Trump is in talks with Russia to end the war

[xuenchen]

What's going on here? Is Trump sending Ukraine more weapons or not?

"The Trump administration is in the eye of a storm after the Pentagon announced last week that it would hold back some air defence missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons pledged to Ukraine because of concerns that American stockpiles were running short on supply.
 Reports emerged that US defence secretary Pete Hegseth did not tell the White House before pausing those weapons shipments, but the Pentagon denied that Hegseth acted without consulting the president.
 
Trump made a U-turn on Monday and said the US will have to send more weapons to Ukraine, effectively reversing the move, as he showed signs of growing frustration with the Russian leader."

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump ‘blindsided’ by Pentagon’s decision to halt weapons to Kyiv as he pledges more arms

If the corruption ends in Ukraine, maybe they can get the fighting stopped. 

NATO screwed it up at the start, so why not fix it now?

So NATO jets were scrambled. And then stood down. So what?  What's your point?

Happens a lot.  Even here in the UK when Russia regularly probes our airspace with (What's left) of their Bears.

Nobody is talking about corruption in Ukraine, but you.

What they are talking about is that Trump is pissed with Putin and wants to give weapons to Ukraine; another reversal. And the Pentagon says that U.S. military stockpiles are low, so not to give them to Ukraine, but to Israel (?) is that still okay? And that the missiles are needed to derail Houthi rebels causing commerce/economic problems for the U.S. and other countries in the region there.

I guess time will tell.

Sure have been a lot of Russian oligarchs falling out of upper floor windows or otherwise suiciding.  No corruption there, though....

So does that mean Putin is going above and beyond normal oligarchy greed, such as world domination?

Now the game begins

"Trump" and "corruption" mentioned in the same sentence. Without a trace of irony.  Wowsers...

"US President Donald Trump has said he will slash the 50-day deadline he gave for Russia’s Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine by weeks, to just “10 or 12 days” from now. But does a shorter deadline make a difference at all, if, as Trump says, his Russian counterpart has already made up his mind to not make peace? CNN contributor and former CNN Moscow bureau chief Jill Dougherty weighs in."
