AIBU to be utterly horrified that the US has cut off military aid to Ukraine?

I was hoping that it was mostly just bluster from Trump. But we've woken up to the news that he has actually done it. He's literally swapped sides in the war and is now standing with the aggressor, Russia, and abandoning the victim, Ukraine.

At least some Americans are speaking out against the decision:

Ukraine war latest: US pauses military aid to Ukraine as EU chief says Europe is 'ready to step up'

Meanwhile, Russia says Donald Trump's move is "the best contribution to the cause of peace".

Coming to a state near you ...project 2025....become a stepford trad wife....no vote, no voice, no contraception, no life. Sounds a bit like Sharia law to me.

They're mad out there she probably don't mind men telling her what to do with her womb.

Trump someone with balls your elected officials are weak

You know very little about British politics or the propaganda machine. You read what you want to believe and we will watch the disaster that Trump creates. All I can say is thank fuck there is mobile phones to record what's going on.

Dems are always unhappy, eh? At least they didn't riot at the Capitol, they accepted the result with good grace, as most people in most democracies do.

Yeah that was a bit of a temper tantrum

Petuniaspetal · 10/03/2025 19:45

Trump demonised mail in voting in 2020, why?... because it favoured the more democratic states. So he got the head of the Mail service ( can't remember his name) to slow the mail in vote as much as possible. Between them they limited the amount of mail in boxes so that voters had to travel extraordinary distances to post their vote. They also limited vote centres so that the queues were extraordinarily long in more democratic blue areas.

What trump hates more than anything is that ole sleepy Joe beat him and beat him good ! ....and he never got the opportunity to come back at him....hilarious.

Trump cheats at everything, his family ( did them out of their inheritance) his life, his wives, his job, (bankruptcy, not paying his workers), conman, his country ( bone spurs). If he was applying for a job, any job, he wouldn't get an interview.

Are we talking about the same trump ? Trump ain't got no balls...he mr bone spurs ! He even ran away and hid on Jan 6th...he rolls the balls gets someone else to fire them.

All your illegal aliens brought billions.of dollars...billions .....into your economy and had no reciprocal payback ...in social security or benefits...they do all the hard jobs that you natives couldn't and wouldn't do.

Trump has welcomed in a South African to raid your government so musk can invest in his own companies, taking over your aviation, Space,communications and cars, making himself richer and Americans poorer...robbing the poor of their social security to pay for the rich oligarchs...give yourself a shake ...and wake up...musk is conning America...and trump is letting him...why because trump is robbing you blind too.

It's hard to take your post seriously when you have not even learnt to use full stops. You are painting us all a picture of a typical Trump supporter.

@Isabellivi

Who have the US made treaties on nuclear disarmament with?
A treaty is not a one way street of one power disarming - but it could be breaded in that one power disarms as agreed but the other fails to do so - and both remain a nuclear power unless it is a quite unique treaty such as the Budapest memorandum

You surely realise that all nuclear powers maintain a nuclear arsenal? This is due to ‘non-proliferation’ which means not increasing / further distributing - though that only applies to signatories
Their nuclear disarmament is typically about having less and not about going down to nil

The Budapest memorandum is a little different - three major nuclear powers made an agreement with Ukraine that Ukraine would fully disarm their nuclear arsenal under guarantees from those three nuclear powers

drinking? This post is the only one written by someone who understands that news media are mouth pieces for military intelligence agencies and special interests you profit on war and conflict. People like George Soros who buy up commodities cheap. War is NOt bad for business. War is a racket.

If you read KGB defectors like yury bezmenov you will understand much more than if you listen to fake news, which manipulates emotions instead of educating people on hard economic realities (as legitimate news should do).

The US can’t afford to go any deeper in debt. If the USD$ collapses Russia will invade Europe no doubt. China will also make moves on hegemonic control of the global economy.

Rissia has never stopping building their nuclear arsenals, while US has made “peace treaties” in nuclear disarmament.

endless wars and US being spread thin all over the world weaken the US militarily and economically

zelinsky is Putin-like puppet: controlled opposition. A ruse. This is an old playbook. The whole point of this is to start war with US which is bad for the whole world.

Would you like to offer some evidence for: news media are mouth pieces for military intelligence agencies and special interests you profit on war and conflict?

Is this all 'news medias'? Every single, last one of them? Quite a few seem to come from, shall we say, different perspectives. Are they all fake? How do you come by your great wealth of knowledge?

Speaking of defectors, Garry Kasparov seems to not be on quite the same page as you...
