I have 2 10x10 pieces we use for the entrance to the shop and as carpet for the lounge area. We used to have piece on the patio but the damn dog kept peeing on it.

Hegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readiness

The Defense Department held up a shipment of U.S. weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military’s own ammunition supplies, according to three U.S. officials.

The move to halt the weapons shipment blindsided the State Department, members of Congress, officials in Kyiv and European allies, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

Critics of the decision included Republicans and Democrats who support aiding Ukraine’s fight against Russia. A leading House Democrat, Adam Smith of Washington, said it was disingenuous of the Pentagon to use military readiness to justify halting aid when the real reason appears to be simply to pursue an agenda of cutting off American aid to Ukraine.

“We are not at any lower point, stockpile-wise, than we’ve been in the 3½ years of the Ukraine conflict,” Smith, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, told NBC News.

Smith said that his staff has “seen the numbers” and, without going into detail, that there was no indication of a shortage that would justify suspending aid to Ukraine.

Suspending the shipment of military aid to Ukraine was a unilateral step by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to three congressional aides and a former U.S. official familiar with the matter. It was the third time Hegseth on his own has stopped shipments of aid to Ukraine, the sources said. In the two previous cases, in February and in May, his actions were reversed days later.

Putin Humiliates Trump With Unprecedented Attack Right After Their Phone Call

Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s heaviest bombardment yet of Ukraine only hours after leaving President Donald Trump “disappointed” by a phone call over the prospect of peace negotiations.

“I didn’t make any progress with him at all,” Trump admitted to reporters on Thursday, before a barrage of missiles and drones that left much of the Ukrainian capital in flames.

The attack on Kyiv was the largest aerial bombardment since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The seven-hour onslaught lasted from Thursday into Friday and injured 23 people. Buildings were wrecked and rail infrastructure was affected, too.

When will trump wake up and realize that putin is playing him?

Oops.

I think that Hegseth has been trying to make a big media impact to get closer into Trump's inner circle, but the established politicians and handlers (i.e. Rubio, Vance, Wiles, etc.) are keeping him on the outside looking in.

“Asked on Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting whether he approved of the pause in shipments, Trump demurred, saying only that the US would continue to send defensive weapons to Ukraine. Pressed again on who authorized the pause, Trump replied, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”

Good reply by Trump on how the deal with the fake news and potential leakers

Hegseth has been the lightning rod for the media since day one…. But they were all silent when JoBozo Bidens Secretary defense went missing when he was undergoing surgery and never told anyone.

They didn’t say anything when military recruitment plummeted under the most embarrassing Commander and chief of all time… Joey The Con man Biden

Trump, Rutte announce 'really big' NATO arms package amid new 50 day deadline to Putin

President Donald Trump on Monday confirmed that the U.S. has agreed to sell arms to NATO just moments after he said Russian President Vladimir Putin has 50 days to secure a peace deal with Ukraine or face "100%" tariffs.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Trump called him on Thursday to confirm he wanted to enter into a deal with NATO allies to sell them arms for aid to Ukraine.

Trump said billions of dollars worth of U.S. arms would be purchased from allies like Germany, Finland and Denmark that will be "quickly distributed" to Ukraine….

I don’t have a problem with this as this is not the US taxpayer footing the bill to defend Ukraine by just giving shit directly to Ukraine. It is the Western Europeans paying for it, which supports American jobs/manufacturing, albeit MIC ones.

[GannonFan]

The big thing is whether he follows through on the 100% tariffs for people doing business with Russia, or if the threat is enough. While we made a big thing out of the sanctions we threw on Russia after they invaded Ukraine, most of it was for show. The biggest thing we could've done, i.e. cut off their oil sales, we never did because we were afraid of the impact to gas prices at the pump. It was one of Biden's biggest foreign policy failures (not diplomatically getting Russia not to invade and then refusing to hit them where it would hurt economically, i.e. oil exports). If we're serious now about cutting off the vast amount of money Russia has been making, even since day 1 of the invasion of Ukraine, then that tells me we might be serious about really trying to end this conflict.

Trump is owned by Putin hes a Russian asset! RUSSIA!!!

[Caribbean Hen]

Joey the Con failed his country by not being able to keep Putin out of the Ukraine

Putin saw the weakness from half way around the world that our media goons and our diseased voters missed and moved in on his prized territories very quickly after Biden took office

Trump comes back and tries to negotiate at least, but to no avail and now has flipped to assisting The Ukraine

The threatening rhetoric coming out of Russia is not a surprise to anyone

Putin we never do any type of agreement with the 50 days that the Trump ultimatum gave him

So what’s next? The draft ?

Buckle up
