America has a unique chance to significantly weaken its traditional enemies, Russia, Iran and North Korea, without losing a single US soldier, simply by arming and supporting Ukraine enough.
One should think this would indeed be in Americas interest?
But instead they attack their closest allies... 🙄

Reuters reports the U.S. is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace deal by threatening to cut off weapons and intelligence support. Sources say the pressure is heavier than ever, with Washington pushing for a signature by next Thursday.

Helpful reminder that both Kyiv and its European partners can safely ignore Trump's pushes for a bad peace deal.
Keep in mind that since this year, it is us Europeans who pay for all the aid to Ukraine. Nothing comes from the U.S since Trump became president. We even pay for the American weapons bought for Ukraine.
