"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender"

Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear

The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

“Another US president would be pressuring Russia to stop slaughtering innocents. Trump is instead giving them the means to kill more.” Me on Trump’s darkest turn yet against Ukraine.

Why Trump is going for Zelenskyy’s jugular

No matter how much America’s allies urge the president to back Ukraine, he cannot forgive its leader for showing up his dealmaking impotence

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent."

Did cutting off US military and economic assistance "soften" Putin's position?

Did denying Ukraine any chance of NATO membership "soften" Putin's position?

These guys have no clue about how Putin thinks.

Sir Ken McCallum head of MI5 - Russia remains "aggressor number one" and is fighting a hybrid war against the UK that is not being taken seriously enough.

This "war" did not start last week.

It's been going on for a decade+ and those denying it should be challenged.

For a short time, Trump's Iran war distracted him from his efforts to undermine Ukraine/support Putin. But now he has stumbled across the idea of blaming Ukraine for the effects of his war with Iran, he has redoubled his efforts in support of Putin.

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 2d

For weeks, Trump has called on Zelenskyy to stop striking Russia’s energy infrastructure, claiming that the attacks are “hurting the world,” while saying virtually nothing about Russia’s strikes against Ukraine.

Trump blames Ukraine—not his Iran war—for spiking oil prices around the world

While lifting sanctions against Russia and striking deals to obtain their diesel.

Today's two Russian attacks on vessels just outside Bulgarian territorial waters and following last week's attack near Romanian TTW mark a dangerous Russian escalation track that may lead to direct involvement of the two countries & NATO. This may well be the Russian game plan to test this.
