U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.
A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.
The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.
Edit: changed source from Bloomberg to Kyiv Independent b/c there’s no paywall and more detail in the story.
I am not new, but I have a skill that you might find useful, it’s called “context”.
Because there is no any racial generalization. From the context it was clear to anybody who is in good faith what OP meant. Even if it wasn’t, OP comment was a statement on what is happening, so your remark “I hope they don’t…” doesn’t make any fucking sense, because you can just check what they are doing. Currently Russians in Ukraine that are being shot are invading troops.
So let’s make a parallel. “Partisans were shooting germans”, in the context of Italian resistance. Do you think it’s a racist remark? Would you feel the need to say " oh boy, I hope they don’t shoot German civilians", “oh, there are ethnical Germans in the north, I hope they are not shooting them”. No you wouldn’t, because what you are doing is not in good faith, you are not raising any valid concern, you are just purposefully misunderstanding OP to stir shit.
partisans were shooting germans troops, soldiers or the nazi they weren’t “shooting every german on the spot"
No shit, so you do understand that if someone said the sentence quoted in the context of resistance, every person with a pulse will understand “they are shooting German troops soldiers or the Nazi” and not “every person with a German passport, who spoke German, etc.”?
Because you are being that obtuse person that would point out how that is a “racist discrimination” and that there were Germans living in Italy at the time. We all know why you are doing it, I keep answering just for fun. I know it, you know it, we are all discussing about nothing, because you know very well what OP meant, if nothing else because I know that Italian public education is at least decent and you know at least how to read.
We know that because we are describing a well documented war that happened in the past. If you were to come out with that quote in 1943 people would think they are shooting at everyone who is german.
You say i’m obtuse but i’m going to throw the ball back at you: you have to be obtuse not to notice the discrimination russians people are going under as a result of their government wrongdoings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Russian_sentiment
Dude, I live in Estonia for 10 years, in a russian-speaking district. Unlike you, I understand russophobia. This conversation is completely out of place in the context of OP statement. You are trying to discuss stuff that is completely irrelevant to what OP said. You are here to stir shit, to make the moral about russophobia in a post where nothing like that was present. Again, if you didn’t purposefully try to misinterpret OP’s sentence, you would understand that in the context the sentence was clearly meant for Russian soldiers part of an invading force, and hating and shooting them has nothing to do with Russophobia. Please, give me a sign you understand this basic concept.
Lemmy is filled with racism against russian keep hanging around and you will see it
Lemmy is also filled with a lot of stuff. Not a reason to bring it up in random out-of-context conversations.
Go preach to people who do that. Here you were just trying to throw shade at Ukrainians. “See, everyone is bad?!”
You claiming i’m somehow throwing shade at ukrainians is way more out of context than pointing out that a comment sound racist
You are trying to fabricate sympathy for Russians in a post where nobody is attacking them (as russians), about Ukraine military aid. You know what you are doing, you can make the paraculo as much as you want.
