"It was confidential information between Ukraine and the White House. How to understand these messages?" President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a press briefing with journalists from Nordic countries.
100%, it's a republican on one of the foreign affairs committees, someone on Trumps staff, or Trump himself. Remember, GröpenFührer gets classified briefings as a candidate for president.
you're a bit confused what it will mean to the conflict if trump gets in again, not only will the united states support dissapear (of which it's been over 75% of everything, cash, loans and arms, ukraine has gotten so far), it is the worlds only superpower. with the us under trump again, he will actively stymie ukraines abilities to receive support, with china on russia's side, there's nothing europe is going to be able to do, the only thing europe can do at that point, is hope vlad stops at ukraine. europe will write ukraine off as a business expense, and hunker down.
And if europe actually gets their act together they can stop russia in Ukraine. They have to revitalise their arms industry, be more generous with ukraine aid, and use their intelligence agencies to aid the AUF. And it’s vital we counter Putin’s social media information wars so his far right parties don’t win more elections across europe.
Europe also has the frightening option to attempt to trigger article 5 before January, and make the US choose whether to honor the commitment or leave Europe. It sounds nuts, but if you know you have yo fight russia eventually, it’s bold but could work.
Jake Sullivan, the current National Security Advisor, is one of the main players in the Biden admin who’s responsible for slow-walking everything. It’s my considered opinion that the guy is kind of a fucking idiot, with regards to how he views and treats Russia. I REALLY hope Harris does not keep him.
He's gotta slow walk Ukrainian aid so he can send more to Israel. He's the guy who is holding back our intelligence community every time Israel makes a blanket assertion about Hamas tunnels. Blinken is the other one but it's hard to keep a cap on USAID employees.
I really hope it doesn't come to that as escalation will be fast, but if they keep being strung along and not being given means to end the war there might not be another choice =(
