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!

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

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.

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

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

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

From what I’m gathering he’s forcig NATO to pay for US contributions out of USA contractural agreements with NATO.

Ergo basically focing NATO to pay for it.

Who are these masked multiple "diplomats?"

They never say who gave them the information.

I believe they truly are trying to get us to go after him. Without a doubt in mind.

Since when does CBS qualify as a respectable news source?

The mainstream media lap dogs is what they all are.

Come on. We have to wait until it's verified by trustworthy sources.

He has done everything right and pressured both sides. Putin took advantage of that.
Trump made it clear he would come down on either side if they don’t make peace.
Simple reality. I will support whatever decision he makes.

It’s amazing how many people are incredulous that, Trump could finally do what’s right for Ukraine.

So many FR members tearing up because Ukraine is being defended and Putin might not get his way.

If Putin was in the right, Trump would not even be considering aiding Ukraine in any way. Putin sends very clear messages that he’s not going to negotiate and that his goals and ambitions are to take Ukraine, completely.

Trump will be named Biden the 2nd, by the FR members who want Ukraine to become part of Putin’s Russia.

Giving money to Ukraine is not going to win any support from MAGA people.

Letting Bondi slide on the Epstein files is not going to win any support from MAGA people.

Disrespecting Dan Bongino is not going to win any support from MAGA people.

Three strikes, you're out.

Sending more weapons to Ukraine won’t end the war. Sending thee right message to Putin might.

I’m not sure who Trump is trusting.

It appears to be folk who have a record proving that they should never be trusted in matters which squander our military might half way around the world.

We have likely spent a half a trillion and what do we have to show for it, and ungrateful comedian turned dictator who has not shown a ounce of respect to Trump or the taxpayers supporting this unwinnable war.

I’ve seen this movie before.

It’s like Groundhog Day.

All this will do is to postpone the eventual surrender. At the cost of many more lives and Billions of dollars.
