Any fat chance that Trump's capitulation to Ukraine over the Patriot missiles

is quid for some other pro quo? Like, maybe he has important Republican Congressmen willing to cut off any investigation into the Epstein issue?

I just suddenly thought, that just maybe, he wouldn't have been so bold, unless he knew that Congress would be reined in.

i think there is a corollary situation with trump…he can’t allow the war to end because then we could focus more on trump (epstein, etc)

let me know when those Patriot missiles arrive in Ukraine, and let me know when more sanctions are placed on Russia.

Didn't Krasnov give Putin 50 days?
