Trump Pauses Military Aid to Ukraine After Clash With Zelenskiy

The answer is simpler than that: the “checks and balances” system is a facade created to prevent meaningful progressive policy from passing.
Checks and Balances always work in favor of the more evil side.
The "Good Guys" would respect the checks of balances, making it harder to enact good policies. The "Bad Guys" would just ignore all this, and just use executive orders for everything, as we can see this administration doing right now.
Checks and Balances can only prevent corrupt individuals, it prevents one branch from becoming evil, not an entire party that has taken over all 3 branches of government, and working together to destroy democracy.

Not talked about, but I can talk about the Tulsa Race Massacre and the Ludlow Massacre without retribution from the US. I am able to.
I'm concerned when the US military is given full "The people are the enemy" attitude and to protest it becomes illegal.

We really needed something more akin to coalitions

I'm not an American but considering only 22% or so of population actually voted for trump I'm not sure you're right that entire US culture is just broken. Maybe the attack is just so effective that even with 80% resistance it's successful. I mean dudes wrote an entire plan book on in.
Maybe it's time to come to terms that the system is simply vulnerable. I come from infosec background and it seems quite clear to me that US democracy is just incredibly vulnerable to attacks despite the "checks and balances" memes.

Giving russia more power won't be any better for the world at large.

Oh yeah, I think it’s both, to be sure.

I am not surprised by Orange Krasnov. For the racist Ukrainian MAGAt supporters living in Brighton Beach, give yourself the single finger salute while staring at a mirror. You bunch of dumbfucks, you screwed Ukraine.

to add in, european scientists often move to US for more income, i see the reverse happening down the line, fleeing back to thier countries.

Not talked about, but I can talk about
Freedom to speak, not to be heard. Good luck saying those things on TV and ever being invited again. Good luck talking about these issues in a book and getting it published.

So it turns out that what matters most in the end is less the intricacies of the system, and more what type of people get elected

They don't intend for there to be a "next" administration.

Let's hope they aren't

US apparently also quit providing intel to Ukraine. Sorry for the Dutch link as source, best to use a browser translator on it.

They ARE halting operations against Russia. Factual and official.
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/02/politics/us-cyber-operations-russia-suspend/index.htmlAnd now, after stopping military aid, they've announced they would no longer provide Ukraine with intel. So these patrol are no longer an action against Russia, given they won't be used in military operations. Another big win for Russia. Again factual and official.
Next step is apparently lifting sanctions against Russia

This would provide Russia with a desperately needed source of income while economists were speculating that its economy was at risk of a complete collapse in 2025. So Trump is hurrying a relief there.Do they need to send military aid to Russia directly before we can claim they switched side?

To me it looks like they didn't stop shit

Ok, let's make sense out of this
- The US gov announced very officially they stopped providing military aid to Ukraine.
- The US gov announced very officially they stop provivding intelligence to Ukraine.
- Trump asked very openly for a draft on lifting sanctions on Russia.
But they got some planes flying over the black sea, that collect intel, the same intel they said won't be shared with Ukraine therefore will not be used against Russia interests whatsoever, and that's your evidence to claim their actions are ambiguous?
I was wrong. They CAN supply Russia with weapons and you'll claim it's still ambiguous. Actually, they can probably bomb Ukraine themselves as much as a certain individual can shoot someone on the 5th avenue without losing a single supporter.-

How many times US government announced they were working to stop the genocide in gaza but were actually fueling it?
But they got some planes flying over the black sea
They have been flying fleets of planes near russia since the war started, probably even before that but not many were watching.
