Trump suspends US foreign assistance for 90 days pending reviews
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order temporarily suspending all U.S. foreign assistance programs for 90 days pending reviews to determine whether they are aligned with his policy goals.
The good news is, the executive order, is specifically about development assistance. The vast, vast majority of US aid to Ukraine does not fall under this category.
Sec. 3. (a) 90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance...
lol. so this sounds like weapons to israel would not be effected but food to palestine would. the 5d chess is all coming together to make a better future for everyone.
That is dumb...
But predictable. Putin wants it, Putin gets it. He's the boss.
Kicking Russia out of Ukraine:
Does it make America safer?
Yes because Russia will have learnt the hard way that invading other countries doesn't result in less NATO on their borders and doesn't increase their own security.
Does it make America stronger?
Yes because it strengthens your alliance with Europe, and increases NATO by another country with a recent battle tested and proven military.
Does it make America more prosperous?
Yes because there is a massive amount of rebuilding needing doing in Ukraine.
Of course Putin's bumchum Trump might have a different take on all this, especially if he's been staring too much into Putin's palantir.
You can't use reason with the Orange Idiot or his boot lickers. It never works.
You left off it let's them use ukraine as a testing ground for new weapon systems, giving them wartime feedback, making them stronger.
This I can agree with. Either America should go fight Russia themselves, or its time that we look for a solution to end the war.
By... Letting Russia win?
Ukraine isn't going to defeat Russia. Other countries will have to actually enter & fight in the war, and even then it could turn into something way worse. There needs to be a ceasefire & negotiations in good faith from both sides. Russia clearly is in the wrong here in so many ways, but it is still better to try to come to a peaceful resolution & determine what that might look like.
