For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

Will Trump Abandon Ukraine? The 2025 National Security Strategy

WILL TRUMP ABANDON UKRAINE TO FOCUS ON OTHER THINGS? The 2025 National Security Strategy reframes how the United States defines its global commitments — and that places Ukraine in a new strategic context. In this video, we break down the document’s key themes, analyze how they align with Trump’s stated positions, and explore whether this Strategy makes a pivot away from Ukraine more likely.

We look at the Strategy’s assumptions about great-power competition, burden-sharing, global resource allocation, and shifting regional priorities — and how each one could influence the next administration’s decisions.

If you’ve wondered whether U.S. policy is preparing the ground for a major change, this Strategy may contain the clearest clues yet.

General Ben Hodges - It’s Not A Stalemate: Ukraine Just Shattered Russia’s Last Remaining Hope

The world just witnessed something unthinkable. A leaked document has exposed exactly how deeply foreign influence seeped into American power, revealing a reckless policy failure that ignored reality. Retired General Ben Hodges sounds the alarm on this vacuum of awareness in Washington, but this political failure is only half the story. On the battlefield, a much darker reality has emerged for the Kremlin.

As we close out 2025, new data from the front lines confirms that Russia’s war machine is not just stalling—it is collapsing. The Russian military doctrine, built entirely around the dominance of artillery, has been shattered. The "God of War" is dead.

This video dives deep into the shocking statistics released in late November 2025. Ukraine has destroyed over 13,000 Russian artillery systems in a single year, obliterating records and leaving Moscow scrambling. We analyze how Ukrainian FPV drones and precision strikes have neutralized Russia’s massive advantage, turning steel columns into scrap metal.

While Putin attempts to bridge the gap with North Korean ammunition, reports confirm these shells are degrading and dangerous, often exploding before they even reach the target. With barrel production stalled by sanctions and stockpiles of towed artillery dropping from 12,000 to barely functional relics, the strategic landscape of the war has fundamentally changed.

Discover the truth about the rate of attrition, the failure of Soviet-era barrels, and why military analysts now predict that Russia’s firepower advantage will be completely neutralized. This is the breakdown of how Ukraine’s innovation defeated Russia’s brute force.

There is a reason why Witkoff-Kushner clandestinely try to betray Ukraine and this is due to the overwhelming support of the American people for Ukraine. The Reagan National Defense Survey polled following numbers:

64% are in favor sending Ukraine military aid to Ukraine. This are record numbers since the start of Russia's full scale invasion in February 2022.

65% support sending long range weapons such as Tomahawks cruise missiles.

59% of all Republicans support sending military aid to Ukraine. 75% of all Democrats supports this, as well.

45% of US-Americans support full liberation of all of Ukraine (only 23% are against it). 22% support a cease fire along the line of contact.

Those numbers are quite concerning for the Trump administration. It shows that betraying Ukraine would come at high costs. Together with the devastating numbers in reference to economy and prices this might prove fatal for the upcoming midterms.

Speaking personally, it's why I will be voting Democrat in the mid-terms. It might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but this is improtamt enough to me that my vote has changed and its now switching back

Ukraine is drafting women. They don't need big muscles to push buttons on drone controls, but Ukraine needs a birthrate to have a future.

A solid report from Denys:

In all probability, Russia's won't work. They wuldn't dare use them, because if they do and it doesn;t work, they are toast

Correction - under previous administrations they would have been toast. Under Trump, doubt has entered the equation, meaning nuclear use is more likely. Another reason Trump needs to go. Jeb Bush is looking a more viable alternative by the day. Unfortunately.

They have 3,000 nukes... all what they need is to hit 24 capitals of EU ( Plus London) and EU ( and UK) are done. So even if 2975 were duds, it will still be enough. As to low-energy Jeb is concerned? It is all in his nick name

........ but Ukraine needs a birthrate to have a future.

Don't worry, the victorious army will take care of that as victorious armies did over the Millenia

LOL int this case it'll eb the Chinese - so many Russian men are feeding sunflowers that the Chinese male-female imbalance is being corrected by the large scale importation of Russian wives

Ukraine is drafting women. They don't need big muscles to push buttons on drone controls, but Ukraine needs a birthrate to have a future.

They can worry about that later -- if we can import Russian brides, so can they. Ukraine needs to win this war to have a future.

Literally fields of dead Russian zombie-soldiers. The hate Putin has for Ukraine which drives him to sacrifice so many Russians is sickening.

The hate Trump has for Ukraine which drive shim to assist Putin is even more sickening.

Again with the $350 billion lie. He just cannot stop.

And on top of that, this is not the brag he thinks it is.

Donald Trump just claimed again that the US donated 350 Billion dollars to Ukraine.

You are being lied to by your sitting President on the United States of America.

Let’s break this down with the facts rather than these random numbers Donnie is brain-farting out after finishing his nap.

Independent tracking by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy estimated that between January 24, 2022 and June 30, 2025, U.S committed aid to Ukraine amounted to about $134 billion, not $350 billion….it gets better. Already a $166 Billion dollar difference than what Trump claims.

Please understand committed and allocated isn’t the same as what has actually been delivered.

56% ($74.9 billion USD) of all funds “allocated not supplied” were for weapons.

