Despite all the bluster about him being pro-Russia, has Trump actually done anything meaningful different in terms of providing Ukraine aid? Seems like the war is going more or less the same as it was under Biden.
He stopped giving away military equipment directly to Ukraine for free. He now sells it to NATO who gives it to Ukraine for free, which has shifted a large portion of the cost of the war from the US to Europe. This was already the plan under Biden though as well, and had already begun under him. Europeans can get mad at Trump for shifting the cost of the war onto them, without being critical of the war itself. A great way to launder it by Trumpwashing the unpopular aspects like budget cuts to social services.
Look, we didn't want to cut your meemaws pension and healthcare but the Russians are invading and attacking Western Civilization, and also the evil dictator Trump (our ally btw) forced the costs onto us unfairly because he's a Russian puppet!
I think there was a moment where he briefly relaxed some restrictions on purchasing Russian oil to minimize some immediate crisis related to the war on Iran. Libs were pretty worked up and acted like he had killed Zelensky.
I mean Biden had already started reducing the amount of munitions going to Ukraine largely so they could get sent to the Zionist entity instead.
He was mean to Zelensky for not wearing a suit that one time
I keep challenging Russiagaters on this and have yet to receive adequate response. Trump has set out these past three years to topple or subvert Russian allies and has successfully done so in Syria and Venezuela, is currently attacking Iran and Cuba, and Russia hasn't done much of anything to stop any of it despite supposedly being the puppeteer behind the curtains, and they can't explain how this helps Russia at all, conveniently it's all just benefiting the US agenda.
Trump has no filter and let it be known that he personally likes strongman political leaders, and libs have no political analysis besides great man theory so they can't concieve of the president's personal feelings not moving the needle on the country's actual policies. If they admitted that Trump liking Putin didn't change anything significant about the country's foreign policy wrt Russia, they might be lead to question what systems are in place that actually drive American antagonism towards it and other countries.
Now that's a truth bomb right there
He briefly halted the supply of some certain weapon over concern US stockpiles were running low
US halts weapons shipments to Ukraine over fears its stockpiles are too low https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/02/us-halts-ukraine-weapons-shipments article from july 2 2025
and resumed them about a week later
US has resumed military supplies to Ukraine, Zelensky says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crl04200dp4o article from july 11 2025
Of course their were also brief halts in 'lethal aid' under the biden regime also https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/18/white-house-ukraine-military-lethal-weapons-495169
I was gonna say, outside of him bungling Iran, Trump's foreign policy has more or less been business as usual.
What's about Venezuela, NATO, Greenland, tariffs and .. you now all the wacky dumb shit he has done?
Venezuela was US foreign policy business as usual. All the EU countries are still spending absurd amounts of money on “defense” like good little bootlickers.
He's not actually gonna invade Greenland.
Venezuela was like Iran in he's doing what the US imperialist machine was already doing but faster and dumber.
What about them? Maduro was a socialist, do you think kidnapping him is something Xi and Kim(or most sovereign nations that aren't US vassals) would be in favour of? or that democratic politicians hadn't being calling for his removal for years?
Greenland he said some wacky shit, what did he actually do there? a few vassals may bark, but at the end of the day do you see them removing US bases and nuclear assets from their territory over the threat? Threatening to remove a few thousands troops from Germany you could argue is something(if it actually happens, seems like bluster at this point), but as long as NATO countries remain suzeraintes that allow US bases and any level of their troops to be stationed on their territory, and most importantly still allow the deployment of its nuclear umbrella then NATO maintains is structure with the US on top, and continues its main function: Keep China and Russia out, keep the Europeans in and down
And if you think Xi is for trumps tariffs when they have negatively China's trade and he's explicitly condemned them on the world stage multiple times, or that Putin is happy about the increased tariffs and sanctions trump as imposed on Russia then you need to seriously reorient your geopolitical thinking
