US to send Patriot air defense system to Ukraine as furious Trump blasts two-faced Putin: 'He talks nice, then bombs everybody' [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Donald Trump ![]() announced on Sunday he will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine in its war against Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked for more defensive capabilities to fend off a daily barrage of missile and drone attacks from Russia. 'We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because [Russian President Vladimir] Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening,' Trump told news hounds at Joint Base Andrews just outside of Washington DC. 'But there's a little bit of a problem there. I don't like it,' he said. 'We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military equipment. They are going to pay us 100 percent for that, and that's the way we want it,' Trump said. The stunning announcement comes just days after it was revealed that the president told a private meeting he once warned Putin he would 'bomb the **** out of Moscow' if he were to attack Ukraine. Apparently in reference to his first term, Trump said: 'With Putin I said, "If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the **** out of Moscow. I'm telling you I have no choice."'

Guterres Reacts to Trump's Threats to Impose Anti-Russian Sanctions Anything that will help the ceasefire is important, but it must be done in accordance with international law. This is how UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres commented on US President Donald Trump's threats to impose new sanctions against Russiaon July 14. "We absolutely need an immediate ceasefire that would pave the way for a political solution based on the Charter, international law and the various resolutions of UN bodies. Anything that can help achieve these goals will of course be important, if, of course, it is done in accordance with international law," he said at a press conference. Earlier in the day, Trump said he was unhappy with the delays in resolving the conflict in Ukraine and threatened to impose secondary tariffs of 100% on goods from Russia if progress was not made in the next 50 days. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 14, Trump emphasized that he was still committed to a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict and expressed confidence that Washington would not impose new anti-Russian sanctions. According to the head of the White House, Russia has incredible potential, including in the area of trade. |

#2 Crap. More free crap to nations that hate our guts. Israel excepted, they need our aid to continue to exist. And Israel has a right to exist! As has been said many times, the billions we give Israel every year come right back to us in the form of arms sales to Raytheon and Boeing. Constantly mention this to the antisemites that want to cut off aid. These weapons factories are good jobs for Americans. Soul-crushing, repetitive strain injury-causing, good old factories that Americans assure us they love working in. |
