The Trump administration has reportedly paused all military aid to Ukraine.
The decision, reported by Bloomberg News, comes after a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday descended into chaos, the latest in a larger fraying of the U.S.-Ukraine alliance.
The president is reportedly reviewing whether Zelensky is willing to engage in good-faith efforts at making peace with Russia, a Defense Department official told the outlet.

A tantrum that will allow more free people who want to join NATO and the sphere of American and European influence and economy to die while saving the lives of an invading genocidal army.
And you choose this. Your ancestors would be disgusted.

Saying that people who are kidnapped off the streets, who cannot leave the country (other than trying to cross “illegally” through mountains/rivers), who cannot vote, whose medias are controlled, saying that they are free is so fucking cruel.
Trump is the people’s only chance of survival in Zelensky’s concentration camp.

Or offer to give Ukraine 2 nukes if Zelensky steps down.
Or help Ukraine join a bigger organization that can help them. offer them statehood like Canada.
Better yet invade Russia right now. They can’t even take Ukraine. That will end the war.
but no let’s stop them from getting weapons over minerals rights and offer no alternatives. So Russia keeps everything and more Ukraine lives are lost over something they didn’t choose. Russia is not known for forgiving population that gave them trouble. Just look at east Berlin.

None of what you mentioned has anything to do with freedom. Freedom isn’t defined by what you can do, it’s defined by what you can’t do. If they capitulate to Russia, they’ll permanently lose essential freedoms.
Yes, the situation is bad, I get that, but it should be the Ukrainian people who decide when to tap out. Russia will keep harassing them, and they will never be safe without strong allies.
