The timing of Trump's full betrayal is honestly baffling. He knows the midterms are going to be very difficult for his party and that most Americans support Ukraine. The logical thing to do to boost his standing would be to increase his support for Ukraine. ​Instead, he does the exact opposite. He restricts Starshield/Starlink, crippling Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, strikes a diesel deal with Russia, grants Russia a sanctions waiver, and his rhetoric on Ukraine turns unhinged. ​Why? It’s almost as if someone in the Kremlin called and told him to use his power to the fullest to help Russia while he still can. I know this sounds, but what else could it be?
