At this point, what matters is that the aid to Ukraine is not only back, but it is also bigger. I am guessing that the summer offensive planned by Ruzzia is going to be met with sufficient force while the attacks of oil, weapons and military targets is getting better. I would not be surprised if Ukraine pull another "IKEA delivery" to another airfield in Ruzzia. Or maybe to the fleet in the Baltic.

Or maybe unicorns will appear and let Ukrainian soldiers ride them into a battle? Where does it say that the aid is "bigger" and bigger than what? All i could fine is 'So we’re sending some defensive weapons, and I’ve approved that,” Trump told journalists Tuesday.' is that your wishful thinking that changed some to bigger? How long before Trump pauses it again, just to test morale of Ukrainian soldiers for the 3rd time.

Glad you agree you were wrong when you said that the US was cutting the aid. Do you remember or need a quote?

You can absolutely hope for a Trump turn around - I do not blame you, it is difficult to follow the guy, as long as you clearly understand that it is your hope, not what is happening. You have difficulties with that.

Bigger in the sense that Trump is now sending aid that was not previously approved by Biden, this means that the gates have opened for the POTUS discrectionary weapons aid.

I still think the US is playing with Ruzzia and there is not de-facto difference between Trump and Biden on that. One thing is what they say, another is what they do = and that is exactly the same, sending more weapons to make sure Ruzzia bangs the head into a broken economy,

But US did cut the aid. Simply look at how much aid US has committed to Ukraine under Biden in 2022, 2023, 2024 and now in the first half of 2025 under Trump? Haha oh is that's how you want to redefine the word "bigger" to fit your narrative? So in 2024 Biden signed a $61.3 billion aid to Ukraine, now Trump is talking about maybe sending $500 million and that's totally "bigger" than Biden because...reasons. What a hilarious attempt Cheesy

Yes no differences in approach to Ukraine between Trump and Biden at all. So everyone agrees that we just need Trump to continue what he's doing.

And further, Trump is making NATO or Europe buy the military aid the US is offering, and then get it to Ukraine however they can. The funny thing about this, now that it is hitting their pocketbook, NATO and European countries are mostly backing down... or they simply don't have the money.

Cool
