Not to defend Trump action but he never promised to help Ukraine

    We signed an agreement with Russia and Ukraine, promising Ukraine military defence in exchange for them giving up their nukes. Russia also promised to never attack Ukraine. We made an agreement that we're morally obligated to follow.

    Ripping away Starlink was a betrayal, was it not?

    Right. Fair. Trump was always Ukraine's enemy.

    Right now America is betraying Ukraine by letting Trump do this.

    Unfortunately, there's nothing our political system can do about it at least until the midterms, but hopefully we'll see some real change after that.
