Initially, I believed the United States would support Ukraine in its clash against Russia. However, this belief wavered when Trump began developing a rapport with Putin, symbolized by his two-handed handshake rituals with the autocrat. Suddenly, Trump’s attitude towards Putin became frosty while he warmed up to Zelensky. Presently, The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. has refused to enable Ukraine to utilize American-produced long-range missiles against Russia.
Over an extensive period, the Pentagon has been impeding Ukraine’s access to long-range missiles to counterattack Russia, as stated by U.S. officials. In this situation, Ukraine is denied the usage of a significant asset in its defense against the Russian invasion. In one such case, the U.S. dismissed Ukraine’s initiative to employ Atacms against a Russian target, disclosed by two officials.
The American disapproval of long-range strikes has posed limitations on Ukraine’s military operations while the White House tries to coax the Kremlin into initiating peace dialogues. Trump communicated through social media that unless Ukraine turns to offensive strategies in the war, which has been ongoing for over three years following Moscow’s invasion, it won’t be able to subdue Russia.
He stated that it is exceptionally challenging, if not utterly improbable, to emerge victorious from a war without launching an attack on the invading nation. Written in his characteristic tone, he declared, ‘There is no chance of winning!’ Yet, since Trump is known for his unpredictable nature, there’s a possibility he may rethink his stance.
What is essentially required is strong collective action from the U.S. and Europe against Putin. If appropriate measures are not taken, Putin is liable to repeat this offensive maneuver with other nations. The Times of London accuses scholars, rather than students, for the burgeoning wokeness that has permeated universities across the U.S. and U.K. It has been revealed that some advocacy groups have applied legal suits to unveil illicit recruitment practices, a fact Trump openly acknowledged.
For a significant duration, the Pentagon has been strategizing a military occupation in Chicago, as per Trump’s statement of wanting to suppress crime, homelessness, and irregular immigration. The blueprint, once realized, could be replicated in other prominent cities. Trump’s administration emphasizes that such deployments are integral for restoring lawfulness.
Trump, on a recent Friday, showered praise on the National Guard’s current intervention efforts in Washington D.C., where over 2,200 Guard members have been recruited to suppress crime, which, in his view, was a long overdue measure. He then proceeded to identify Chicago as his next focus of intervention.
The charges against a well-known American teenager and amateur pilot, who was stuck on a secluded Antarctic island since June, have been dismissed. The individual in question, 19-year-old Ethan Guo, was charged for illicitly landing his plane on Chilean grounds. This incident occurred while he was on an unprecedented venture across all seven continents, undertaken as a fundraising initiative for cancer research according to local authorities.
My empathy for Guo is mitigated by the fact that he was fully aware his flight was unlawful. His charges were revoked, which was a fortunate turn of events, and he somehow managed to obtain Wi-Fi access, another fortuitous circumstance. Reportedly, Guo will return home soon. Interestingly, his reputation as an ‘influencer’ remains intact, as does his record.
In the meantime, in the town of Dobrzyn, a cat named Hili gears up for her own battle. In a conversation with her human, Andrzej, she reveals her intention. Andrzej asks, ‘What are you scheming here?’ to which Hili responds, ‘I’m gathering strength for the impending battle.’