HOWEVER the $74.9 of weapons (Allocated and not necessarily all provided) were independently evaluated and subsequently massively overvalued by the US Government. The True cost of lethal aid was predicted to cost around $18.3 billion even by United States weapons pricing.

One reason: when equipment is drawn from existing U.S. inventories “drawdown”, the official accounting often uses replacement-cost valuations, rather than the original (or depreciated) cost.

To put it plainly, if you give Ukraine one air defense system, you account for the cost of a brand new air defense system to take its place not for the cost of the 45 year old system that was handed over.

Many of the weapons provided to Ukraine was soon to be destroyed by the US forces or decommissioned.

ALSO it’s important to take note as we all know the American arms industry massively overvalues the cost of all systems due to its industry. America prices its systems at anything from 30-100% higher than the cost of European equivalents with the same capabilities. The true value of these weapons could have been anything from $5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion.

Even with a significantly lower number, Independent analysts suggested that a large share perhaps 60% or more of the nominal military-aid dollar amount may effectively stay within U.S. defense industry…..60%!

Out of aid provided, $54 Billions dollars was Financial aid consisting of grants, loans, budget support.

Of the US $54.0 billion in U.S. financial-aid allocations for that period, about US $19.3 billion was provided as loans, while roughly US $29.7 billion was given as grants.

That means approximately 39–40% of the U.S. financial aid during that time was structured as loans or other repayable/concessional financing.

The US $3.4 Billion in Humanitarian aid.

Here is another kicker. After everything I have just said. According to United states press briefings: the U.S. had only delivered around 83% of promised ammunition, about 67% of pledged air-defence systems, and roughly 60% of committed bombs, artillery rounds, other munitions.

$5.49 billion-$18.3 Billion
$29.7 billion
$3.4 Billion

That $350 Billion is looking more like it was 38.59- 51.4 billion to me Donnie.

And it’s a funny number that.

An estimated $30–60 billion dollars was spent by Americans allies fighting alongside the US after 9/11. This included Ukraine.

We never once complained about this loss or the lives we lost.

Absolutely shameful.

Zelensky tossing the back back to Trump - if the US and Europe provide security for the vote, Ukraine can hold elections within 60 days

That means US abd European boots on the ground so that the Army can vote. Nice. Somehow I cannot see Trump dping tis. He will bluster and threaten and fuck around but he won't do it and he'll prtend there is now issue



Oh dear, there went Trumo's brain fart. Now he needs to work on Russia to convince them to actually recognize that Ukraine actually IS a state and that Ukrainian elections ARE valid. But that's too complicated for the Putin's shit-for-brains buddy to understand.

 

[ChloeTzang]

So when's Trump going to put pressure on Putin to hold a real election?

Ukraine has started using the "Sapsan" operational-tactical missile system equipped with ballistic missiles, - Zelensky.

"There were many moments when our enemies thought, 'They're going to use the 'Neptune' cruise missiles - let them try'."

"Today, Ukraine is already using cruise missiles - 'Neptune', 'Palanitsa', 'Flamingo', and the ballistic missile 'Sapsan'. I won't comment on the numbers - I don't want our enemies to know all the details. The 'Neptunes' are really working well."

Another one bites the dust

This was Russia's last An-22 cargo aircraft—yes, a Cold War relic they were still using on the front lines. It didn’t get shot down. It fell apart from overuse. That’s the state of Russia’s army: 50-year-old hardware literally crumbling in mid-air.

You have to love feel-good news

TACO's peace proposal is that Ukraine is forced to give up Donbas. In exchange the USA will not support Ukraine and will not give any guarantees. The Art of the Steal

This situation is truly beyond ridiculous. Every time Trump attempts to push a Ukraine surrender deal (masked as a "peace plan") and fails, he becomes visibly furious with Ukraine, and often Zelenskyy personally. He insists on pushing his ever more ridiculous demands, yet nothing is working. Logic dictates he should be applying pressure to the invaders, the people who willingly chose this war every single day, unlike Ukraine, who is simply forced to defend itself. Instead, he just grows hysterical, making ridiculous claims that Zelenskyy "didn't read his plan" or similar nonsense.

We seem to be stuck in the fourth cycle of this exact behavior. We need t get to the mid-terms fast so Trump and Vance can both be impeached.

Oh, and for what its worth, “Half of Europeans see Trump as Europe's enemy” - The Guardian

"EUROPE'S “FINANCIAL NUCLEAR BOMB” IS NOW ARMED"

Some European circles are discussing the potential of selling their collective U.S. Treasury holdings as a "nuclear option" deterrent if U.S. President Trump attempts to finalize a Ukraine peace deal that favors Russia.

The concept centers on Europe's collective holdings of U.S. Treasuries, estimated at around $2.34 trillion

This includes roughly $1.62 trillion held by EU member states and $722 billion by the United Kingdom.

Proponents argue that a coordinated sell-off either rapid or staged could trigger severe market disruptions, including dollar depreciation, spiking U.S. interest rates, liquidity shortages in banks and funds, and inflationary pressures potentially worse than the 2008 financial crisis.

Several European leaders are ready to act. The meeting yesterday between Macron, Merz, Starmer and Zelensky suggests that something is about to happen.

An economic catastrophe is looming.......
