Where is the outrage in America about this shameful betrayal by Trump? Where are the Senators and Members of Congress who cheered Zelensky when he addressed them, but are now too afraid of Trump to say a word in defence of Ukraine?
At least 20 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just this night by Russian missiles and drones. Hundreds of soldiers were killed on the frontline in recent days. These are the first results of the US suspension of military aid and intelligence to Ukraine: more deaths

The sanctions are ineffective, since in 2024 the volume of Russian imports to the US amounted to only $3 billion. Russia has learned to circumvent sanctions, especially financial ones, Bolton said.

🇺🇸⚠️ Former Trump National Security Advisor Bolton called US sanctions threats against Russia meaningless, calling them a simple attempt to appear "balanced" in relation to Ukraine.

Many people know this already, but for those who don't: when Elon Musk attacks a person by name on X, this leads to that person getting real-life threats of violence from some of Musk's crazy followers.

OK, Trump and Elon have now called for a WaPo columnist and a WSJ reporter to be fired. This is an open and raw attack on freedom of speech in America. The entire “Free Speech!” shtick of these guys was a joke all along.
