It's almost as if Trump is on the side of the Russians. Who does this to an ally in the middle of a hot war? It's like poking a stick in their eyes.

***The US stopped providing the intelligence that’s helped Ukraine target Russian forces in Moscow’s three-year war as President Donald Trump’s administration escalates a standoff with Kyiv.

The halt covers all the intelligence except for what Ukraine needs to protect its forces, according to a US official familiar with the decision, who spoke under the condition of anonymity.

US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz signaled that intelligence-sharing was among the items on the table after Trump suspended military assistance to Ukraine this week, even as he expressed optimism that negotiators could revive a natural-resources deal the White House sees as crucial to resolving the war.

“We have taken a step back and are pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship,” Waltz told reporters in Washington.

Trump reminds me of a 1970s leftist-pacifist: He sees "war" as the enemy and seeks "peace", while waving away questions of who is the aggressor and who is the victim.

Yes, what's being done now to Ukraine, to force it to accept our ideas of terms for peace: coercion plus open sabotage. We are behaving like thugs.

Nice country you've got there. Would be a pity if something happened to it...
