The Wall Street Journal had reported that Ukraine had given in to pressure from the White House to stop bombing Russian energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian officials, however, told the Kyiv Independent newspaper that they never agreed to a demand from Jared Kushner, the US president’s son-in-law, to pause refinery strikes for 30 days. The raids on Russia restarted on Friday, Kremlin officials said, complaining that Kyiv was now “simply ignoring” US wishes.
Trump has blamed the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for the rise in global fuel prices, and last month lifted US sanctions on Russian diesel.
Like I’ve always said. Ignore Trump and wait for the US to get a real leader again
The problems with the US go deeper than just their leadership. The country flings its arms open wide and gleefully embraces fascism every 4 or 8 years and this is getting even worse as technofascist corporations gain more and more control over ever branch of US government.
No country should ever trust the US again until it undergoes some serious internal changes.
The inevitable conclusion of capitalism is oligarchy. “But with regulations it’s ok!”- yeah, the only way to make capitalism not enslave and kill us all is to inhibit capitalism from performing its natural function.
unfortunately there is limited and diminishing confidence that americans will do the right thing. Winston Churchill once said that americans will always do the right thing … after they’ve tried everything else. I’m not sure the world can survive waiting while america tries everything else. We’ll be well into WWIII .
