    The first line of the article is: “Ukraine has reportedly secured private backing from the White House for an intensified diplomatic and military campaign aimed at forcing Russia into meaningful peace negotiations, The Kyiv Independent reported on June 23.”

    That’s short on specifics, but it broadly sounds like what you’re asking for.

      Per this report, here’s the problem:

      The EU has had to dramatically increase its support for Ukraine to cover the country’s loss of financial support from the U.S.

      After Couchfucker’s crowing about stopping all monetary support and their shameful behavior towards Zelenskyy at the White House last year, I highly doubt it’s anything of substance on the order of billions of dollars.

      If so, great. But the demented rapist is known for only talking shit and fucking things up, so without specifics and money in hand I’m not buying much of it.

        None of this is a monolith, the US department of “war” is one of the largest employers on earth. Contradictions abound and though Trump and Vance are on Putin’s side they only have so much political capacity to clearly sabotage Ukraine before it threatens to topple the political party that repeatedly betrays Ukraine… which is the limit we are approaching and in many ways have surpassed.

        Remember, cowards always jump ship to the winning side once they feel their bet is an unpopular one, that is what makes them cowards.
