U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.

A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.

    You’re either not understanding the intent of their message or you’re willfully twisting it.

    How i’m twisting anything? To me it looks like you are try to twist things here accusing me of being in bad faith when i simply pointed out yet another discrimination against “russians” as if they were all bad. Are you aware that there are russian people living in ukraine?

      you aware that there are russian people

      Some of them are getting shot. The ones belonging to an army who is invading. The random resident who immigrated is not being shot

      How a statement such as “they are shooting Russians on the spot” discriminatory? It’s a statement, not even a call to do that. Stop embarrassing yourself, take the L and just close this post, PD.

        “they are shooting italians on the spot”

        “they are shooting americans on the spot”

        “they are shooting egyptians on the spot”

        Replace the country with yours and perhaps you can understand how russian people may find it discriminatory

          Ci fai o ci sei?

          If someone said “in Afghanistan they were shooting Italians on the spot” I wouldn’t find it discriminatory, because I am not an idiot, and I can immediately understand that they refer to the people who went there as a foreign army, not to random Italians.

          It’s so ridiculous that you are still here arguing about this, and you know why? Because you could have made the same argument about Ukrainians. OP said that Ukrainians are shooting Russians on the spot. Do you think OP meant that all Ukrainians are shooting all Russians? Do you think he meant that 2 yo Ukrainians, take out the pacifier to shoot the random Russian person who works at the local shop and is there for 20 years? Or maybe the obvious message was that Ukrainian army is shooting Russians (in the invading army) on the spot?

          No no, let’s go and divert attention on a useless conversation for a sentence that was obvious even to rocks.


          In any case, do you understand that stating a fact is not discriminatory? OP didn’t say “I hope they kill every Russian”, he they said “they are shooting”, which can’t be discriminatory if it’s a fact. Reality is not discriminatory. At most it could be false.

            “in slovenia they were shooting Italians on the spot”

            It’s so ridiculous that you are still here arguing about this, and you know why?

            You know what’s ridiculous? Having to change the subject to their country to make people realize that they are being racist

              In fact it’s not racist even in that case.

              Stating a fact can’t be racist, even if the meaning is that people were being shot due to their nationality. Nice gotcha, I have used like 3 times examples with Italians to show that this has nothing to do with racism. “You need to use their country to make them realize!”. (Also, this reeks of E ALLORA LE FOIBEE!?!?!)

              Do you want to claim that Ukrainians are ethnically cleansing Russians? Do that. Provide your argument and do that. Don’t go bust the balls of people who say sentences that have nothing to do with that, that clearly don’t advocate for that or celebrate that.

                  I can try all the atlas. It’s not a matter of which country. I am contesting the principle.
