Sorry Dawn, but if you are. supporting your claim that Trump never supported the Trump-backing members of the House who were blocking passage of the military aid bill for Ukraine is a piece by the Center for a New American Security, a cesspool filled with retired military brass and a hodgepodge of aging neocons and neoliberals bent on ginning up Cold War 2.0, you won't convince me. It was clear that Trump didn't want passage of anything to help Ukraine (and I say that as someone who thinks that providing aid to UIkraine to prolong the fightin in that country is not a moral or even logical act. It is using Ukrainians to fight and die while "bleeding" Russia and weakening it so that the country will colapse and fall further apart than it did in 1990. The proper thing to do is for the US to stop trying to move Nato up to Russia's border all the way from Finland and down to Rumania or maybe Turkey and Iran. If Trump changed his tune to support the aid to Ukraine, it won't be because he's a brilliant geopoliticfian, but because he's a ma with no ideology beyond getting rich, scoring pussy and having his ego stroked. Besides which his position on the Gaza conflict is worse than Biden's if that is possible.

Actually, Trump did not support the Republican minority working to prevent the $61bn deal for Ukraine aid from passing. Mr. "No Endless Wars" just became Mr. "I'm Flexible" on Ukraine. https://www.cnas.org/publications/video/trump-allows-us-ukraine-aid-bill-to-pass

Why would Trump do this? Please write about this. Thank you.
