“It’s not my war." —Donald Trump (on board Air Force One on April 25)
President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that the Ukraine War is Joe Biden’s, not his. But now the Ukraine war belongs to Trump. He can no longer deny ownership.
From Defence-blog.com:
President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly approved its first weapons sale to Ukraine since the start of his second term, with plans to authorize direct commercial exports valued at $50 million or more.
The move was first reported by Kyiv Post, citing diplomatic sources, and later confirmed through congressional records.
According to the report, the U.S. administration formally notified Congress on April 30 of its intention to allow the sale of military goods to Ukraine under the Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) program. This mechanism permits U.S. defense companies to negotiate arms exports directly with foreign governments, pending approval from the State Department.
Kyiv Post said the proposed sale would include military-designated goods, technical data, and related defense services. The approval was made under the Arms Export Control Act, which mandates notification to Congress for defense sales exceeding certain thresholds.
Additional confirmation came from European Pravda, which cited documentation available on the official U.S. Congress website. A record listed an entry dated April 29, cataloged as EC-859, referencing a memo from the State Department’s legal office to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The memo notifies Congress of “a proposed license for the export of defense articles, including technical data, and defense services to Ukraine for an amount of $50 million or more,” in compliance with U.S. export control laws.
This transaction represents the first defense-related export authorization to Ukraine under President Trump’s current administration.
While details of the specific equipment or systems involved have not been disclosed, the timing suggests a shift toward greater military support amid ongoing regional instability.
By the same token, the Israeli genocide in Gaza is now Trump’s genocide. This man who was elected president on the promise of ending America’s “stupid wars” (his words) is neck-deep in the continuation and escalation of these wars.
Per Trump’s wars on behalf of Israel comes this report:
The Israeli military is set to receive a “major new weapons shipment” from the US in the coming weeks to help prepare it for continued operations in Gaza and a potential attack on Iran, the Israeli news site Ynet reported on Monday.
The details of the arms shipment are unclear, but Ynet said it would include 3,000 munitions for Israel’s Air Force. The report said the bomb shipment was recently approved by the Trump administration.
The Pentagon’s Defense Cooperation Agency said on Monday that the State Department approved a $180 million arms deal for Eitan Powerpack Engines that will go to Israel, but it did not announce any new bomb shipments.
The Ynet report said the new weapons shipment will help prepare the Israeli military for a new “large-scale campaign” in Gaza and that it comes in addition to over 10,000 munitions that are expected to replenish Israeli stockpiles soon.
The Trump administration has approved a series of arms deals and weapons shipments for Israel, totaling more than $12 billion, including tens of thousands of 2,000-pound bombs, which Israel has dropped on densely populated civilian areas of Gaza.
Besides fueling Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, US military aid to Israel also supports Israel’s stepped-up military operations in the West Bank and its occupations of southern Lebanon and southern Syria.
Beyond that, Trump extended the U.S. wars in the Middle East to include Yemen. However, after spending over one billion dollars in bombs and military operations and losing three F/A-18 jet fighters surrounding our attacks on the Houthis, with the result of doing NOTHING to dismantle their ability to continue launching missiles against Israel in defense of the Palestinian people—but killing scores of innocent Yemeni civilians—our Navy warships were forced to leave harm's way, giving Yemen a HUGE victory and utterly humiliating Trump and his Neocon Zionists in D.C.
Renowned international journalist Pepe Escobar explained the details of this humiliating defeat for Donald Trump’s war in Yemen in this interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Afterward, Trump does what he always does: LIE, telling America that he “cut a deal” with Yemen after that country “begged” him to stop shelling them and promised to stop launching their missile attacks against Israeli targets.
The truth is, Yemen said no such thing. The U.S. Navy was getting its tail whipped and was forced to leave the area or risk suffering much greater death and damage. This is seen by the fact that the Houthis continue launching missiles against Israeli targets.
And the only reason the Houthis are attacking Israel is due to the genocide in Gaza and the blockade of food and medicine put in place by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). During the brief ceasefire negotiated between the U.S. and Israel, Yemen STOPPED its missile attacks. The missile attacks resumed AFTER Israel broke the ceasefire and resumed the genocide and also broke its promise to allow food and medicine into Gaza.
As with every president of this century, Trump is just another lying, two-faced, duplicitous conman who tells the American people what they want to hear but, at the end of the day, is just another bought-and-paid-for lackey of Israel and the military-industrial complex—and now add the Musk/Thiel technocracy.
If Trump was sincere in his bodacious, bellicose blabber about wanting to be a “peace” president and ending the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, he could have done so within weeks of taking office. All he needed to do was turn off the spigot, stop sending military support to both Ukraine and Israel, and both wars would have ended almost immediately.
But what does Trump do? He continues the flow of military assistance to both countries unabated.
Neither Ukraine nor Israel could last a week on the battlefield without America’s military support. Both wars are AMERICA’S WARS. The warmongering Zionist Neocons in Washington, D.C., fight their perpetual wars around the world using proxy nations such as Ukraine and Israel—and now even ISIS in Syria—to do the bleeding and dying for them.
Remember ISIS? G.W. Bush launched two wars resulting in thousands of dead Americans and trillions of taxpayer dollars to destroy our great “enemy,” ISIS. Now, Donald Trump is using billions of taxpayer dollars, the CIA, the U.S. Navy and Air Force to provide cover, intelligence, training and equipment to underwrite our “allies” in Syria, ISIS.
Reports are now saying that Trump intends to finance and provide military assistance for ISIS to invade Yemen. Yet another proxy war for America.
How many times have I said it? There are not two parties in Washington, D.C. There is only one party in Washington: the WAR PARTY, also known as the ZIONIST PARTY.
And how long will the American people not catch on?
My fellow peace advocates in the alt-media continue to scratch their heads as to how the American people can continue to be blinded to the death grip that Israel and the defense contractors have on our politicians (of both parties) inside the Beltway. But there is a single tube of glue that holds this calamitous chicanery together: evangelical pastors and churches.
Without the constant, never-ending, continual, repeated, recurring (get the idea?) Dispensationalist/Prophetic Futurist/Scofieldist/Rapturist propaganda that is regurgitated twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year by America’s evangelicals regarding “end-times” prophecy, the entire charade would be seen for the fraud that it is, and the entire Neocon/Zionist/War agenda would come crashing down.
It really is that simple.
Plus, there is another by-product of the “end-times” cult, a spiritual one—perhaps the most damaging one. All this Dispensational “end-times” teaching resulting in the unconditional support of tens of millions of evangelical Christians for Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Middle East, the unconditional support for the war in Ukraine (because they say Russia is Ezekiel’s “Gog and Magog”) and the enthusiastic unconditional support for U.S. foreign wars in general are driving millions of people AWAY from Christianity.
Fewer people in America today are associated with establishment churches than at any time in our country’s history. And more people in America today identify themselves as “non-religious” or identify themselves with non-Christian religions than at any time in our country’s history.
In other words, the Rapture cult, with all its accompanying heretical tentacles, is doing more to paganize America than all the atheists and agnostics combined.
Mr. Trump can no longer say that the war in Ukraine is not his. He owns it (along with the wars in the Middle East) lock, stock and barrel—and so do America’s “end-times” evangelicals.
