March 3, 2025 (EIRNS)—President Donald Trump has suspended the delivery of all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, according to multiple press accounts.
This decision comes as Zelenskyy continues to channel Greta Thunberg, acting like a scolding, scowling brat. In London on March 2, following the meeting of a U.K.-hosted “coalition of the willing” to support the destruction of the country Zelenskyy supposedly represents, he claimed that Ukraine could count on continuing U.S. support. And Zelenskyy said he’d put such “support” to good use—by prolonging the war that is absolutely devastating Ukraine. Peace with Russia is “very, very far away,” he said.
Trump was furious. “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!” he thundered on March 3.
“It is what I was saying, this guy doesn’t want there to be Peace as long as he has America’s backing,” Trump continued. “Europe, in the meeting they had with Zelenskyy, stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S.—Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?”
Other steps toward ending the catastrophically dangerous conflict between NATO and Russia in Ukraine:
Trump advisor Mike Waltz points out the absurdity of debating the nature of security guarantees in Ukraine when there isn’t even a pathway to a peace.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth orders a halt to cyberattacks against Russia.
But despite the thawing relations between Russia and the United States, can those two countries on their own create a peaceful outcome?
“The Kiev regime and Zelenskyy do not want peace,” assessed Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. “They want the war to continue. So in this situation, of course, only Washington’s efforts and Moscow’s readiness will obviously not be enough.”
There remains an apparent Anglo-French alliance for war against Russia, an alliance whose physical backing is far from adequate.
What role can the world play in preventing the intention for war, expressed by the U.K., France, and the Baltics, most notably?
Meanwhile, Trump’s useful instincts with respect to Ukraine clearly do not carry over to economics. He is applying and increasing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. And he plans to throw away government resources on crypto speculation, announcing a Crypto Strategic Reserve over the weekend. The announcement sent bitcoin prices up around 10%, a gain that completely evaporated by Monday evening. There were similar changes in the price people are willing to pay for other crypto “assets.”
Will Trump learn a lesson from the crypto antics of Argentina’s lunatic President Javier Milei?
If you want to work on “government efficiency,” scrap this crypto nonsense and get to work with building up U.S. infrastructure and productivity! An economy that is growing, in scale and technological advancement, will provide the basis for a strong currency and a means of servicing the ballooning federal debt.
