Kyiv burning at dawn, hours after Trumps call with Putin.

Trump is giving Putin the green light to do this. Aiding him in murder now, in fact by refusing to even sell defensive systems that will save civilian lives.

Mark Rutte is probably still wondering how to please 'Daddy'.

European leaders will probably have another emergency meeting soon.

SchMerz will be thinking harder and harder and harder about whether or not to give Taurus to Ukraine.

I was told the Russian orcs were being eliminated and massive blows were being inflicted daily by the brave men and women of Ukraine.

You're probably right.
It feels like Trump has his mind made up that Ukraine is going to lose and Russia will take over so why throw good money after bad. Whereas Israel is a sure thing.

I've always wondered, when we talk about giving weapons, does the US sell those weapons to Israel/Ukraine or do they donate? Possibly a stupid question - but the terminology used always seems to be "given" or "supplied".
I'm assuming sold, and if they are selling the weapons, where is Israel getting all the money for a country that size?
Ukraine I assume are going into huge debt?
Would that be the driving factor behind where the weapons go? More money for them in Israel?

The UK only paid its war debts to the US in 2014, that was for world war 1!

Not sure they've paid off ww2 yet

I doubt they give these weapons for 'free' be some mad financial repayment for this

Puts the pandemic spending madness into perspective. It was 75% of what WW1 cost the UK and under half of WW2 spending.
