    Trying to avoid the draft is nothing new in every country. In Ukraine It’s the law but I’m hearing they can avoid the draft if they have bone spurs.

    Unlike Putin, Zelensky is by legal definition a dictator. If they held an election the Russian held territories containing the Russian-speakers wouldn't even be voting. Yet Zelensky is still afraid of the voters.

    Zelensky ran on a "peace with Russia" platform and he stated he would honor the Minsk agreements. He lied. Zelensky represents the corrupt Deep State and the George Soros globalists. He should have been dwarf-tossed from the Oval Office

    US pauses military aid to Ukraine, says White House


    Bloomberg reported that all U.S. military equipment not currently in Ukraine would be paused, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships or waiting in transit areas in Poland.

    It added that Trump ordered Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to execute the pause.

    I wonder if Russian generals will order an encirclement counteroffensive. Now would be the time to do it.

    Ukraine’s Zelenskyy says end of war with Russia is ‘very, very far away’

    “I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship,” Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington’s support for the past three years of war.

    “I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America” to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.

    If only war was as simple as ordering it so. Why not start with an “order” to gain air superiority?

    It’s an interesting link but wholly unrelated to my post. I was only discussing why virtually any ship attempting to dock in an enemy port could be a legitimate target.

    Ok, but Trump has done what you said you didn’t think he would do. Now what? I thought the military would be fully in Ukraine’s court but several people in my brother’s squadron are all about humiliating Ukraine. I see no sense in it other than a genesis in tribalism.

    Either way it’s quickly becoming a lot easier for Russia to do it. You also have to consider that they have planned accordingly for this for quite some time now.
