"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.
