Summary
The Economist lists a number of steps taken by the Trump administration that confirm the US withdrawal of support for Ukraine – from withdrawing the military from the key base in Rzeszow and reducing its presence in the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (also known as the Ramstein Format) to imposing a basic 10% tariff on Ukraine (while nothing of the kind has been imposed on Russia).
Diplomats in Washington also report that some Trump aides privately say they are “fed up” with Europe’s efforts.
“As always with such a chaotic administration, it is hard to distinguish the true signal from the noise,” the newspaper notes.
US: “You guys need to be more responsible for your own security.”
Europe: Takes a stronger stance on Ukraine.
US: “No…not like that…”
So fucking sick of this Russian traitor in office.
The whole world is fed up of the trump admin.
Regime, not admin.
Sorry my mistake…
Get it right or we will lock you up… /s…hoping /s…shit are they coming for me?
Who gives a fuck? Fuck trump
Because they want leverage on those rare earths. If others are providing aid, the us loses that leverage. Glad Europe is not playing along. Fuck trump’s US.
Remember when Trump wanted Europe to pay for more of its own defense? Now he is fed up with them paying for more of their own defense.
“We don’t want to be involved in Ukraine anymore”
“Ok, we’ll take care of it then…”
“… Hey, don’t do that!”
It’s not that they don’t want to be involved, it’s that they don’t want Ukraine to win, otherwise they wouldn’t care about Europe defending it.
Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.
maybe muricans should live on mars?
Normalize calling it “the Republican administration”. It’s not just one person it’s a fetid mass of enablers.
And let them be upset. What are they going to do: withdraw support and start an ill-advised trade war? That’s already happened. That’s what being “a friend” of the US gets you.
The Republican regime.
It’s a regime. It’s adopting a behavior and format that we’ve seen before in other places. One of those places was Germany during the 1930s and 40s, and the regime started with “N” and ended with “azi” (or if you want to be more formal about it, ended with “ationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”).
But there’s also notes of Khmer Rouge on the back of the palate, considered how firmly anti-intellectual our regime is now, and how they’re attacking (figuratively, but I expect literally at some point, after the insurrection act gets invoked against “gang members”, considering orangeboi’s temperment and Gorka’s commentary from a day or two ago).
Regime
Junta?
That’s usually for after the military coup
Ah. So a month or two to go on that then.
When the goose step marching happens. Probably around Heir Drumphkins birthday.
Sure. Just as long as responsibility isn’t allowed to be hung on just one person.
Glad he’s tired. We all sure are tired as hell of his bullshit
Other sources have reported that the Trump administration has approached some European country with the reqest to stop supporting Ukraine.
The request was rejected.
Oh no the nazis dont like us … . anyway
It’s not an administration, it’s a regime. Call it what it is
Good you fucking tyrant baby.
what a shitler thing to do.
