2. Did MIC in USA manage to persuade him?

3. $50 million is a lot of money… but Ukraine needs $50 billion in Patriot batteries and additional missiles.

4. Maybe Zelensky should just offer to build a Trump Tower in Kyiv and luxury golf course nearby.

   Ukraine would probably have air supremacy over Crimea by next week.

5. Looks like a blackmail

6. Dear Amurucans, culd you just strike Russian airbaces once (by mistake)? Same as Russians shoot down civilian planes. Now, here is yours legitimate property which requires protection.

7. Trump has allowed sales currently. Sales and aid are not the same thing.

8. Quid pro

9. They asked for 10 patriots worth of 50Bln usd and got 50M usd of something different. 🙂

10. I like how everyones opinion is just opposition to trump not anything really about Ukraine. Like even if it’s just saying the war should end soon is faced with hostility

11. $50 million? Fuck off. Chump change.
