In a brutally honest Truth Social post today, President Trump calls out the EU/NATO nations to stop buying Russian energy products if they want him to lead the imposition of stronger sanctions against Russia.
The “coalition of the willing” has been openly and privately applying public pressure upon President Trump to push stronger sanctions against Russia. However, at the same time the EU/NATO are making these demands, they are also purchasing Russian energy products as delivered through third parties.
So today, President Trump posts this:
[SOURCE]
A non-diplomatic way of saying, ‘put up or shut up.’
Those of you who understand business terms can well understand “making the monkey jump.” President Trump is not taking their monkey.
This is a direct response to the public statements being made by EU/NATO leadership, who are -by design- trying to put the responsibility onto President Trump, and defer all their own culpability in the process.
This is similar to the approach President Trump took in 2018 when he very publicly called out German Chancellor Angela Merkel for continuing the Nordstream II Pipeline deal with Russia while simultaneously expecting President Trump to fortify NATO against Russia.
In this exchange, President Trump was in Brussels, Belgium for the start of the annual NATO summit.
.
President Trump knows the EU/NATO will not do it.
The French govt has just collapsed. The EU voted no confidence in Ursula von der Leyen. The German economy is contracting. The U.K is facing a financial crisis. Moldova is facing a very sketchy election this month. The Canadian economy is contracting, etc etc.
The last thing the EU/NATO want to do going into the winter is make their energy prices skyrocket.
Trump well understands the leverage point right now.
George Kennan, 1998 interview on NATO expansion
https://eldyrin.livejournal.com/23389.html
“Our differences in the cold war were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime.”
“Yes, tell your children, and your children’s children, that you lived in the age of Bill Clinton and William Cohen, the age of Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger, the age of Trent Lott and Joe Lieberman, and you too were present at the creation of the post-cold-war order, when these foreign policy Titans put their heads together and produced . . . a mouse.”
U.S. is more at war with CIA, NATO and the EU than it is with Russia.
The other side of this should be to normalize relations with Russia and do business with them. Not this ridiculous faux enemy crap the IC and MIC keeps propagandizing.
President Trump and his MAGA supporters are “more at war with the CIA, NATO and the EU than they are with Russia”!! Congress especially Senate Democrats and Uniparty members are still warmongering for a forever war with Russia! What bull💩! JMO
100%
USA and Russia ARE fighting on the same side to defeat the “City of London” and those that do their bidding (CIA, NATO and the EU….etc)
🎯
I would say they produced a mouse turd.
90% of ALL world, State, City, cultural , and financial problems are directly caused by politicians in government.
Only job where you get to create the problem then raile and bloviate against the problem which you helped create……then throw tax dollars at the problem ….. then make the problem worse……then throw yet more tax dollars at the problem.
Rinse cycle and repeat.
Throwing tax dollars at each problem to enable money laundering, of course!
Been saying this ever since I realized that idiot politicians do not care about their constituents, they just care about power…rinse and repeat
And thus has it always been.
There are exceptions, but those people are few and far between.
And get people to send you money to fix the problem that you created in the first place!
Only 90%?
I was thinking this is that rare case where 110% really exists.
The other 10% haven’t been there long enough to effect a solid grift for taxpayer pillage.. By the end of their term they will have it fixed
I’d say 95 – 99%, but what do I know?
Outstanding, Mr. President! Put up or shut up indeed!
But no more sanctions. They never work.
PDJT has no intention of imposing more sanctions against Russia and this statement proves it. He knows very well that Turkey won’t stop purchasing Russian oil as Turkey is the third-largest purchaser of Russian oil in the world, after India and China.
The coalition of the willing can’t afford to increase their energy costs, they are teetering on financial collapse. They will be struggling to prevent rebellions within their own borders as it is. Today’s demonstrations in London are just a start.
If just one person in a union goes on ‘strike’, consequences are maximized for that one worker, and minimal for the strike target.
Same with NATO.
This is nothing but a complete set-up by Trump.
