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.
Imperialist and expansionist Russia and U.S.
Terrible journalist slop. Putting the blatant lies in the article, not refuting it with the facts that the fuel price increase is a direct consequence from the usa starting a war with Iran.
Weeeell they are reporting on the he said she said but without stating truthfulness. Technically accurate, practically useless for whoever doesn’t have any context
Good hunting, Slava Ukraini
I’m sorry, there was some kind of agreement?
All i’ve seen is a senile old pedophile yelling stuff.
He basically said stop hitting russian refineries and in return we stop giving you interceptors regardless. It’s the retarded version of carrot and a stick but without the carrot
Good. Any defiance aimed at that fascist is a net positive for the planet.
I wish we in Europe could get our shit together and support Ukraine properly so they don’t have to rely on the senile clown anymore.
GOOD
Slava Ukraini!
Nothing new here I don’t think. Ukraine has always said they are open to an energy ceasefire. If the orange fuckwit wants it to happen he’ll have to get Putin’s dick out of his mouth for long enough to beg him to agree to it.
Ukraine is doing math here. If they stop, trump may be seen as peace maker and wins votes. Trump is a putin ally basically at this point. If they go on they weaken their enemy AND may shift elections to a more moderate candidate in the US by elevated gas prices.
Of course this could go tits up if they lose international support. Destruction of northstream might have helped anti ukraine parties rise in germany. But regarding infrastructure inside russia i think they can only win.
Lol at the idea of Germany giving up on Ukraine, they will deserve the Russian invasion at that point if they do
Unfortunately Germans tend to get very dense when it gets to some political stuff. 🌝
Some simply don’t get what is so controversial about building Nordstream in the first place and how it undermines their independence (and I don’t just mean energy independence).
They have Gerhard Schröder as a clearest example of someone given a share in Russian gas sales, but Nordstream is just “two countries doing business, is buying energy from France also undermining our independence?”.
At this point?
At what point wasn’t he?
I hate to give him some small credit, but they have sent weapons and intelligence even during this term, even if it has been up and down.
Yes, they have sent intelligence and yes, they have sent weapons even if they haven’t paid for them themselves. The USA was doing much more before, but it could be much worse with them restricting access to their military industrial complex.
So lets be real about what they still do and allow, Ukraine would be in more trouble without access to e.g. new Patriot missiles. But without forgetting about the USA being unreliable, untrustworthy and treacherous to point of it not supporting its own allies.
Trump will go into history as the president who sat on his hands while he had the chance to permanently neuter a decades old ideological enemy.
Among other pants-on-head moronic moronic bullshit of course.
If only he was just sitting on his hands
We had the chance to gather ALL the intel on how a modern, land-based war is fought, get some risk-free practice in and crush Russia. Fuck me.
Russia is not an ideological threat to America in any way shape or form.
Tankies are traitors within. Regressive spambots and election manipulation overwhelmingly come from Putin’s influence. Russia absolutely is an ideological threat.
And they hate LGBT people
Not with the current clowns in charge obviously.
Fuck Trump. Honestly, best advice is to do the opposite of what Trump says.
Heck, if Trump said the sky was blue, I’d have to double check it actually was.
Fuck ‘em up, boys
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.
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 .
The War That Solved Climate Change
I don’t think you should be discounting the Iran war like that. Unless you’re combining them both with whatever other conflicts that are bound to come up into a WW2.5 if not a full blown WW3.
