Donald Trump still has not learned a thing from his conversations with Vladimir Putin. Instead of ending all US military and intelligence assistance given to Ukraine, Trump is now doing a Joe Biden impersonation by announcing that he is going to send more weapons to Ukraine. During a public portion of his meeting with Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu on July 7, Trump said the following about Ukraine:
We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now.”
This announcement came just days after his administration had paused certain weapons shipments to Ukraine, citing concerns about US military stockpiles. This is crazy. The problem with shortages of US stockpiles has not gone away. Trump has a habit of saying things for public consumption, but then never following through. Remember when he threatened to hit BRICS countries with 100% tariffs?
