Maybe my wording wasn’t great, but I’m thinking more along the lines of arms sales, other support, and Russian sanctions, which would make things a lot harder for Ukraine if they went away
Comment on YSK: 'It turned out to be a tougher one': Trump says he was wrong about ending war in Ukraine
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 3 weeks agoWhy would they fold though? This idea that Ukraine was merely a puppet that would concede to literally any demands from the US was always ridiculous.

I don’t think even that would work. He could certainly hamper the war effort but the US isn’t the only ally Ukraine has. I don’t think they would capitulate unless there was major movement on the front line and a total defeat seemed possible.

It’s because Donnie is surrounded by sycophants, so he thinks he can do anything. When he encounters someone who doesn’t immediately fold he’s surprised. I.e. see Iran.
