Trump turns 180 degrees on Ukrainian drones. Today, at least. The lesson: the U.S. president is the definition of “untrustworthy.” Not least for Ukraine.
“…the U.S. Commander-in-Chief is spectacularly ill-suited to have anything to do with war and international relations.” He is spectacularly ill-suited to do *anything*.
Sounds to me like the U.S will dissect Ukraine drone design, and attempt to manufacture it in this country. We will likely inflate the project, hand it to Boeing, and it will become bloated and unwieldy. Arms manufacturers will push back on anything that disturbs their traditional military sales. Net zero. Makes me livid that we can mine Ukraine for their innovations, but we’re declining to help them. So short sighted.
The biggest problem for the intelligence briefer is getting the recipient to understand which secrets he could share and which ones they needed to keep to themselves. That must be an impossible challenge with DJT.
I keep returning to that scene in the Oval where T scolds Z, “you don’t have any cards!” It wasn’t very long after that that Z played a card, Spider Web, attacking P’s air base hundreds of miles within Russian border. It had been planned out over 1 1/2 years. Fast forward to last week when P asked T to intervene by requesting that Z honor a cease fire during P’s parade. Z allows it and puts out a post stating that they were permitting the parade within a timeframe and GPS coordinates—which was quite the card to play. And now, what, as I refresh my memory on these details while writing, I see that Z followed up on his “sure, you can have a parade” with a large-scale drone attack.
Zelensky knows how to play cards and he knows not to show them to the likes of T.
As for Trump piloting his own plane, he could have, but pilots with tears in their eyes approached him and begged him to allow them to fly the plane.

Well, he is well-suited to grift and bamboozle millions of Americans, apparently.

And what happens when you let the Americans in on all the secrets of your success? Those secrets will go straight to Putin!!!!!
….there is that.

Beware of sharing anything with the US. Trump will just give it all to Putin.

Oh, one other thing. The guy says, “I alone can fix it.” I’m not surprised he’s unbriefable.
Just want to underscore untrustworthiness.
