President Donald Trump has halted all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky just days after a tense Oval Office exchange cast doubt on U.S. support for its key ally.

A senior Defense Department official, who spoke anonymously about internal discussions, told Bloomberg News that the aid freeze will remain in place until Trump determines that Ukraine’s leadership is making a genuine effort toward peace.

  1. Consider what would have happened if the United States cut off all aid for the British Empire in summer of 1940. World War II would have ended, with no American losses and no major expenditures borne by American taxpayers. The world would have been at peace, and there is a good chance that Canada would have wanted to join the United States (the alternative being to join Britain as a province of the Third Reich).

  2. Pretty soon, Trump will be sending aid to Putin. Because Putin is a peace loving guy. It’s really a beautiful thing, a great guy possibly, probably, one of the greatest leaders.

  3. Anchuldiks, behave, he’s a Jew…
    Anyways trump has gone way to far on this… The truth is, Putin is not a nice guy, and he doesn’t like the west, and if he wins the war in Ukraine, will be happy to go further…

  4. He lost his political wit the USA never was happy about anything but them lazy selves wouldn’t give NATO a dime they only fought Germany after attacked from Japan, America was only interested in dominance of its dollar and economy, him closing the doors to the NATO will cause a economical crash unless the lady from Italy the prime minister can calm him down NATO will get their own peace and economy without the USA, so you have this big trump talker that thinks he is the only righteous person on earth, boycott brics and everybody on the planet and it’s going to leave us with just land we live on and trillions of dept, if BRICS didn’t crush the dollar then Trump will do it by himself, Putin or North Korea will not stop there they will go on to make more trouble, but it’s trouble for us this time

  5. Nixon, Ford, Carter etc. only did strengthen Russia with their detente’ policy, and crumbled American confidence as they “tiptoed on eggshells” around communist leaders. It was Reagans’ strong stance that brought the curtain down. Trump is either scared of Putin or loves the idea of a ring of dictators running the world. When he says Ukraine started this war he shows that the passed decade of bashing “fake news” was only necessary for his road to power. I don’t understand people who say this war is a stalemate; does Assad in Syria get overthrown without Russia being weakened, who knows how a stronger Russia may have affected Israel – Hamas רמ״ל, does trump not realize that Russia is allies with Iran; the country that wants him killed (perhaps trump is being selfishly scared and wants to break that alliance to attack Iran). I’m just davening that we don’t regret this too much in the future. This is an utter disrespect to the free world.
    Ps. I voted for trump as far as Israel, economy, and immigration and think he’s doing a great job with those.

  6. And just like that, you see that sending unlimited waste to Ukraine was more of a world priority than having Israel eliminate terrorists. But when Bush gave land to Putin, or when Obama gave huge bits of land to Putin that was ok.
    But Trump ending paying for other peoples wars…oh no!

  7. Could it be that Trump is trying to placate poootin so that he doesn’t end up on poootin’s list of rub-outs? Think of all those that we do know of – not the ones that we don’t know of – who just died of natural causes because they were not on poootin’s side?

  8. It’s a case of cutting your nose to spite your face.
    If Trump stops military aid to Ukraine, Putin will be the winner. Whom is he punishing? Only himself.