“Wasting my time?” “Do as I say?” (Without the “…and if you don’t [this will happen]”)
This is how Trump stops the war. This is his excuse to stop all further aid and pull all of the “non” US boots-on-the-ground out of that corrupt-as-hell country.
Pretty obvious.
How is it a setup? It’s a clear declaration that patience is no longer part of our approach.
He knows the EU will not stop buying Russian oil. He can then say “adios”. Leave them to solve the problem without the U.S.
Hope so. Whatever it takes.
And? So what? Nice try….we all see you, we see all of you and over the last few years, you all have tried to infect this hive, it’s not working.
At war with Russia but buying oil from Russia.
Followed by another attempt to rationalize the nonsense.
I guess the previous leverage point about 7000 dead soldiers per week didn’t work. Nobody cares about that because they aren’t even dying.
lol
Fake War.
It’s The New Normal Charlie Brown
At war with Russia but buying oil from Russia.
Its schizophrenic.
That’s like saying stay indoors and practice social distancing unless you need to go outside and protest Donald Trump or something. They just think we’re all stupid. and are relying on the media to keep us dumbed down. But every now and then Trump sends a clue. He knows it’s fake too.
It’s a fake war and it was a fake pandemic too. , manufactured by the same globalist frauds
The bottom line seems to be that President Trump opposes Putin much more than many in the EU do.
That makes sense as President Trump is nothing like Putin, whereas many EU leaders are actually a lot like Putin.
I don’t get that conclusion, LL.
Earlier comments in this thread have described the logic behind it.
I don’t think it has anything to do with who likes whom — or who is like whom.
Everything has a moral, if only you can find it.
President Trump likes Putin because Putin wants to see Russians succeed. The EU Globalists want to succeed but do not care if Europeans are successful. Putin wants to make Russia Strong so it can defend itself. The EU does not spend enough to defend itself. The EU has let immigration run wild and the EU will be destroyed by immigration. Russia is for Russians. Sundance has shown even with war Russia is thriving.
The EU is dying and is a blood sucking tick attached to the US. We need to put some Frontline on that tick; so it will drop off of us.
President Trump may once have liked Putin, but not anymore.
In late May 2025, after a massive Russian bombardment of Ukrainian cities, Trump stated in an impromptu discussion with reporters: “I’ve known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all”. He followed this with a Truth Social post declaring, “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!”. In the same post, Trump claimed Putin was “needlessly killing a lot of people … for no reason whatsoever” and warned that if Putin sought to conquer all of Ukraine, it would “lead to the downfall of Russia!”.
Putin has changed. I’ve been watching him for at least 10 years. In the past 6 months he’s changed
Is that you, Pino? 🫡
I’m simply a scribe.
It would be nice if he had some leverage on Congress! Especially republicans.
Use the Kirk assassination for a ‘your with me or against me’ push. Promise to primary everyone, and apply maximum rhetorical pressure on everyone in the mean time, if they don’t immediately roll over to his demands.
And fire Wiles and the three stooges.
NATO, Ukraine, Russia, and the EU are a distraction. We want you worried about the US and no one else.
😀
Notice Kelly, the lady next to him, and Pompeo’s nervousness of realizing the game is up. 😂
Gen Kelly looked very uncomfortable.
I think that is Kay Bailey Hutchison, US Ambassador to NATO 2017 – 2021.

I guess this is a good thing??..(not so sure). Sadly it’s not heading in any direction most of us had hoped for.
Peace.
NATO, the EU, they’ve all courted President Trump…played up to him…tried playing him, with some success. Sadly little Z man hasn’t been royally canned and dumped, which is required to get anything done. Putin has played this hard and tough, as expected, but without any assistance given toward PDJT’s multiple dilemmas. Russia commands the war and will keep driving until Ukraine gives up the territories expected…AND the guarantees against NATO expansion are believed.
I just don’t want America becoming the fulcrum again in this $#ithole war…but it appears that’s where we’re headed. Don’t do it Mr. President.
