Summary

The Trump’s administration is reshaping U.S. policy on Ukraine and NATO.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ruled out Ukraine’s NATO membership and full territorial restoration, while JD Vance suggested possible U.S. military action against Russia.

Trump held his first call with Vladimir Putin and proposed ceasefire talks. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought a deal for U.S. access to Ukraine’s natural resources.

Trump also demanded NATO allies increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, raising tensions with European leaders.

      Trump sent Vance because he’s a lazy fuck who didn’t want to bother with it himself.

        Are you concerned that Vance was assigned to Ukraine to help address the conflict? Ultimately, the focus should be on ensuring the task is accomplished, regardless of who is leading the effort.

          Vance, trump, no difference. They’re both traitor filth who will sell us out for personal gain. And that means giving up Ukraine, in part if not in whole, to the blyats.

            We have not achieved meaningful progress in Ukraine; in fact, President Biden’s actions have led to significant consequences, including the allocation of billions in support to Ukraine, which has, in turn, contributed to an escalation of tensions and Russia’s territorial gains. This situation might have been avoided had President Trump been in office, as his approach prioritized de-escalation and peace, in contrast to the previous administration’s escalation tactics.

        The felon is too weak and demented to do anything else than sign documents.

        He is a weak figurehead for the billionaires and it’s his handlers that decide his agenda.

        The longer we get into his term the more clear it will be that gramps should be in a nursing home.
