Trump didn’t mince words when he called Zelensky “a dictator without elections,” and questioned why he estimates that the U.S. has spent over $350 BILLION on the war in Ukraine, and Zelensky claims half of the funds are “missing.” This, after Zelensky accused Trump of falling for Russian propaganda, being stuck in a “disinformation bubble,” and he claimed that Ukraine is “not for sale.”
Scott Ritter, a former UN Weapons Inspector and U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, noted that the divide we are seeing over support for Ukraine has the power to lead to the “collapse” of the NATO alliance, as Trump distances himself from Europe and chooses to pursue normalization with Russia… while politicians from the EU and the UK gather to pout and argue over the next steps for Kiev.
