      Their ability to bomb* the oil depots is probably related to their starlink/starshield access. 🥺

        Did you read the article? It specifically says that’s not the case and so the Starlink disruption does not affect that.

    In an un-fucking-believable move, the Americans stopped sharing intelligence and disabled Starlink’s military services, rendering Ukraine completely defenseless against Russian ballistic missiles just prior to a major attack.

    This coming shortly after the US essentially negated its economic sanctions on Russian diesel and once again pressured Kyiv to unilaterally cease its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, even as Russia ramps up their own attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

    Trump is now publically aiding the Russians in their aggression against Ukraine and Europe

    Trump is a traitor. He should be treated as such.

    I really hope the Ukrainians can continue winning the war without it.

      Trump is a traitor, and he is insane and a liar and corrupt and has dementia.
      But other than that, everything is fine. 🤥 🤡

      1. They abandoned their nukes on a promise that USA would protect them.
      2. They are defending democracy against a totalitarian regime. Something USA claims to support.
      3. They are fighting against Russia that is undermining USA and allies.
      4. They are buying weapons through the coalition of the willing at a 10% surcharge from USA. All weapons to Ukraine are taxed an extra 10! by Trump, so USA is making huge profits from Ukraine!!!
      5. They have supported most of Trumps peace proposals, it is Putin that refuse to negotiate anything but complete surrender.
      6. Ukraine supported Trumps idea of NOT bombing energy infrastructure and actually stopped. Except it was only within hours that Russia attacked another Ukrainian power plant!

      If I was moderator here, you would be insta perma banned from all subs I moderated!

      Keeps the russians at bay and fights for democratic values. Which then leads to people buying american products and oil. This was well understood decades ago, you need to catch up with the times

        the current orangatang clearly does not want the russians at bay, nor does it care about democratic values. I just dislike the term “betrayed” when it should have been obvious to everyone that the US was eventually going to stop helping them.

          Not necessarily - it’s just that apparently everyone involved, except maybe Ukraine, seems to have thought the war would be over by now.

      Why does Ukraine need to do something for the US in order for the US to help Ukraine defend itself from the goddamn Russians?

      Do you only help people with the expectation of personal gain?

    Days after they warned of Russia’s growing satellite capabilities. Donald Trump should be tried and hanged for this shit.

    Everyone is acting as if this hasn’t been prepared for and doesn’t have contingency. Still a betrayal, but an expected one by political and military leaders.

    Online commentators aren’t the only people who are able to foresee this
