President Volodimir Zelensky and his unwavering allies of the European Union may be pleased to hear Donald Trump say he is irritated and constantly erupting with his “bulldy” Vladimir Putin regarding his decision to once again overturn his stance on war with Ukraine and military shipments to missile-burning nations.
But Trump’s ongoing changes regarding Putin and the Putin before and after, are sometimes called his “friends”, and others are threatened with sanctions and shipments of weapons to Ukraine.
Written by journalist and war-themed author Fred Kaplan. article Slate, qualified “Trump’s latest Ukraine reversal reveals the disturbing truth about the administration.” He said, “I had no idea how much no one was in charge. Kaplan essentially describes the Trump administration as “the clown car (it) continues to sputter, with speed bumps, red lights, fire truck sirens and other warning signs of dangers and detours.”
“Why don’t you tell me?”
As an example of what the clown Trump and his cabinet look like, he said, “Take the latest mindbenders.
And Kaplan is very right, pointing out that there was no clue that the Pentagon stopped shipping its arms to Ukraine as Russia fired thousands of missiles and drone strikes across Ukraine, killing dozens and causing chaos.
Very pointy Disputed claims Analysts have said Pentagon boss Pete Hegses will no longer be able to send shipments to Ukraine as it puts US wartime stockpiles at risk of “dangerous” depletion.
What’s worse, after a call with Putin, after telling him he had no intention of stopping his attacks on Ukraine, Trump told Zelensky he was not responsible for halting the shipment of weapons to Ukraine. Even more frighteningly, Trump, the commander of the US military chief, insisted there were no clues that the weapons and cargo had stopped.
On Tuesday, Hegses sat next to him, reiterating that Trump had no idea who ordered a pause last week with weapons shipments. “Why don’t you tell me?” Trump jokingly told reporters.
“So what’s going on here? Trump was lying to Zelensky, Trump had forgotten his arm cutoff. He had forgotten an order reportedly issued for a long time by this president’s density measure of newsmaking. All questions by Kaplan.
2.4 trillion dollars in military contracts
Kaplan is right to ask these questions. New research U.S. Department of Defense spending shows the Pentagon has spent more than $2.4 trillion.
Additionally, a report from the Quincy Institute for Responsible, Responsible Statistics and War Projects at Brown University said the Trump administration’s new Pentagon budget will drive US military spending annually above the $1 trillion mark.
Anyway, Zelensky said the US president on Monday said he must send more military equipment to war-torn countries at least for now, and until Trump decides to make another U-turn on his stance on the Russian-Ukraine war. According to To the AP.
“We need to (send weapons to Ukraine),” Trump said. “They have to be able to defend themselves. They are hit very hard right now. We’re going to send some weapons – primarily defensive weapons.”
“Putin is killing a lot of people.”
Shortly after Trump sought more military equipment for Kiev, the Pentagon confirmed it would resume shipping weapons to Ukraine.
Trump later vented his growing frustration with Putin again. Trump is struggling to find a solution to peace between Ukraine and Russia. “Putin kills a lot of people… His soldiers and their soldiers, most of them, now up to 7,000 yen per week,” Trump said. “I’m not happy with him at all.”
Following these comments, Senator Lindsey Graham said Trump had made him shine green to advance a bill calling for co-sponsors to call 500% tariffs on goods imported from countries where he continues to buy Russian oil. The move will have a major impact on two major economic forces importing Russian crude oil: China and India.
