    While Nato’s Rutte said in a recent press briefing he was arranging a more structural delivery (procurement) system and other news sites talked even of new equipment? Not sure what’s going on.# Ed

      Other than Trump being a Russian asset, and always has been one? This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody.

        And yet. Most of the country doesn’t know.

        Most of the country still watches ads like it’s 1996.

    I wouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet. Maybe the communication channel was compromised or so.

    We’ll probably hear what’s really going on soon.

    I hope trump doesn’t use the weapons to needlessly attack Venezuela or some shit. Another war is the last thing the world needs right now.

    If anyone think USA will stop weapons supplies to Ukraine paid by Europe, that is very unlikely, because those weapons are sold at a 10% premium to Europe to give to Ukraine. And it would be political suicide for Trump to stop that deal, as it has zero negative effect for USA, and it yields huge profits both to American weapons industry, and the 10% surcharge goes directly to the federal budget. So everybody in congress is very happy with this arrangement, and most of congress actually wants to help Ukraine.
    So ending this arrangement would be very risky for the Trump administration.
