And so it happened that yesterday (14) US President Donald J. Trump took multiple steps that were widely perceived as against Russia and pro-Ukraine.
To begin with, Trump authorized $10 Billion in military aid for Ukraine in an ingenious formula: NATO (Europeans and Canada – but not the US) will pay for the American weapons.
At the same time, the US president threatened Moscow with harsh secondary sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not reach a peace settlement with Ukraine in 50 days.
[Ukrainian MPs and European officials have complained that Trump ‘gave Putin 50 days to conquer Ukraine’.]
In the runup to this announcement the USAID-media did what they do: published a story with ‘anonymous sources’ saying that during his phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump would have encouraged him to strike missiles deep into Russian territory – including on Moscow.
The Russian side refused to give credence to this report, and today (15) Trump was asked about it.
Trump responded that Zelensky should NOT target Moscow, and added that Putin ‘should agree to a ceasefire deal by a 50-day deadline or sanctions will kick in’.
Reuters reported:
“His comments came after The Financial Times, citing people briefed on discussions, reported on Tuesday that Trump had privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russia.
The newspaper added that Trump asked Zelenskiy whether he could strike Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons.
‘No, he shouldn’t target Moscow’, Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House when asked if Zelenskiy should attack the Russian capital.”
“Asked if he was now on the side of Ukraine, Trump said, ‘I am on nobody’s side’, and then declared he was on ‘humanity’s side’ because ‘I want to stop the killing’.”

I’d bet Zelensky will hit Moscow. The fool.

Who is worse, the criminal who pulls the trigger, or the one who gave the criminal the gun?
Don’t forget how all the mumbo jumbo from Trump about Iran turned out.
Will Moscow get blasted in the end?
Trump to Putin: “Finish him!”
Paul Simon’s hit “50 Ways to bomb your warzone!”
Exactly!
“All the killing needs to stop, so let me give you more weapons to kill some more, and the U.S. taxpayers will gladly shell out a few more $billions for the corrupt eastern European, money laundering country.”
Some people are desperately begging for the nukes to come out.
Funny. POTUS calls Zelinsky, prepared to send ZZZ some loot to bang back at Russia, but POTUS announces somehow that the loot requires a buyer, first.
And, somehow NATO is named as the lucky buyer, but it turns out the USA own$ NATO, because the US is far and away its biggest money contributor.
So POTUS doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO, but NATO is paying the US for loot to prolong the war that POTUS wants STOPPED.
What’s wrong with this picture, or, is it just me? 🥴🤔😖

Me, too.
I’m not happy with this.
At all.
If I were targeting things...I would just aim at Moscow power sub-stations. At this point, maintenance and spare parts are crap...so you could hit 3 or 4 sub-stations and subject a quarter of the city to zero power for a couple of weeks.
Ukraine has already struck with drones many times in Moscow Oblast and Moscow City, even striking the flagpole atop the Moscow Kremlin. Oil export facilities around St. Petersburg (Ust Luga) have also been hit previously.
This month, Ukraine will reportedly begin receiving production of a new class of long range strike weapons, manufactured inside Ukraine.
Naturally, they will test them on targets in Moscow.
Doubt Ukraine will strike civilian targets as russia does everyday, plenty of govt and MIC targets
How dare they attack a flag pole, perhaps Ukraine should just adopt Russian targeting priorities like schools, hospitals, power stations, and apartment buildings 😎
Plenty of legitimate targets in Moscow
Perhaps krill can whip up a new bunch of prayers and gold crosses 😎😎
Its Trump’s war now.
Oh spare us! You're the KING of "mumbo jumbo" with that dopey, mentally lazy, insipid "blog" that you force on everyone here, every Saturday.
When it comes to reading my blog I believe in “freedom of choice” so if you see it posted here just move on to something else.
There’s plenty out there to choose from.
“Who is worse, the criminal who pulls the trigger, or the one who gave the criminal the gun?”
In Russia, Putin has them pushed off balconies.
