Military observer Roman Bochkala reports a major shakeup in the Pentagon's Ukraine team: all officials responsible for the Ukrainian track have been fired, suspended, or reassigned.
Bochkala calls it a "complete reboot" with a "new format of relations."

(20,054 posts)The German RCH 155. One of the most technologically advanced artillery systems on the planet. The ultimate in shoot and scoot is soon to be deployed to Ukraine. Ukrainians are currently training with it.
Plus, Europe is serious about ammunition.

The EU and other NATO and AsiaPac allies are picking up the mantle. No reason they can't. They're big enough and rich enough. We, on the other hand, are highly unreliable.

(11,256 posts)Absolutely no more intelligence, satellite surveillance, money defense systems, or weapons to help them. Or for that matter anyone in NATO, esp in Europe........
Trump's getting back in to office, with Putin's help, is Putin's Wet Dream...............

(39,202 posts)$500 million in aid went to them right before his term ended.
With less than two weeks left in office, the Biden administration is announcing its final shipment of weapons for Ukraine. The administration believes nearly all of this $500 million worth of weapons will arrive before the inauguration of Donald Trump, whose Ukraine envoy today said they will aim to negotiate an end to the war within Trump's first 100 days in office.

(35,363 posts)several million was funneled to Ukraine. It’s supposed to be enough to keep them in the fight for a year. He also released frozen Russian oligarch money here in the US for Ukraine…to the tune of 300 billion.
Ukraine will NOT be left to fall. President Zelensky and the EU knowing this may happen have made lots of contingency plans over the last year to take up the slack. The EU has also released frozen Russian oligarch money for Ukraine’s use.
The EU knows what their up against and are not about to let putin overrun Europe.

Any intelligence provided by trump's people would be less than trustworthy.
As the old saying around here goes, everything that trump touches dies.

(65,580 posts)You are 100% correct.
Trump will kill all of Ukraine if he can.

(39,202 posts)Yes, it's sickening but so is everything else he's done today.
I hate it that we are once again unreliable. We're a "sometimesy" country, due to our erratic politics.
