Ukraine ping

It’s possible Trump has given Ukraine more equipment on the down low. Biden used to have these splashy news conferences about how much money and equipment he was releasing from an aid budget approved a while back, pump it up like it was new money. Then Ukraine would wait for months and never see any of it. Uncle Sam has a ton of pre-positioned equipment and ammo in Europe that can simply be shipped across the border. Biden simply chose not to. Perhaps Trump has turned that spigot on.

Why on earth would Trump turn "that spigot on" when Zelensky just said more than $100bn dollars is missing?

Biden’s objective wasn’t to give Ukraine sufficient military support. Biden’s objective was to string out the aid in as many installments as possible so he and his cronies could skim off of each one. It will soon be exposed how much was skimmed by the right people. When Trump makes a move, he plays to win, and Trump doesn’t want Ukraine to lose the war on his watch. Trump has said he can negotiate an end to the war, and upping the supplies to Ukraine is his big bargaining chip.

It's just as possible you could fly if you climbed on the roof of your house and flapped your arms, too.

Trump is dismantling the CIA, its funding mechanism and globalism while floating peace plans that will force Ukraine to concede all annexed territory to Russia.

The only question at this point is: How are you going to earn living now that you won't be getting a paycheck through USAID funding?
