Summary

Donald Trump defended Russia’s massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine that followed his administration’s halt to intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv, saying Putin was “doing what anybody would do.”

Trump told reporters he finds it “easier” to work with Russia than Ukraine, claiming Putin “wants to end the war.”

While threatening vague sanctions against Russia on social media, Trump’s actual actions have targeted Ukraine, including cutting off military supplies and disabling Ukraine’s access to satellite imagery.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered battlefield setbacks as a direct result of these U.S. policy changes.

    Okay let’s game this out then. If you had a president who is stomping on your civil rights, tearing down the safety net, and crashing your economy - what is it that ‘anyone would do’?

          Just saying a person’s name isn’t the threshold, this isn’t reddit. But no, calling for violence on .world typically results in mod action.

        Oof.

        Glad I left that instance. Mods need to grow some spines and stop censoring things just because people complain.

        We already have the tools to ignore others.
