U.S. Will Send Ukraine Patriot Batteries

edited July 14 in Off-Topic
Trump reverses course and decides to send additional Patriot batteries to Ukraine paid for by NATO.
He also threatened "secondary sanctions" on Russia (with a 50-day grace period).
Trump may have finally realized that Putin was not sincere in seeking a peaceful resolution to the war.

"Trump said his shift was motivated by frustration with Putin, who talked about peace
but continued to strike Ukrainian cities.
'I don't want to say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy,' he said.
'We actually had probably four times a deal.
And then the deal wouldn't happen because bombs would be thrown out that night
and you'd say we're not making any deals,' he said."

"Last week he said, 'We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin.'"

  • By the time he changes his mind again he'll send a box of AAA batteries and claim that he's DONE THE BIGGEST HELP IN HISTORY!!
  • Such a fickle, dangerous buffoon. But I'm please about the change. We'll just see if it sticks.
  • when orange jenius suspects he MAY be getting played after more than a decade of such, putin is just 1 nobel prize nomination away from it being forgotten.
    why the delay after 'peace on day 1'?

    there is zero chance trump can or will execute an allied sanction strategy to cripple russia's war economy.
