Trump must reverse the dangerous Ukraine aid halt | “Trump’s minions (or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s) have done some faulty risk assessment here: The consequences of letting Russia conquer its neighbor will be far more dire than a less-than-full weapons store.” | The New York Post

1. When “Conservative” news outlets call Trump policies and actions out for appeasing Russia, then one knows it’s way worse than it appears.

   BTW, there’s no such thing as being a “Conservative” in 2025. Ever since 2016, the Republican party has fallen to the depths of depravity, it has become the MAGA party. Conservatives were the Bush presidents, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford. Trump is a corrupt conman and criminal who appeases the United State’s number one enemy, which is Russia. Trump is truly slow in the head and has the vocabulary of a three year old.

   Republicans who support Ukraine, like Brian Fitzpatrick and Don Bacon, who’s not running for reelection, still voted in support of Trump’s BBB. These people are all lost. There’s nothing left of what used to be the Republican party.

2. They’re just laying the foundation for a modern pearl harbor, that’s all. And while the american billionaires had a party and raked in the cash with tax cuts, inflation,more taxes, price gouging, while attacking poor brown people…our enemies move against us, chipping away at our country….but DC doesn’t FC…they’re making fucking money hand over fist and money is more important than your own country,right?

3. For some reason Hegseth is hell bent on making Ukraine lose. Is it just to curry favour with Trump ? Is he actually brainwashed by conservative media l/ ruZZian propaganda like Tucker Carlson and think this is a popular MAGA or Republican position? Why does he hate Ukraine so much?

4. The US military doctrine has been to be able to fight and win two wars at a time. If Russia is neutralized, we dramatically reduce the risk of two wars at the same time or the scale of a European issue. For example, every tank Ukraine destroys is one less to be worried about in the Fulda gap. Every oil refinery smashed is less money Russia has to rebuild its military. Why is this so difficult for some Americans to understand?

5. There is no national security reason to NOT support Ukraine to the fullest extent.

   Ergo Hesgeth has some other agenda. Trump may not be paying attention or is distracted or has some wolves at his back.

   This is in no way meant to be supportive of Trump. Just trying to see through the fog of Trump’s administration.

6. Why is anyone still babbling about Trump? He has made it perfectly clear the US is an ally of Russia and only wants Ukraine to surrender. The continued begging for Trump’s help in Ukraine is just humiliating and serves zero purpose. It’s time to move on and focus on thing that are achievable. Getting US help for Ukraine is just a pipe dream that distracts us from the things we could actually be doing.

7. The American oligarchs who funded Trump’s election campaigns want unrestricted access to the European market. They want to purchase/privatise our social institutions and remove public ownership of all property and assets. That’s why they only respect countries who are under the authoritarian control of fellow like-minded oligarchs like Hungary and Russia. They also want to force their extremist Christo-Fascist MAGA ideology onto Europeans.

   So, Trump, at the behest of his fellow oligarchs, is indirectly assisting Russia’s conquest of Ukraine so that they can use the threat of war to force us to bow down to them and offer massive economic and political concessions to America in exchange for their “protection.” But, these oligarchs can never be appeased. They will always want more, and they will keep changing their demands to squeeze more and more out of us.

   The global oligarchy has united against us, and we are on our own.

8. There is a reason they want to stockpile those weapons. They will be using them against american citizens.

9. I disagree.