Trump is being a little cheeky here. Yes, they are buying Russian oil, but we (USA) are still sending money, weapons, and intelligence to the Ukraine via intermediaries and Trump knows it. Problem is, he has no real control over that. I kinda wish he would admit that already.
Stop buying Russian oil AND stop sending US financial support. That would end it.
I think we are only selling weapons to NATO. No money has been voted on for a while.
We are selling weapons to NATO and they are paying with the $$$ we give NATO. It’s a silly shell game, Booger!
Stop pretending… I want receipts or cancelled checks for weapons we “sell” NATO. We are complicit in this flipping mess.
He needs to publically say he isn’t the one funding Ukraine, and call out the uniparty and Zelensky for what they are.
Putin has been a complete bastard and is now pausing negotiations. He could have had 95% of what he wanted.
Trump doesn’t want to continue arms to Ukraine but Putin has done nothing but escalate while Trump has shown immense patience and good will
is it you Kellog*???
“President Trump knows the EU/NATO will not do it.”
He is probably pretty sure anyway, but is he happy or unhappy about that ?
And, in any case, does this give Putin a free pass to continue the war?
Germany, France, the UK, Canada, etc.: All run by cowards.
Sick of all these so-called allies who are worst than the enemies. How pleasant it would be if we’d just say ‘screw it all’ and start living for ourselves. They’re all like a bunch of leeches. Try to remove them and they find a new way to attach.
That’s an insult to leeches!
Despite assertions that it’s not, his war.it actually is Trump’s war now.
Rubio said this was a proxy war. The USA deep state started this war in 2014 with the coup, it has run the war using Ukraine as expendable manpower, it has financed the war and financed great corruption and money laundering.
Lloyd Austin among others stated openly that it is their intention to deliver a strategic defeat on Russia. Good luck with that.
It would be like Mexico fighting USA financed and equipped by China or Russia with their stated intent of strategically defeating the USA. America would never accept that.
The EU is buying Russian oil from India or elsewhere because buyer and seller have agreed on a price.
The EU has also committed to buying 750 billion $ worth of USA LNG at 3-4 times the price of Russian energy. What do you call that?
Please stop with that lie about wanting to stop the killing. Nobody was concerned about the 14000 civilians killed by Ukraine shelling of Donbass from 2014 to 2022.
Nobody was concerned about the 1.5 million Ukraine dead or the 150K Russian dead so far.
Nobody was concerned about Japanese or German or Russia dead in WWII.
The Russians have for 2-3 decades said do not push NATO borders up against Russia’s border. You have ignored it.
Neither the USA or EU has the conventional military to change the outcome.
Russia is doing the slow grind of their pawns against the USA proxy pawns.
Too bad they hadn’t thought of sending pagers to NATO and Ukraine officers and politicians.
This is Trump’s war, and it is an expense for American taxpayers.
The easily provable nonsense of saying USA has a deal for 350 billion in rare earth minerals and 100 billion in drone technological transfers from Ukraine are risible.
Russia by dragging this out is encouraging endless shenanigans and schemes fueled by delusions that Russia is a gas station with nukes and that its economy is smaller than the Texas economy.
Maybe GDP numbers have too much financial engineering and do not represent manufacturing capabilities.
Compare using Purchasing Power Parity ,then it’s the 4th largest.
It’s Trump’s war
Deja vu all over again.
The Vietnam War was initiated under President Lyndon B. Johnson, but it was concluded under President Richard Nixon, making it a conflict that spanned both administrations. Johnson escalated U.S. involvement significantly after the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, which led to the passage of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution authorizing him to increase military presence without a formal declaration of war. By 1969, Johnson had deployed over 540,000 U.S. troops to Vietnam, and his administration faced growing domestic opposition and a deepening crisis in the war effort. Johnson ultimately decided not to seek re-election in 1968 due to the war’s unpopularity and its impact on his presidency.
