A new move by the Trump administration is likely to upset Moscow and will be difficult for the media to spin as being friendly toward Putin as the Pentagon has reportedly sent more money to arm Ukraine.
“In a move likely to irk Moscow, the Pentagon has released $200M in new security assistance to Ukraine days after the Trump-Putin meeting, according to US & Ukrainian officials,” CNN reporter Ryan Browne tweeted. “The funds will go toward counter-artillery radars, vehicles, night vision, comms, & medical equipment.”
From my own personal experience, when you are the two bad asses in the gym, and everyone else is there for spin class, you become friends/allies.
I will submit deplorables have more in common with Russia than any other country. I think Putin and Trump communicate weekly, if not daily. I think all of this is well orchestrated.
Putin is a back stabbing poisoner. You wouldn’t like the outcome of any geopolitical arrangement that Russia has a hand in creating.
I’ve been in both countries. Ukrainians attitudes are much more compatible with Americans and they like us much more than do Russians.
Trump has no illusions who he’s dealing with although the dems would like to push that narrative.
Besides Trump we have some wiley old salts keeping their eyes out.
We should stop using the names “THE Ukraine” and “THE Crimea:. That implies a Soviet controlled region.
It’s Ukraine and Crimea.
