Trump Pauses Military Aid to Ukraine After Clash With Zelenskiy
-
Mineral access after Ukraine falls. Not even like legit access for US companies, but like they do for oligarchs in Russia. Also now they might let him be the one to take out Zelensky to get back at him for not being grateful enough.
-
This is what I hope happens next: Ukraine wins anyway. European politicians that still weren’t sure about defending themselves without the US will be emboldened not to rely on America anymore. Europe as a whole becomes stronger and much less willing to tolerate Trump’s obnoxious demands, and see him as the weak puppet that he is.

Poland, it'd be really cool if you all "lost track" of those shipments.
-
How is this not seen as anything but a massive conflict of interest by anybody with any sort of authority in the current government? How?
-
who?. He's the one with the authority.
-
The military that he just dismissed the leadership of and replaced with his own people, and the CIA that's directed by his people?
-
Judges, and ideally more than two congresspeople.
-
Entire admin is pathetic losers. And thanks a lot to all those geniuses who wouldn't vote for Kamala because of Gaza, this is partially on your hands
-
Nazi traitors gonna do traitorous Nazi shit. God bless Ukraine and its holy fight against evil. They will find a way and emerge victorious.
-
He's having a melt-down because the rest of the world is siding with Ukraine (as they should)
-
his own people,
of which are wildly incompetent
-
Probably, but a judge can't just override the president on matters of foreign policy, and he's the head of the political party in charge of both houses of Congress.
Relying on the system to save us from the people given control of the system isn't going to work.

the democrats did nothing in their time to safe guard democracy, hoping to wield fascism as a threat to motivate us to vote for their 2000-2008 era conservatism. it was an extremely dangerous game, and one they lost, because they failed to account for how fucking racist and unhinged one third of this country is. the consequence of them being fine with using fascism as a threat against us is that they are also fine with fascism being used against us. they'll just go along with the fascist coup so long as it's apparently what we want

Have you seen some of the shit they tried for Castro!?

It’s up to the man on the street to take action.
-
And the competent ones (as in the ones with experience at creation local militias and terrorist organizations) are gonna be out there creating the resistance.

Palestine. Maybe not successfully, but note that the idea that Palestinians have the same natural right to armed self defense as any other group is completely absent from mainstream political discourse. Most simply cannot even comprehend that the Palestinians should have just as much right to kill to defend themselves as Israelis do. Partly this is due to colonialism. Part of it is classism. The violence of the Israelis is clean and high tech. The violence of the Palestinians is crude and performed with simple weapons. We judge the morality of violence based upon the wealth of the people committing the violence.

I don't know that the CIA has ever given a shit about the United States.
Hell H.W. Bush was the son of a man that tried to overthrow the government and Ford appointed him to CIA director in the 70s.

"Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic ;that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter: So help you God?"

Yeah it's fucking wild the efforts they go through. Even if it's as discreet as a walk-by in a parking garage with a suppressed pistol or strangled in a car, there will be at least 10 people doing different jobs with zero knowledge of what the others are doing, all doing a very simple task that any normal person could do. Real life examples of how the mafia do hits are really intricate: You pay one guy to flatten a tire, you pay another guy to drive the tow truck, you pay another guy to ask them for directions to delay them a bit, you pay another guy to be an uber or taxi driver, you pay another guy to receive where the taxi/uber is going, this is all after paying probably a few other dudes to study their schedule and the schedule of their visitors/guests, pay another dude to get keep their neighbor or something distracted, pay another dude to take the shot and dip (source: I know a guy who knows a guy who knows another guy). It's very expensive and time consuming, that's why organized hits don't happen a lot it's gotta be worth the investment. This would be much harder to pull off against someone with 24/7 secret service guard, but the CIA/FBI/Police are pros at pulling shit off like this.
