He might. He might not.

Seems to me POTUS is expending a lot of political capital on this and the Epstein scandal. Either could result in political catastrophe.

Other than a few that claim to be conservative, I wonder if anyone here that voted for Trump wanted another ‘forever war’.

The sources indicated the new funding could be intended to send a message to Russia, which has pounded Ukraine with drone and missile attacks in recent days.

Trump wants a deal to end the war in Ukraine.

Putin is not interested in a ceasefire.

This is NOT transparency!

Let’s get out of this Mr. President, right now!

“Trump wants a deal to end the war in Ukraine.”

The question is: Why is it so important to him? Why not just walk away?

This is a message to Russia. One has to watch what Trump does not necessarily what he says.

No. Has he settled in and decided that the MAGA base does not matter any longer?

Ok folks. Economy of scale issue. We need our depleted stockpiles of Patriot missiles, and all other ordinances needed for global security as it pertains to American national interest.

Adding a hundred thousand Patriot missiles to a defense contract already producing a hundred thousand, certainly brings down the cost per unit produced.

No Patriot defensive missile stocks equals American boots on the ground as deterrence. I'll take the defensive missile production every time.

Because he's the President of the United States.

And we do not live in the 19th Century where we are protected by two great oceans.

The war is Biden's mess so he's not happy about it. But he's handling it.

Considering the source of this, I will wait and see.

I think leftists would like a big pile on at this moment.

Maybe. Could be why he and Linseed are hanging out together.

I don’t remember President Trump advocating further commitment into a European war of attrition that Biden and Obama provoked, but Perhaps it’s a winning political strategy? /s