Richard Nixon, who took office in January 1969, inherited the war and claimed to have a “secret plan” to end it, promising “peace with honor”. He began a policy of “Vietnamization,” which aimed to gradually transfer combat responsibilities to the South Vietnamese military while withdrawing U.S. troops. Nixon also pursued diplomatic negotiations and conducted military actions, including secret bombings of Cambodia and Laos, to pressure North Vietnam. Although Nixon initiated the withdrawal of American forces, the war continued until the fall of Saigon in 1975, after he had left office. Therefore, while Johnson’s decisions fundamentally shaped the war’s escalation, Nixon’s administration defined its de-escalation and eventual conclusion, making it a shared legacy of both leaders.
What alternate universe are you visiting from?
Rubio said it was a proxy war, USA is sending arms and money to Ukraine making EU pay for it and lying that rare earth and Ukraine drone technology transfers will also pay for it.
No evidence of rare earths or Ukraine drone tech value.
Nothing has changed except the chatter. Starlink is still being used by Ukraine.
USA assets do all the surveillance and targeting, NATO is the USA.
Biden’s immigration policy was changed and that is Trump’s policy, now.
Economic policy was changed and that is Trumps now, but Ukraine is still being funded and equipped with no end date, but that is still Biden’s war. Do a survey. Who believes that?
Current U.S. Support for Ukraine’s Air Operations
Potential Future U.S. Involvement
Key Takeaway
While NATO AWACS are actively providing intelligence from regional flights, there is no current indication that U.S. AWACS are flying direct combat support missions over Ukraine. Any future U.S. air support would likely be a new development, possibly linked to security guarantees within a peace agreement.
But its Bidens war?
What is the Trump team plan to exit the war?
Maybe its a secret and everything they are doing today to keep Ukraine in the fight is just a ruse?
Secondary sanctions against anyone trading with Russia?
That plan isn’t hostile,it’s not trying to intimidate ?
Supplying everything to continue the war is what?
NATO is the USA,The EU does not have the capability for independent action.
Current plans are

but continuing the war is Biden’s war. Do a survey and ask ordinary people whose war it is now.
you should ask yourself this qst……
Your first sentence renders the rest unreadable.

Current U.S. Support for Ukraine’s Air Operations
Intelligence Sharing:The U.S. participates in providing critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data to Ukraine. NATO AWACS:NATO’s AWACS aircraft, which are equipped with advanced radar and surveillance systems, are deployed along the Alliance’s eastern flank and monitor activities over and near Ukraine, providing vital situational awareness to Ukraine and the Alliance. Potential Future U.S. Involvement
Air Support Guarantees:President Trump has floated the idea of providing U.S. air support as a security guarantee for Ukraine to backstop a peace deal with Russia. Pilot and Aircraft Support:This air support could potentially involve U.S. pilots and warplanes, which Trump suggested would be a way for the U.S. to help without putting troops on the ground. Commercial Deals:Ukraine is also looking to secure weapons through commercial deals with the U.S. Key Takeaway
While NATO AWACS are actively providing intelligence from regional flights, there is no current indication that U.S. AWACS are flying direct combat support missions over Ukraine. Any future U.S. air support would likely be a new development, possibly linked to security guarantees within a peace agreement.

thank you homer d….
Excellent move by President Trump. Continuing to buy oil from Russia exposes their lie that they are afraid of an aggressive Russia, since their oil purchases have been helping Russia stay afloat to keep itself armed and fighting Ukraine. They have done little to nothing to improve their own militaries if they are so afraid of Russia, meaning they aren’t. They have done nothing to improve their own access to energy for their countries, meaning they have no intention of stopping to buy from Russia. They are complete hypocrites who expect the U.S. to continue to fund the war whose only real purpose is to help them stay afloat. High time to tell them to put up or shut up, and if they won’t put up then the U.S. will finally walk away from their mess.
Notice how President Trump said nothing about the drone “attack” on Poland? The Europeans have been in a non-stop tizzy over that, agitating of course for more U.S. involvement to stop Russia. When he had them in the Oval Office recently they had no coordinated response to him. They have one now and PT must understand that they have no intention of allowing any negotiations to stop the war. Z understands that and so does Putin.
