Russia-Ukraine war has begun

Call me naive but I wonder what Putin would do if a united Europe said we’re coming to Ukraine on such-and-such-a-date and the Russian army better be gone or you’re at war with us.

That would be big-boy politics.
 
I wonder how much money Ukraine could raise from private citizens around the world if they started a GoFundMe type of way to easily contribute, if administered by some independent entity.

I bet it would be massive.
I'd be shocked if something like that did not already exist.
 
Guardian reports the "pause" on military aid includes all equipment in transit that's not already physically in Ukraine. In other words, there are things currently sitting in Poland that we sent to Ukraine that they can't have now. They are just going to sit there, taunting them.
What gives Trump the power to do this?
 
I'm guessing the bill that approved the aid to Ukraine gave the President some discretion in delivering it/choosing it?
This is usually the case, but limits and conditions are also usually included. Most often an explanation for an action like this is required. I don't know what the limits, conditions or explanation requirements are, but most Presidents (all except one) use their authority judiciously and explain why they're doing what they're doing.
 
Right now, Putin is probably reevaluating his plans to cease-fire. Why not just go ahead and take all of Ukraine? Probably regretting not starting this war when Trump took office a month ago so he could just walk in for real without any American back up to Ukraine.

No, no, no. Putin is only doing what he's doing because weak-ass Biden empowered him. Now, Trump is helpless to stop it.
 
And Don has now announced more sanctions and tariffs against Russia possibly coming in response.
Putin’s smart as hell. He snickers at Ego Man’s whimpering threats. Like Trudeau with electricity, he knows he can close the oil pipeline to Europe whenever he wants.

Ego Man may have screwed the pooch and Russian poochies have sifilis.
 
Sounds like a good idea to strip all Intel from Ukraine now.
It's absolutely nuts. It's almost as if we're telling Russia to go ahead and roll through Ukraine. We shouldn't be weaking the position of our partner nation against a US adversary before the negotiations really begin negotiations on a plan to end the war, but we are doing exactly that.

Ukraine has always been the brains behind the Orcs weapons. If we don't give either intel, how is that being anything but neutral?
