Ukraine brought halts to military aid, intelligence sharing 'on themselves,' Kellogg says

[Playingmantis]

U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, suggested on March 6 that Ukraine was to blame for the U.S. halting military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv, saying that the embattled nation "brought it on themselves."

The Trump administration halted U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine this week following a heated exchange between Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky on Feb. 28. The decision are likely intended to put pressure on Zelensky in peace talks

The halt in military aid leaves over $1 billion in weapons and ammunition undelivered to Kyiv, while the pause in intelligence sharing affects warnings against Russian drones and missiles striking Ukrainian military and civilian targets, Ukrainian and U.S. officials told the New York Times.

"The best way I can describe it is sort of like hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose," Kellogg said during a panel at the Council on Foreign Relations. "You got their attention."

“Trump had a real question about whether President Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said let’s pause,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe said on March 5.

7. Sickening - I utterly despise his brand of casual, smart-arse cruelty

He was hissed by the audience so that's a tiny something I suppose.

"Very candidly, they brought it on themselves," Kellogg responded, to hisses from the audience.

13. These people are fucking garbage bags

14. All because

Zel wouldn't suck up to rump, wouldn't concede his country's sovereign territory, and pointed out that Russia is the aggressor. He correctly stated on camera, that his country required security guarantees and that Russia has broken every one of their solemn promises not to violate agreements. He basically contradicted rumpy, who continues to say that first comes the steal of Ukraine's rare earth metals, and then the possibility of permanent security. Would any of us accept such terms? This was doomed from the start. Still, it was worth a shot.

We saw what rump is really like. He is really vicious. We saw what Vance is like. He's a sychophant following rumpy. Neither one of these two men offer any sort of leadership or any type of security for our own country.

We have to get them out. We won't survive 4 years of this. He's getting ready to off Iran. I don't like Iran, and I think they are a real troublemaker, but is this the way? And, he's going around picking on weaker countries, just an embarrassing bully.

My heart breaks for Ukraine. They didn't ask for any of this. I think NATO better arm up at a quicker pace. We are still part of NATO, but I don't think anyone will come to defend us if we need help. Maybe they can defend Ukraine.
