that are in the custody of the EU) in exchange for a limited ceasefire. kyivpost.com/post/86720
