Its hilarious watching Trump fumble about because he boxed himself in as the self styled greatest deal maker in history. His 2 weapons, tariffs and bullying, and hes failed at both so far. A reporter aaked him how he was going to shield consumers from price gouging if he continues with the tariff fiasco, his response, attack Biden for not getting any DEALS done. He’s in way over his head, a conman like this will get found out pretty quickly when it comes to high level diplomacy, evidence of which we’ve just witnessed.
Trump
This woman said it better than I ever could

Snouts in the trough and all that 
Definitely not a conflict of interest though.
Anyone surprised he’s cut off military aid? No. Thought not. I’m sure funky will have a wonderful excuse for this around how it ‘forces Zelensky to the table’ or some such bollocks. The most excruciating part is Trump is still polling relatively well inside the insulated mess that is America.
All of this could have been avoided if Zelensky had said thank you.
Millsy the deal with Putin is already done - Zelensky has put a fly in the ointment by not playing ball - it’s so painfully obvious and set up. That Friday press confeeence was like something from Jerry Springer
What would have been foolish and a conflict of interest would be to continue transferring $50bn a year into perpetuating an unwinnable conflict on foreign soil while the rich countries on that continent sit back and cheer them on.
If they sign a deal to extract the rare earths then you have an alignment of interests - a quid pro quo - that allows the US to justify their ongoing involvement in keeping the peace on another continent
Millsy its blackmail, simple

Millsy Why do we need a America for everything many would like the US to fuck off, it is a European war did you really expect the funding to go on indefinitely. Defence spending is now on the cards again within Europe and they finally see the importance again. Russia before the war had an economy the size of Italy, what is it now? Realistically UK, France and Germany should be able to handle Russia. If peace is achieved the defence spending across Europe will hopefully scare him off trying it again and hopefully he just dies off. I do however still expect a peace deal in which US backs European security, and if there are US citizens there for the minerals, Putin will realise that if he attacks again there will be ww3. All is not lost even though many outlets are looking to up the rhetoric.
1.6B deal for missiles out of Belfast is 2.5% of our gdp its huge.
I just read some reports that stated no EU leader or Zelensky himself has been told that the aid is cut and that it’s business as normal. The feeling right now is that Trump has floated it with the media and his “followers” to put pressure on Zelensky to take the minerals deal. The actions of a fucking brat. Please God make it backfire on him.
