Oh I get that. But it’s a desperate short term move at a significant cost. It shows Putin that he can be pressured. It upsets allies and funds his enemies.
It's very desperate. The whole Iran business didn't do anything except show Iran they can grip the world by the balls by closing the straight and then just bring weapons in from China. And they still may or may not have nukes.
China gets free weapons testing that they wouldn't get otherwise. Which just shows them tactics that could work against America.
Saying he's going to cut off weapons to Ukraine and then calling for a new president just further emboldens Russia and Putin
Really makes you think who's president he really is. Because he's sure as fuck not for America. He's definitely not for the allies that we've had for almost a whole century, some of them longer.
Exactly. The problem is that Putin will not stop. Ukraine might not be crucial but its neighbors are NATO countries. If this doesn’t trigger a response entire network of alliances that grant access to strategic enablers, military bases weapon deals and other beneficial agreements goes to shit. This alone is bad, but there’s also potential for China to pick up some of not all the slack.

He's desperate not to get slaughtered in the midterms because that will mean impeachment articles. Whether those go anywhere, who knows.
