Mr. President, we know you understand that the primary obstacle to peace in Ukraine is Russia’s aggression.
You said you were “disappointed” in the conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, and that you “don’t think he’s looking to stop.”
Putin again insisted he was unwilling to commit to a ceasefire until the “root causes” of the conflict were addressed.
For Vlad, the “root cause” is the existence of Ukraine.
He followed your call with the largest drone and missile strike of the war, killing at least one.
So why, Mr. President, is your administration punishing Ukraine?
The Pentagon has halted the anti-missile and drone weapons needed to protect the civilians of Kyiv. You remember the desperation on the face of the Ukrainian reporter you touchingly spoke to in the Netherlands, her fears for her husband and her family.
Why are we threatening to abandon her?
There is a belief, being pushed by twisted ideologues, that helping Ukraine is somehow hurting the United States, and not in our best interest. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Officials claim we have a weapons shortage, but many of these arms were already allocated — some were already in Poland.
Ukraine is paying for them, partly from seized Russian assets and European grants, a stimulus for our industries to make more.
In fact, our military can use that money — and the intelligence it is gathering from Ukraine’s successful resistance — to make better drones and anti-missile technology.
It builds the foundation of the Golden Dome.
But most importantly, Ukraine’s fate sends a message to the world about America. Russia is not an economic superpower to be unlocked. It is a dying terrorist state. Putin is willing to spend the blood of his people in a last grasp for empire.

Putin screwed up by antagonizing President Trump. How did that go for Iran?

Never Ending War Ping
Antagonizing President Trump didn’t work out for Hamas and Iran. Putin should have been paying attention. FAFO.
President Trump is going to end Putin’s war.

Is your side going to declare war on President Trump on Monday?
February 18th? Catch up, boy.
No.
All I have to do is ask myself...
Is this worth planting one of my sons?
The answer is NO!
No.
What a capital idea! It’s just the type of boondoggle that we really need just about now.
Did President Trump say he is sending American troops to Ukraine? If so, I missed that part.
It will interesting to see how the Putin Admiration Society reacts on Monday. I still think they will declare war on President Trump.
You’re the one that want Trump to provoke WWIII with putin....
So, what safe country are you in, where you think you would not get any fallout?
“from seized Russian assets”
The Russians can confiscate the Russian Federation copyrights and patent rights of US and EU companies in return.
Russia can negotiate military base rights around the globe where drugs that are still under patent in the US are sold at manufacturing cost to host country nationals.
