World will abandon evil Trump’s isolationist America and move forward. So ashamed to be held hostage as an American by this regime.

Yes, it must be galling to the USA when a real leader of the free world steps on to the stage… Ukraine; bloodied, and fighting for human values that others in the world have turned their back on.

Lot of people don’t quite understand what’s going on here. Geopolitics can be a mess.
Besides Trump having connections to Russia (Ivana, etc) and so being predisposed to listening to lies of Putin…
US themselves has long had a plan that was originally coined by Henry Kissinger, which involves making Russia an US ally, and then Russia is used against China to wall them off from the world by every major nation around them being at least neutral if not unfriendly. This plan was first brought about in 1970’s, when USSR and China had more equal and more antagonistic relationship. These days China tops Russia any time in any possible contest of power, outside of nuclear weapons, so China has lot of leverage.
Foolishly, US has decided to pursue this strategy again, while also trying to support Ukraine alongside their NATO allies, that are rightfully concerned about violent imperialistic hole Russia has once again fallen into. It’s not just Trump, but many other people like Rubio, Heritage Foundation people, US oligarchs like Musk and Thiel… When China saw what US is doing, of course they support Russia instead so they can keep their stranglehold on them. Mere promise of a trade by US is nothing compared to all sorts of assistance China can move in Russia as long as Putin obeys them in return.
That’s why you see Trump talking about not increasing sanctions, trying to force a peace deal even at expense of Ukraine, starting trade with Russia again and so forth. It’s not just his own idea. He’s just running with it. His tariff stuff is also conflicting with this strategy here, because it’s way too heavy-handed and seemingly chaotic.

“Officials have presented him with options that include sanctioning Russia and *reducing American aid to Ukraine*”
One – who are the fuckers suggesting this?
Two – what is there left to reduce? Intelligence sharing which costs you nothing? Even Starlink is paid by our Polish friends, not US
And also: it makes me extremely angry sometimes, the disbalance between power and intellect or any kind of comprehension of the situation within that man. Any high school graduate (*at most*) can figure out who’s at fault here, that “peace talks” were leading to only increasing (already insane) orc demands, and that the *only* way to get putin to a ceasefire is by blowing up all or most of his toys that he uses to hurt brave Ukranian civilians and fighters.
But this over-tan man ‘not touched by intellect’* can’t friggin grasp it, and instead of helping only gets in the way (*cough* – European sanctions latest of many *cough cough*).
One word comes to mind about him – *Unworthy*.
*’not touched by intellect’ – Lithuanian expression for deeply stupid

The way to manage the US relationship is not to count on them for anything. Strictly transactional.
Strikes like this are exactly what Ukraine needs and should be doing.
