Listening to Secretary of Rubio saying Ukraine and Russia need to reach a deal quickly because US patience is limited,

Makes me think the Trump Administration is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin. Russia invaded Ukraine with a plan to take Kiev and the US expects Ukraine to just cede territory for peace. What makes you think Putin would honor such an agreement? Russia promised Ukraine security before after it gave up its nuclear weapons, but violated that pledge by invading.

criticized for not solving his promised solution. He tends to back away from shouldering any blame.
We can expect a lot more of this from not only him, but his accolytes.
We are in a puzzle working to escape.

Ukraine needs to continue working with the EU nations, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and anyone else willing to help strengthen their defense and continue the fight against Putin and his Orcs.

The White House and much of the Republican politicians are owned by Putin.

I'm almost sure Trump is trying to DOGE Ukraine (so to speak)

(btw, I now use DOGE like Homer Simpson uses "DOH". I think Homer uses it when he does something stupid)
