Trump Sending Ukraine Weapons Via NATO
Trump also threatened Russia with 100% tariffs if Putin doesn’t reach a peace deal with Ukraine in 50 days.
President Donald Trump announced with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that America will arm Ukraine in its war with Russia.
However, Trump will sell the equipment to NATO, and the countries will distribute it to Ukraine.
“Mark will speak about it, but we’ve made a deal today where we are going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them,” said Trump. “We, the United States, will not be having any payment made. We’re not buying it, but we will manufacture it, and they’re going to be paying for it.”

Rutte agreed that it makes sense for Europe to purchase the weapons:
This is really big. You called me on Thursday that you have taken a decision. And a decision is that you want to bring what it needs to have to maintain to be able to defend itself [Ukraine] against Russia, but you do want Europeans to pay for it, which is totally logical.
And this is building on the tremendous success of the NATO Summit, the 5% but also the decision to keep Ukraine strong and the decision to increase our defense industrial production. So based on that, this is, that was Europe stepping up. This is again, Europeans stepping up.
So I’ve been in contact with many countries, I can tell you at this moment, Germany, massively, but also Finland and Denmark and Sweden and Norway they have taken the Netherlands, Canada, they all want to be part of this and this is only the first wave that will be more.

A reporter asked, “Could this transaction with NATO be viewed as a step towards achieving peace, letting Putin know that now Zelenskyy has a little bit more powerful tools in his tool chest, and maybe that brings him to the table to achieve peace?”
Trump complimented the reporter on the question and how he worded it!
But yes, Trump thinks selling the weapons could end the war:
Yeah, I think this is a chance of getting peace, or it’s just going to be the same thing. I have to tell you, Europe has a lot of spirit for this war. Lot of people, you know, when I first got involved, I really didn’t think they did, but they do, and I saw that a month ago. And then you were there, most of you, many of you were there. The level of spirit that they have is amazing. They really think it’s a very, very important thing to do, or they wouldn’t be doing.
Look, they’re agreeing to just, you know, they’re paying for everything. We’re not paying anywhere we were. We have an ocean separating us. I said, we have a problem. We make the best stuff, but we can’t keep doing this.
And Biden should have done this years ago. He should have done it from the beginning, but he didn’t. He didn’t know he was there. This guy wanted what, what a horrible job they did for this country. And I just hope, between the border and this and so many other, inflation, what a horrible administration, the worst administration in history, in my opinion, it’s not my opinion. I think it’s everybody’s opinion.
But this is something that shouldn’t have happened and we’re going to see if we can end it.

It is better than throwing money at Ukraine.
Plus, Trump made the correct choice to sign a rare minerals deal with Ukraine.
The rare minerals deal means we have an economic interest in Ukraine, something that actually affects America.
Trump also told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he has 50 days to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or else the country faces 100% tariffs:
But we’re very, very unhappy with them [Russia], and we’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100% you’d call them secondary tariffs. You know what that means.
But today we’re going to talk about something else. And as you know, we’ve spent $350 billion approximately, on this war with Russia and Ukraine, and would like to see it end. It wasn’t my war. It was Biden’s war. It’s not my war. I’m trying to get you out of it, and we want to see it end. And I’m disappointed in President Putin, because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn’t seem to get there.
So based on that, we’re going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days. It’s very simple, and they’ll be at 100% for and that’s the way it is, that can be more simple, it’s just the way it is. I hope we don’t have to do it.
BREAKING: President Trump just gave Russia 50 days to strike a peace deal with Ukraine before he enacts secondary tariffs at 100% to cripple them economically.
It's time for Russia to put up or take the lashing:
"If we do not have a deal in 50 days, at 100%, and that is the way… pic.twitter.com/1npNbWDvp1

