They were never going to get into NATO. Behind closed doors, Ukraine not getting into NATO has been bipartisan consensus for a long time. And Trump is not Putin’s puppet.
Jacobin: Why the Twitter Files Are in Fact a Big DealOn the Left, there’s been a temptation to dismiss the revelations about Twitter’s internal censorship system that have emerged from the so-called Twitter Files project. But that would be a mistake: the news is important and the details are alarming.
As for the first point, it’s been covered by the likes of John Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, Noam Chomsky, Michael Hudson, and Glenn Diesen. Some political figures have admitted as much, but unfortunately I don’t recall who off the top of my head.
That’s a lot of stuff about President Trump and the elections but nothing as far as I see about the bipartisan stance that Ukraine isn’t going to join NATO.
Russia has been consistent that NATO membership would be a declaration of war by the US/NATO, so it would mean the end of civilisation. It’s an absurd idea. As much as Russia forming a military alliance with Cuba and Mexico.
I don’t have sources on hand for the the first point, but I do for the second.

Yeah. You put about 3 times the effort on your first point but have a shit ton of sources for your second. Doesn’t add up.
Also Robert Mueller was prevented from looking into the money trail during the investigation that’s why he found nothing. Puppet… maybe not but influenced absolutely. Why the heck would the US government do a 180 on our stance of helping Ukraine after President Trump was elected. “We will still maybe kinda possibly help you but you have to give us your rare minerals and be willing to lose land”
This guy doesn’t want to help Americans. Only those who have tons of money. Anything to help line his pockets and his friends.
He has shut down all information flow for health and scientific research. This means we’re sitting in the dark about potential pandemics and deadly diseases. Mpox and the strain of bird flue being the top two at the moment of many people’s list. This doesn’t even touch the measles outbreak in Texas. Measles had essentially been eradicated, but thanks for the anti-VAX push from the right We’re now dealing with something that the prior generations had worked very hard to eliminate.
The good old “I wasn’t taught and never in my life been interested to learn how to read sources, so I’ll pretend they’re crackpot so I don’t have to read”.
I’m confused about the tone and content of your reply. Are you suggesting that someone can read, but only as long as the information being collected isn’t a source of information? Also, I’m not sure where the idea that those writers are crackpot came from.
Behind closed doors, the consensus has been that other countries don’t want to get dragged into the current war in accordance with NATO mutual defense agreements.
But since Trump insists that he can end the war, that’s obviously not a consideration for him - by his claims, there will be nothing more standing in the way of Ukraine membership in NATO.
Which makes this announcement that much more significant - essentially what he’s saying is that even after the main obstacle to Ukraine membership has been eliminated, the US will oppose it.
Why?
Because… no, Trump is not Putin’s puppet. He’s something even worse - a cringing sycophant, desperate for affirmation from his strongman idol.

If you keep analyzing the current administration through the lens of Jungian analysis of Trump, you’ll keep being wrong. Great man theory is no way to go about analyzing geopolitics.
That’s what Daddy Putin wants, so that’s what Daddy Putin gets.
This is what America wanted. Biden made no effort to provide Ukraine with the weapons to win.

Source for any of this? Would be interested to know more about these points.

The Hill yesterday: Zelensky: US ‘didn’t want us in NATO’ even before Trump

I didn’t put any effort in. I happened to have those articles on hand already.
Lol
Gee golly mister, I don’t know where they came from or why they’re here, but I sure am glad they are
Ahhh, the old “Do your own research” strategy, always a classic!

You are screaming into the void. The people downvoting you think Butcher Biden is a good person, they are a lost cause.
I can push them left* lmao
