U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.

A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.

    Gaza and Ukraine are 2 totally different cases, using one to assess the other makes no sense

    Yes it does because what the government is doing is lying to the public

    Look at the evidence

      So you’re saying that as Biden was lying about his efforts to stop the massacre at Gaza so that he would not piss too many of the dems voters, Trump pretends to be a traitor working for Russia so that he wouldn’t piss too much… Russia sympathizers in his base??

      You realize that doesn’t make the slightest sense?

        That’s exactly what happened. Are you aware that the government lies to the public on a daily basis?

        Trump pretends to be a traitor working for Russia so that he wouldn’t piss too much… Russia sympathizers in his base??

        The government put up shows to manipulate and brainwash the public. It may look like the current situation doesn’t make sense but everything is going according to the plan. Trump is working as the perfect scapegoat for all problems and everyone is blaming him instead of putting the finger at the corrupted and rigged as fuck system. Next elections the red and blue party will win again.

          You’re forcing your conclusion on facts that don’t align with them. Yes, Biden lied, I literally wrote that, no need to try to further convince me. And it’s no well kept secret why: the dems would do nothing to upset their donors, and some high profile donors support Netanyahu. There is nothing to read in that.

          There is no logic in your claim about Trump whatsoever, but you’re so up in “government lie all the time” that you invent conspiracy where there is none.

          Yes, Trump lies. if you ask him, he works for USA’s and its citizens best interests. And the truth is he’s working for himself, and at present that means doing Putin’s bidding. And if you make that hypothesis, everything he does make perfect sense.

          There is no need to imagine a more complex scheme. None of these people are geniuses. They are normal humans (well… Trump is the exception, he’s abnormally stupid and unhinged) and their plans are never that deep.

          And yes, next elections (if there are…), it will be red vs blue again, not because of a complex scheme with Russia, but because most of the medias belong to oligarchs and will shoot down any outlier, and because the system was made for a 2 parties alternance. None of that has anything to do with Trump’s behavior, and would he support Ukraine instead of Russia, it would be just the same. Evidence: Biden supported Ukraine. Did that change the blue vs red thing?

            If someone you know or you neighbor were to lie about murdering someone or putting a camera that spy on you 24/24 would you trust anything they says?

            If the government lies systematically there are big conclusions to make that align the bullshit together.

            There is no need to imagine a more complex scheme. None of these people are geniuses. They are normal humans (well… Trump is the exception, he’s abnormally stupid and unhinged) and their plans are never that deep.

            Look at it from another point of view, they are not geniuses they spend trillions on it. Again look at global surveillance, if someone would have made a claim about it before 2010 they would have been taken for crazy.