In other news Tucker has been spotted crying hysterically and rapidly calling his close friend Vladimir Putin.
Tucker is fine. It’s okay for real people who don’t have a monetary agenda network telling them what to do to miss at times even it is big.
On this issue Trump is 100% on my side on this issue. Furthermore so to is every Republican Senator, and nearly every Republican Congressman, every Republican governor, and frankly most of America.
Tucker by the way is not fine. WW2 revisionism is not fine. Holocaust denial is not fine, Promoting America’s enemies is not fine. Promoting anti-Semitism is not fine. Demeaning Trump’s victories out of petty asshatry is not fine. Declaring closing the border, winning decisively (although like all presidents not 100% of the time) and winning on the culture issues to is nothing because MUHHHHHHHHHHHHH NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is not fine.
By the way do you actually agree with Tucker that Trump’s gigantic border triumph in and out of court is nothing and a distraction?
Did you see what is happening in Spain? You know illegal immigrants attacking an elderly Spanish man for not being Muslims, Spaniards for being Spaniards and the police attacking Spanish groups trying to defend themselves?
Tucker made it clear he is not on the Republican or Conservative side.
I’m not saying that he’s right. I’m saying that he gets a lot more right than wrong and I’d still trust him over the leftist media harpies. He sits in the ecosystem where he has a purpose….nowhere did I say I agree with him on everything.
The problem is the stuff that he’s getting wrong now is so big it swamps everything else out.
Tucker is not fine. I watched that disaster with Cruz.
The bad news is that these arm shipments will result in many deaths on both sides.
The good news is that USA will get jobs and not pay for the munitions!
He’s sending them Patriot Missile batteries, a system that has ZERO utility as an offensive platform. Unless the Russians have produced sentient missiles, the only damage to an actual Russian these missiles will inflict will be on their pride.
Could you please explain why you believe sending anti-missile batteries that do nothing but intercept missiles and drones that are fired into Ukraine by Russia will result in ‘many deaths on both sides?
I’m fine as long as we don’t pat for it.
I’m even okay with weapons as long as it’s not money for grift like Joe Biden did.
Has Europe stopped buying Russian oil? 🤔
djt should have waited into the lefty eurotrash ACTUTALLY MADE THE 5% PAYMENTS THEY CLAIM THEY WILL..and it cant be just one payment
it should be continuous
the eu is playing all of us
macron the other day went way wayyy out of his lane and talked about how france must now be tough and not just talk the talk
macron:
“To be free in this world, you must be feared. To be feared, you must be powerful,” he said in the speech, which fell on the eve of Bastille Day
So they say by 2027 THEY WILL INCREASE THEIR MILITARY SPENDING etc
IT CAN BE DONE NOW RIGHT NOW!
Let Europe pay for the war on their borders they let start. Uncle Sugar is out of the propping up socialist states like Germany. WW2 was over 75 yrs ago. Time we stopped paying Europe’s bills
The only reason (imho) Putin had the cash to (again) finance a land war with a neighbor AND the belief that the EU would (again) be too timid to interfere directly was because the EU nations – despite Trump 1.0 telling them it was a Bad Idea – made themselves dependent on Russian fossil fuel to keep their population alive during winter.
Couple that with an obvious “Weekend At Bernie’s” President in the US WH and Western Europe was like the critter volunteering to help the scorpion cross the river – they were buoyed by their belief that the scorpion certainly wouldn’t sting the critter doing him a favor.
I can’t say I follow your final analogy adequately, but it reminds me of the time one ally bombed a pipeline serving another ally.
I thought everyone had heard it – it’s a story supposedly from a from a Russian folktale. Which makes it even more apropos talking about a Russian dictator.
Synopsis
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn’t help myself. It’s my character.”[1]
“It is better than throwing money at Ukraine.”
As the attacked party (Ukraine, like Poland in WWII, definitely did NOT invade first) I feel for the people there. However – just like with almost all the other former pieces of the former Soviet Empire – corruption is deeply ingrained into all those running the place. Think of them as Biden Family members. Whatever money we send them not all of it will go to where and who we intended.
This is hopefully a way to help the people without at least 10% “off the top”.
