I reserve comment whether this is really a pivot. A true pivot would be to accelerate any remaining items previously delayed, publicly thrashing Hegseth for cancellation of shipments, removal of the recent sanction reductions, and selling items directly to Ukraine (wouldn’t that make sense to protect the minerals deal?).
Good point, Chuck. Also the 50 days leaves a lot of time for Putin to maneuver. I don't care much about selling the items directly - it makes sense, but as long as Ukraine gets them....
Right now I’m curious if there’s ever going to be any pushback for diplomacy by violent mood swing. Not knowing if decisions are made using strategy or raw unpredictable emotions is exhausting.
Good news. Consistency in policy will go a long way toward a resolution in Ukraine. A strong united stand by the US and western allies supplying arms will show Putin some resolve. Anything short will accomplish nothing but more death. Now stay the course.
