That’s not quite the equivalence you think it is.

WaPo, no.
That’s I’ll all I’ll say to avoid politics.
Changing the terms after providing aid isn’t cool and shouldn’t happen. I don’t care how you feel about the terms the last guy made.

So who has funded Ukrainian war efforts the most ?
The European Union and individual European countries had collectively[ committed far more] total wartime military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine through December (about $258 billion) than the US had committed (about $124 billion), according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German think tank that closely tracks wartime aid to Ukraine.
EU almost 2 to 1 over US.

If we do not stand with Ukraine and call Putin a dictator, no ally will ever trust us. Watching this administrations spokespeople twist into pretzels to not call Putin a dictator over the last week is just cowardly.

Not sure I’ve ever been THIS embarrassed about a US foreign policy move.

Oh I think there will be more embarrassment. The only thing more nauseating than the US’s actions on the world stage as they betray allies going forward, will be the gobbledygook the apologists spew justifying it.

(Reuters) - U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine’s critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country’s access to Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Ukraine is already preparing to be cut off and has a contingency plan.

It’s of the plain and simple textbook variety that only an idiot or maybe a slightly brainwashed cult member can ignore.
Or maybe gaslighting really works.
Love British witt sometimes.
Not quite as good as an american …but up there.

Wrong information…again.
This is from…2024,…May, 2024 not even February 2025.
Again this information is from May 2024.
As of today Zelensky is on its way to sign an agreement giving us access to rare metals and minerals thus engaging in a partnership and guaranteeing Ukraine sovereignty. That is the best possible outcome.
This war should have never started. Anyone that knows about European history knows that this war could have been stopped prior to…2014, yes 2014. We are in 2025.
What happened prior to 2014?
What happened past 2016?
What happened in 2022?
Who was in charge?
What types of military strategy was in place in these time periods?
Why is it that all of a sudden Zelensky is ready to sign an accord to end this war?
I will let you answer these questions. I am not even mentioning NATO and what we/The U.S. has been doing with NATO since 1990. You are interested by NATO and 1990? Look it up.

Y’all aren’t comparing apples to apples. There is what went to Ukraine and what the US govt was considering related to Ukraine. They aren’t the same thing.
…and up to today we still do not have a full accountability of these expenses. That in itself is unbelievable.
The hopeful good news is that this war is going to end soon.
If it’s ended without Russia making real concessions and feeling some pain, we aren’t ending anything. Jmo

How do you know they are not making concessions? You and I are not part of these negotiations.
