We send NATO money ( maybe money frozen by sanctions on Russian accounts which is yet another escalation of poking the Bear)
NATO buys weapons from us
NATO gives weapons to Zelensky ( or adds them to a NATO loan or EU aid package)
See? Trump did not give weapons to Ukraine and maybe uses confiscated Russian money to fund the deal..
Zelensky still loses war
Ukraine starts drafting women by September
President Trump told Putin to end the invasion. Putin responded by giving President Trump the middle finger. If you’re for Putin, you’re supporting the enemy.

Someone is advising Trump that feeding weapons to Zelensky will wear down the Russians and force them to seek a settlement
“Someone is advising Trump that feeding weapons to Zelensky will wear down the Russians and force them to seek a settlement”
Probably Kellogg and Graham. We tried that experiment for 3 YEARS, and other than one push near the start of the war, it’s been nothing but slow, steady, Russian progress.
One would think that Trump sees that too.
Do those pictures of Putin, shirtless, on horseback turn you on too, or is it just pictures of Putin in his ‘business suit’...hrrrr?
Further confirmation that the uniparty is a WAR PARTY.
A nothing unites a WAR PARTY like war profiteering.
Apparently not
He’s still citing Ukrainian reports about heavy Russian casualties
President Trump has said that he will have a major announcement about Russia tomorrow (Monday, 14 July).
Coincidentally, the NATO Secretary General will be on hand at the White House that day.
Also, a lot has come out in recent days about the future of American weapons supply to Ukraine. NATO, and NATO members like Germany and Norway, have agreed to fund American weapons for Ukraine. The US Defense Authorization for FY 2026 includes increased USAI funding for weapons provision to Ukraine. And of course, President Trump has come right out and said that we need to send weapons to Ukraine.
Statements from all the parties involved indicate that the White House and bi-partisan leadership in the Legislature have agreed to the details of the proposed Bone-Crushing Sanctions Bill against Russia (SB 1241). The Senate is reported to be taking up that bill in the coming week, and it is expected to sail through with overwhelming support (82 Senators have signed on as co-sponsors).
With the assistance of the Saudis, the oil supply situation has been prepared to displace Russian exports, so that the Bone-Crushing Sanctions could be emplaced without a crisis spike in oil prices.
It is pretty clear what is coming, and that Putin has refused his chance to get out of his mess in Ukraine the easy way, and now stick time is coming - Trump Style.
“do you REALLY think that China will let Russia lose, knowing that they’re next?”
We will likely soon see how China handles the Bone-Crushing Secondary Sanctions on buyers of Russian oil. The are the main buyer.

It will probably work out about as well as those ‘oil price caps’...which means not at all.
“It will probably work out about as well as those ‘oil price caps”
I guess that you haven’t noticed Russia’s declining oil export revenues, and the sharp discount that it’s main Urals grade of oil sells for, relative to the Brent benchmark. At $52 a barrel, it is selling about $18 below Brent, vs. near parity before the price cap. Transportation expenses for Russian oil exports were also raised significantly by the price caps, further reducing their profit.
Price caps have been costing Russia a fortune. They have been depleting their financial reserves, and loading their banks with increasingly bad debt.
Depending on how President Trump chooses to impose the Bone-Crushing Sanctions, they could produce a near immediate and effectively complete halt to Russian oil exports, forcing well shutdowns - faster and further than what led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Really, only China and India need to be persuaded to buy oil from other available suppliers, rather than Russia, and it is game over for Russia’s economy and Government finances. Neither (especially not China) could afford 500% tariffs from the USA. The Saudis have the spare capacity to fill their tankers for them, instead of Russia, at market rates.
President Trump knows what he is doing, and if he wants to force Putin to call off his invasion, President Trump has the cards.
If the U.S. can sell weapons to NATO to supply the Ukraine, fine.
As long as the U.S. isn’t funding it. We can’t afford it.

Ukies decided to give major amounts of land to achieve Victory.
How about the REAL PRICE of Urals oil, along with a link.
>>”More blood on American hands?”
The blood is on Putin’s hands (and Ukrain’s, although they didn’t choose to be invaded. But I suppose they could have just surrendered).
