Trump has stated he will cut American aid to Ukraine, which makes a majority of total aid. Recently Zelensky stated that if Ukraine’s only hope for sovereignty is its own nuclear arsenal, they will build it.

    Because?

    This is the whole russian ethos, you must give them everything they want, because they don’t care.

    It’s like the idiot who threatens to eat his own shit, and then does it.

    We get that they have less respect for themselves and peace, but we learned a long time ago that giving in to those people doesn’t win peace, only more war, because you’re rewarding their behavior.

    It is an absolutely credible threat that we could wipe out the entire Russian armed forces with a fraction of our power, and they know that.

    You honestly think they pushed so hard to get Trump in power for no reason? We are the only thing holding them back.
