    The simplest explanation is that the US in not an ally of Ukraine (or Europe).

    It was an ally before the Trump came.

    I'm not so sure the US was a proper ally of Europe (there has long been overt talk in the US about Europe as a competitor and a lot of effort from US sources to try and weaken the EU with for example funding campaigning for Brexit) but I do believe that before Trump the US was an ally of Ukraine.

    Trump knows Russia is helping Iran, but there's nothing he can do to stop it.

    Shouldnt he be happy that Iran is taking Russian resources away from the war?

    Trump's war in Iran diverted weapons away from Ukraine (which were already bought and paid for by Europe), to be used in Iran. It also increased the global price of oil and gas, which benefits Russia because they can now sell their oil at that higher price.

    I have seen this topic before and I don't understand what the importance of the issue is. Isn't the USA sharing intelligence with Ukraine? I suppose that Russia sharing information with Iran is what is expected in the situation and what could anyone do to prevent it?

    You're thinking morality when he's talking strategy.

    I still don't understand the importance, what change in strategy should the United States make knowing this? does they need to confirm it? Because for me it is obvious that Russia shares information with Iran, it was obvious that it was going to happen before starting the war and there is nothing at any level that the USA can do beyond saying, oh boy, what bad luck is mine

    Trump is a friend of Putin. Rather a submissive. So it is weird that Russia helps Iran but Trump doesn't react to this.

    It's not weird at all. Trump will never do anything to oppose Putin besides talk. And talk is cheap, especially when it's coming from Trump.

    I think it's more like a boss / employee relationship.

    No, Putin is sitting on a large pile of "pee tapes" and US dances when it's told to.

    Russia does not exactly "help" Iran, they back-stabbed them on several occasions. A more accurate description would be that Russia supports Iran to the extent that it serves its own agenda.

    Again, the orange-faced bastard is but a running dog for the Kremlin, and sure it's an open secret on the streets of Kyiv.

    A headline like that really doesn't mean anything. The commander-in-chief lives in his little bubble with his dementia and his narcissism. Then people in the military have their own information, most of which is presumably more accurate than the big boss's brain.

    Trying to speculate about what Donald believes or knows is an exercise in futility because he's a strong narcissist who's getting dementia. He believes in whatever he believes at that exact moment and it has nothing to do with the past or the future or reality, and if you haven't been around people like that, it's hard to understand, but you have to stop expecting them to have a normal brain. Logic doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Reason doesn't apply.
