    The US has recently warned it would walk away from negotiations if progress was not made.

    Aren’t negotiations typically between the two parties involved in the conflict? Who the fuck cares if the US walks away? The US currently provides nothing to Ukraine. Take away everything from nothing and you still have nothing. Why is this story even reported?

      NATO is a military organisation which is led by the United States. The war started from expansion threats by NATO against Russia; or in other words, the war is NATO vs. Russia.

      As NATO is and long has been led by the USA, the Commander-in-Chief of the USA speaks for them.

      (As for why, if it’s NATO vs. Russia, NATO haven’t gone all-in? Because they could very easily start World War III that way, and no one is very keen on doing that.

      Oh, and also because they don’t give a fuck about East Slavs.)

      Yeah, but who’s going to supply Ukraine with weapons, ammo, intel? Who is preventing Musk from turning off Starlink? Trump has repeatedly tried to push the narrative that sees Zelenskyy as the one with blood-stained hands.