I think the drone “attack” was most likely something they and the IC made happen by interfering in some way with the control of those drones so that a small number of a much larger group of drones attacking Ukraine that day would fly on past Ukraine and into Polish airspace so they could allege Russia was attacking Poland, and by extension all of NATO. PT’s silence about those drones in his message may well indicate he knows it was not a real attack but a scheme to push the U.S. into continuing to support the never-ending war that they so desperately want.
A Russian drone attack on Poland using unarmed drones?
Let me know when Russian Tanks are rolling through Warsaw!
Yeah not an attack but obviously provocative on Russias part. They came from Belarus during a joint exercise so it’s not a ukr false flag
This is so awesome! Let’s put leverage on the libtards in this country and get it cleaned up! What kind of leverage? The rule and force of law!
Genuine education would help you.
Those of us paying attention recognize the absurdity of such statements given that he continues to fund a UKR government which, in his previous administration, actively participated in a plot to remove him from office. His current SoS most certainly knows this to be the case, by the way. So is this more 5D chess or is the guy just incredibly ill-prepared to do what is necessary in order to actually ensure peace? Merely repeating over and over again that it isn’t his war, when it clearly is (after all, he continued to arm UKR in his first administration even as they were trying to get rid of him!), won‘t make it disappear. What an incredibly weak position to be negotiating from! And as if that weren’t enough, the endless ignorance and willingness to adopt Lindsay‘s wet dream of sanctions packages all the while allowing NATO countries to continue pilfering frozen RUS assets is too much to stomach! This resembles nothing close to serious diplomacy!
Your first sentence is also silly. The finding is allocated from previous budget and he has been told he can’t cancel it.
Rescissions. To my knowledge, only one pocket rescission has been introduced just recently. As an aside: From which countries does the US purchase the bulk of its uranium?
Guess what happened to that rescission? You think that sad sack bunch of R grifters is going to end its own grift?
I wholeheartedly agree, but more rescissions and forcing the “R grifters“ to vote on them over and over again would do a lot in raising awareness and would provide needed justification with respect to withdrawing from the conflict.
Exactly. Trump calling out NATO for guzzling Russian oil could have been done the day he entered office. Nothing is different now than it was then.
Just kicking the can down the road, lots of bark, no bite.
I believe that president Zelensky is constantly trying to manipulate president Trump. He has shown no patriotism to his country and compassion for his people in not resolving the war early on. Zelensky has been prepared to sacrifice a huge number of men for his own ambitions.
President Trump has a problem back home with all the warmongers including in his own party. This makes me very angry because I have seen the effects of World War 2 on my own family members who voluteered yes volunteered to fight against the Germans.
I find it absolutely scandalous when countries have the ability to end a war do not do so. If European countries and the USA had told Ukraine they would give no money, no weapons and not take in millions of refugees and that Zelensky had to make a serious effort to resolve the differences, I believe he would have done so. Why does President Trump not see this?
“Why does President Trump not see this?”
See what you see?
They West (including President Trump) is not going to cut the Ukrainian people off at the neck (no weapons, nor ammo) and leave them all to the mercy of a man with none.
If president Putin were intent on destroying Ukraine, why has he limited his attacks to military targets in the mainly Russian speaking areas of Ukraine? Why did he seek to bring an end through negotiation to the war in the early stages which effort was undermined by the UK prime minister Boris Johnson?
I have tried to form a coherent understanding of the situation by listening to very differing views and have found among these the strongest and most convincing arguments made by Alexander Mercouris, a Greek barrister in the UK and another Greek, a political commentator, Alex Christoforou, working from Greece and neighboring islands.
These men do not portray Putin as the worst of the bad guys and Western Leaders as the best of the good guys but are far more nuanced. I see the mess numerous European leaders have made in their countries, Starmer in the UK, Macron in France, Merz in Germany and I could go on. None of these leaders have made an effort to find a peace settlement. Only the president of Hungary has from the beginning called for a peace resolution. I believe warmongers in Western governments have not helped but allowed or even encouraged president Zelensky to sacrifice perhaps as many a million Ukrainian men unnecessarily. I have been dismayed at how few leaders in the West have been consistenly concerned with working towards a peaceful resolution.
