It is impossible to understand why President Trump and Vice President Vance seem determined to put more pressure on President Zelensky while they seem to be coddling Putin - the person who inflicted this terrible war in Ukraine.

Seems very clear now that the lines have been drawn: Europe stands with Ukraine. The US will likely cut off military support and capitulate to Russian demands. A catastrophic scenario

This is the moment the US aligns itself with a Russian dictator who has worked every min to kill US global dominance. And we are doing it for him. therecord.media/hegseth-orders…

It’s time for cool heads and to remember that the US and Ukraine are on the same side. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has led his people heroically for three years against completely unprovoked aggression from Russia. The bravery of the Ukrainians has been amazing. Their suffering has

Russia has attacked Ukraines energy infrastructure relentlessly causing mass civilian damage and casualties. US cutting this humanitarian support has nothing to do with peace - it’s sacrifice of innocent lives and de facto support for Russian war crimes nbcnews.com/politics/state…

"Vance was demanding that Zelens'kyi thank Trump for aid that the Biden administration gave to Ukraine, and which the Trump people were threatening to take away -- and indeed at that point had almost certainly already decided to take away." open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/t…

We need to make sure that Russia doesn’t attack again. And for that, we need to put political and economic pressure on Russia to stop this war, and at the same time, also help Ukraine defend itself. Extract from my interview Face The Nation ↓

The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/

As always great analysis from Michael Kofman - the other side of the halt in US mil aid is that Europe will now have to find the money (since it doesn't have the weapons) fast - best place to start use the $300 BILLION is Russian assets

The CCP is the biggest long-term external threat to the U.S.—propping up Russia, Iran, and North Korea while exploiting global conflicts for its own gain. We must stop China’s unfair trade practices, expose its human rights abuses, and stand firm against its growing influence.

Congressman Congressman Nathaniel Moran is right: China is the big competitor to the US. But make no mistake: by legitimizing Putin's war against Ukr by cutting support to Ukr and loosening sanction on Russia, we are only encouraging the CCP to move on Taiwan

Congressman Mike Lawler (@repmikelawler) 's Twitter Profile Photo

It’s alarming that Russia and Iran deepened their military cooperation last year as Iran was escalating their conflict with Israel. This is exactly why we must continue to stand firm against adversaries who threaten the global security of the U.S. and our allies.

Russia isn't just pounding Ukraine on the battlefield, it is purposely targeting civilians far away from the line of contact. Moscow is doing this because the US has undermined Ukr ability to fight and it believes the US won't push back either. Now is the time to prove them wrong

Timing couldn’t be worse for the EU to announce fines on Google and Apple when the alliance is already under massive stress on trade and defense. Why pour more fuel on the fire on tech cooperation? digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commis…

POTUS is right: Putin has no interest in peace. Russia under Putin has broken almost every agreement they have ever signed. There is no reason to trust them now. Important that the president called Putin out directly. politico.com/news/2025/04/2…

The VPs comments on Russia - that the Russians are asking for too much - are right on point and track with a shift in how other Admin officials, including the President, have taken a more critical approach to Russia reuters.com/world/europe/a…
