Ukrainians call Trump's move to halt vital intel 'pathetic' and 'petty'
The White House is not only pausing shipments of military equipment to the war-torn country, but also intelligence Kyiv uses to stop strikes on civilians.
Summary
Trump has cut off U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine and paused military shipments, leaving civilians vulnerable to Russian attacks.
His team claims it’s a negotiating tactic to push Zelenskyy toward peace, but the move has shocked military experts and drawn outrage in Kyiv.
Ukrainians call it “blackmail” and a “pathetic” attempt to force submission.
Without U.S. intel, Ukraine will struggle to stop Russian strikes on civilians, raising concerns among allies about America’s reliability. Analysts warn Russia will exploit this weakness.
Unfortunately I think it's part of the plan, which is to help Russia as much as possible.
Didn't Americans execute people for less?
It’s why his boy Tuck was making Russian travel guides and love songs leading up to the election. The right has a full chub for Putin.
I mean..... If your only real accomplishment is inheriting huge sums of wealth, it makes a bunch of sense. I personally don't really see the need for Trump to be compromised by Russian intelligence, American oligarchs have always been jealous of the federations kleptocracy.
What could be better for someone like Trump and his cronies than a system where as long as you're loyal you can literally do anything you want?
Have a journalist poking around your business, simply introduce them to the window. A rival business won't sell you their company for nothing? Make a call and have the government do a "corruption investigation". Your company is coming under protest for displacing minority groups....off to jail for subversion.
The Russian Federation is just America in ten years of we don't make a drastic about face. Our oligarchs have been pushing that way for a while, trump is just accelerating the process.
It's not just this one move. Pathetic and petty describes his entire worldview
You'd be irritable, too, if you had to run an entire country while swimming around in shit flooding your adult diaper.
"bitch move"
It’s in his nature to bend over.
See: Elon, Putin.
Petulant. Childish. Vindictive. Churlish.
crazy. scary. spooky. hilarious (not really. more just… so absurd all there is to do is laugh to soothe the pain)
The one bullet Ukraine needed missed.
They could also use one going in Putin's direction
Ukraine definitely should NOT sign any mineral deal with the US at present, unless it includes long term US commitment to military and intelligence support.
American "commitment" to anything is worthless now more than ever. Like giving cash loans to a bombed out drug addict you can only expect pain by penning deals with us.
any deal is unlikely to work out any better than the one made when they denuclearized
Pathetic and blackmail are definitely on brand for Trumpland.
Sell the himars system to an advisory! Shit, give it to Russia for shits and giggles. I'm sure the rest of the world is lining up to buy American defense products. Honestly, I'm not sure how the weapons manufacturers are going to stand for this.
they love it. nothing moves more weapons than a good old fashioned war. sure, they're losing some international sales today, but in a few months when things get hot? oooh mama
