In the news:
- US stops ALL weapon deliveries to Ukraine
- US will no longer provide satellite intelligence data to AFU
That is unlikely to be true.

From day one this has been a NATO versus Russia war but a proxy war using Ukraine; and it's objective was to keep Russia in a very LONG war that exhausts all their resources and weakens Russia as much as possible. Many US regime officials have said that they will "fight Russia to the last Ukrainian".
I don't see any reason or indication that this objective has changed. Not even slightly.

That means they will continue sending weapons to Ukraine, but only enough to keep them in this war not help them win or change the balance. Ask the Poles, they'd tell you that the US weapons delivery has slowed down (since US ran out of weapons and aren't producing them fast enough) but it is still flowing...

The shenanigans of Trump these days is not to halt weapon delivery or intelligence supply to their proxy Ukraine. But it is to first force Europeans to spend more so that he can decrease his expenses and second to put pressure on Ukraine to literally sell their country to the US regime (including the minerals deal that Zelensky was ordered to sign and he recently obeyed that order) so that he can increase his revenue therefore hope to decrease the massive budget deficit he is facing.
Is there anyone who really thinks that this war is Ukraine VS Russia instead of US/NATO vs Russia? By the way, what they say is very different from what they actually do but too many things don't make sense here without further explanation. Why did US allow Russia to do what it does? First, there was war against Georgia, then Against Crimea (Ukraine) and then again, against the whole Ukraine. They let Russia to collect resources for the war, which is now draining of course but I wonder whether China helps Russia or not. Russians are also different breed. While Europeans don't want to come out of comfort zone and love their stable salary and good healthcare, Russians don't care much about that, they are willing to eat the cheapest thing in order to achieve what they want (this is the conclusion that I made, might be wrong but doesn't apply every Russian).

By the way, I also think that Trump wants to spend less and force Europe to spend more but I think that this is an indicator of the US no longer being capable to be a leader worldwide. If Europe spends more in military and gets stronger, it won't be the best thing that USA wants.