Well said.
Excellent points and presentation of the problems.
He hasn’t he’s ramped up civilian shelling in the past 6 months and continually hammers Kievs civilian areas.
Early on neocon nastiness is a valid point but at this point in the war Putin and Zelensky are equally responsible for the war continuing. Putin is a ruthless POS he’s pretty much proven that
Hate to break it to you but Putin also doesn’t want peace. If he did he’d have 95% of what he’s asked for because Trump mainly agrees
Trump could stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine and stop sending American weapons to kill white Christians and end the war…but America First and stuff.
In the GOP primary for 2028, Vance will be the Establishment candidate. He will be facing a resurgent America Firster/ Christian Firster.
Vance will be defending Israel First, AIPAC, the Ukraine proxy war, 600,000 Chinese replacements, H1B, and much more. We need major cuts in ALL “legal” immigration.
Vance will not be defending Israel First as Vance puts no nation above his own. And no that is not India, it is America.
One can not be “America Firster/ Christian Firster” as both can not be first unless they are the same thing, which they are not..
It would be nice to see some evidence from Vance to support your analysis.
Yawn
A European winter is coming soon.
And as the leaders of these nations who have a tyrannical stranglehold on the people who live there and a messianic devotion to expensive, inefficient “clean energy”, destroying every source of reliable energy from coal to nuclear, what do we think the chances are that they will oblige President Trump?
They have to continue to import Russian oil.
I think keeping the proletariat masses, the disgusting untermensch, from freezing is the only thing they have left to protect themselves from an uprising reminiscent of Christmas Day 1989.
Their memories may be short, but they’re not that short.
We will see.
NATO is such a waste of money. A buddy of mine served there about a decade ago, at NATO headquarters as a USAF officer. He loved the assignment. They only worked about three days a week, as the entire staff gets every single member state bank/federal holiday off. He had so much official time off, it was basically like a three year vacation for him. When he had to go back to a regular unit, he was depressed (and took it out on his people, but that’s a different story)
We called them REMF’s.
We called them REMF’s.
Or pogues.
Maybe President Trump could do a sort of end run and re-friend Kim and talk him into bringing back his troops from cannon fodder service in Russia.
NATO cannot cut off Russian oil as Trump demands, so member states will likely let the proposal fade, which gives Trump the chance to walk away from the Ukraine war issue while blaming NATO for inaction.
My thought also, put better than I could.
Your crazy if you think just walking away is on the table, no matter what.
And so the EU will engineer a false flag to trigger article 5…. That’s the only move the EU has left.
Isn’t that we saw this week with the drones in Poland?
No that was legit Russian activity. The EU are just extremely dramatic.
My fear also.
These educated idiots shut down virtually all of their no-CO2 nuclear power plants!
On top of that, there were few LNG terminals in Europe!
So they then turned to burning lignite, the most filthy form of coal!
(France an exception with a huge NP industry – which sells excess electricity to other countries.)
Talk, Talk, Talk,
As for me, I want to see prosecutions and convictions in the USA.
Still waiting.
POTUS Trump uses simple logic and simple consequences in a way that we and the ultra-elite World Leaders understand completely and instantly! No BS, no pretenses, no mystery! About 90% of the elected politicians for the last 80 years should be hanging their heads in utmost shame for their now obvious short-comings! It has cost us vast fortunes, just to put up with their incompetent, often illegal and political fumblings and playing as the “loyal opposition”!
Yeah EU, buy from us. We’re more reliable.
and we happily sent them lng and they will happily pay 5x more than russian cheap gas…..
Any sanctions on Russian oil will cause oil prices in the US to skyrocket driving up inflation and interest rates as well as heating and electric bills. It will give Powell and the Federal Reserve a further excuse to keep interest rates high.
What happened to stopping the $$$ and weapons to Ukraine on DAY ONE?
Why should Americans be punished for the lack of political will to do what is needed and what was promised?
Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently?
Hi concern troll. Domestic production ramps up and there’s little to no effect. We don’t buy Russian oil.
Sorry. With the domestic issues we have going on right now in the U.S., I don’t really care what is going on in Europe/NATO/Ukraine/Russia/Whatever.
And the US House just passed a bill for MORE military aid to Ukraine. 60 GOP voted no. All CommieDems voted yes. Hope Trump vetoes this bill. The Zman is trying to start WWIII by trying to hit Poland with drones (they have tape holding them together). That was not Russia trying to send drones against Poland.
The father of the girl murdered in PA on the train wanted to go to his daughters funeral and Zman said no. The man was military age and might not return. Pathetic little tyrant.
That leaves 159 Republicans in the House who want to continue the war.
When it is that many, I don’t think we can call them ‘Republican in name only.’
It would be more mathematical to call the 60 RINO.
And with an overwhelming vote of 372 to 60, it is called veto proof.
An amendment introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to prohibit Ukraine aid was defeated by an overwhelming vote of 372 to 60, meaning only 60 members of the House of Representatives voted against aid to Ukraine.
The President is in charge of foreign policy. If he wants to withhold aid, it’s his call. He doesn’t need a vote of Congress.
Which is why Republicans voted repeatedly to fund Democrat NGOS that funnel billions to legal defence for illegal immigrants and criminals as well as every green energy and climate change scam the Democrats support!
Is there a by name list of the60 that voted against?
They were Russian decoy or surveillance drones from Belarus they tracked a flight path. And the defense bill is like 400 million to ukr
So what happens when the EU and UK does not put up?
No sanctions on Russia by the US.
Arms sales to NATO members to transfer to Ukraine don’t appear to be affected.
My man….Trump is no ones chump.
President Trump needs to take his own advice and put up. The Europes believe he’s bluffing and won’t withhold arms or hundreds of billions in war funding. They’ll let President Trump gripe and continue on their merry path. It’s really up to you, Mr. President. Put up or shut up. Stop the slaughter by terminating funding. Respectfully submitted.
Europe might believe that, but one thing people should have learned from the first Trump administration – he does not bluff.
Hope Europe is ready for the hellfire they have instigated due to their dangling NATO membership to Ukraine in the face of Russia which negated every treaty to not put NATO on Russia’s borders since the fall of the USSR.
I suspect, in the answer to my own question earlier in this thread – Europe’s on its own, don’t count on the United States coming to save its bacon this time.
The President is bluffing. He’s concerned if he ends funding, Putin will conquest most or all of Ukraine. That would crush President Trump’s legacy to lose Ukraine on his watch. The Europes know that.
Guess time will tell.
UKR was never getting into NATO, Turkey will not allow it – anyone using their reality lens knows that. It’s a discussion ploy only.
True; but that is one fragment of the excuse that was used for Russia’s special military operation, the major reason, if memory still works, is that after that area of Ukraine now under Russian control had voted to secede from Ukraine to become part of Russia the Ukrainian AZOV units (the actual fascists) upped their killing of the natives in that area.
Unfortunately, once the hounds of war get unleashed, at least in Europe, it’s almost impossible to put them back in the kennel before continent-wide war has its day in the sun.
I love my President.
As NATO allies WHY are they not buying our oil and gas??
If they did you’d be paying $7 a gallon at the pump instead of $3.50. It’s a funny thing called supply and demand!
No they wouldn’t. Tons of suppliers come online at slightly above current pricing.
I’m paying $5.29 in California because Newsom is shutting down gasoline refineries every few months. Nobody in Washington DC is making Newsom stop. What capacity are you talking about when California supplies the Western United States with gasoline?
First of all, those traitorous clowns beside him in that video, make me want to vomit when I think about what they were all doing behind his back. Their eye rolling still makes my blood boil just by looking at it.
And here we are billions later, same shit different year.
The posting of info on China was a hidden gem of possibly our Presidents leverage with Mr. Putin.
Interesting times. Could even change history.
