Exactly. So couldn't they provide satellite intel to Ukraine?
Russia-Ukraine war has begun
- Thread starter TheOriginalHappyGoat

If you watched Admiral Stavridis he said the areas NATO would struggle most with without the US would include "... intel and space operations... ."
It is the overall Intel that I assume is the problem. So while they can provide it, is it as good?
Collapse of the Ukrainian invaders in Kursk appears imminent. This represents one of Ukraine’s only bargaining chips in a potential peace negotiation.
Compounded with roll back of U.S. support in recent days means we are likely watching the beginning of the end for the NATO experiment in Ukraine.

Ukraine, US to hold talks on Russia-Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia next week
Zelenskyy re-engages with Washington after Trump said Kyiv and Moscow have no choice but to secure a peace deal.
Sen Graham is right on this one:

“Until we have a ceasefire, I would give Ukraine what they need in terms of intelligence and weapons to defend themselves,” Graham said.

Trump's negotiating MO -- carrots that are far more beneficial for him than you, sticks that are scorched earth....take your pick -- probably works well enough for real estate development. But it doesn't translate well to war and peace or trade policy.

He is right. But I'd be very surprised if Trump agrees with this approach.
I honestly don't think that he relishes the Ukrainian deaths. But I honestly do think that he sits back, watches them happen, and thinks "Hey Zelenskyy, are you ready to take my deal yet?" And so long as Zelenskyy doesn't, then he'll not only continue applying the heat...he'll find new ways to turn it up.
There is one person that gets things wrong more than outside shitter, that is Graham. He is the most pandering, get on board, then off politician that I can recall. Waist of O2! And we keep voting him in.
He isn't the problem, but he wins while describing it and it is him!

Here's a fairly comprehensive overview that you've probably already seen but I thought others might find it interesting...
Things are looking grim for Ukraine according to that (but they've been looking grim for 3+ years and they seem to keep pulling the proverbial rabbit out of the hat...).
I am suspect that a week's worth of stopping aid would mean an instantaneous defeat of Ukraine's front line capabilities.We're actively degrading Ukraine's ability to defend itself:

I'm pretty sure they have enough reserves to last a while before the stoppage takes full effect.
I'm sure some areas would struggle, but satellite information is still being provided to Ukraine.
I'm not going to get caught up in the panic I'm sure Ukraine would like to induce to help their cause.
I'm all in favor of providing as much aid as Ukraine needs, but I know if I was in Ukraine's shoes, I'd try to paint as dire a picture as I can to get the aid turned back on.
Now that the US doesn't have leverage over what targets to strike, Ukraine may bring the war home to a lot more Russians.
Europe's chance to step in and fill the void.
