I'm sorry, but you have a six-year-old kid in charge! Trump risks Ukrainian lives only to pamper his narcissism.

Officials say the halt in assistance is a warning to the Ukrainians of the consequences of not cooperating with the president.

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK March 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. has paused intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, CIA Director John Ratcliffe said on Wednesday, piling pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to cooperate with U.S. President Donald Trump in convening peace talks with Russia.
The suspension, which could cost lives by hurting Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian missile strikes, followed a halt this week to U.S. military aid to Kyiv. It underscores Trump's willingness to play hardball with an ally as he pivots to a more conciliatory approach to Moscow from previously strong U.S. support for Ukraine.

Between Musk disabling Starlink and Trump withholding intel, it's without doubt that the US admin is bent on surrendering Ukraine.

And before that - cut off any cyber ops against Russia:

The U.S. Cyber Command is pausing its offensive operations against Russia. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the decision, which was confirmed Monday by a U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive operations.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi also has disbanded an FBI task force focused on foreign influence campaigns, like those Russia used to target U.S. elections in the past. And more than a dozen people who worked on election security at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were put on leave.

Yes, after Selensky wrote Trump an apology and pleased his narcissism ...

On the other hand, I just read in a news ticker here that there are American negotiators on their way to Russia. Why must I think about Ribbentrop when I read those lines?

Poland never will rise again in the form of the Versailles treaty. That is guaranteed not only by Germany, but also ... Russia.
