Axios: Trump’s Decision to Withhold Aid Plucked From Putin’s Personal Wishlist

Meme

That's a cute graphic Axios went with with its story on the United States temporarily withholding military aid from Ukraine. As Twitchy reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backtracked on his position a bit, saying "Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer."

Anyway, they could have gone with a Trump holding onto a shirtless Vladimir Putin riding a bear, but instead, Axios was more subtle and put Trump's and Putin's photos in a locket together. According to Axios, Trump is just running down Putin's wishlist.

Dave Lawler reports:

Trump's friendliness toward Putin isn't a new phenomenon. Investigations into the president's ties to Russia dogged much of his first term, and pursuing revenge for the "Russia hoax" has become core to MAGA's political identity.

Trump pushed back Monday on the notion that his foreign policy matches the Kremlin's, pointing to the fact that Russia's past invasions — Georgia in 2008, Crimea in 2014, and all of Ukraine in 2022 — took place while he was out of his office.

"Under President Trump they got nothing, and under President Biden they tried to get the whole thing. If I didn't get in here they would have gotten the whole thing," Trump argued.

You don't need to put "Russia hoax" in scare quotes, Axios. Ist was a hoax … opposition research from the Hillary Clinton campaign that the mainstream media picked up and ran with for years.

Thank you.

Before Trump withheld aid, Zelenskyy said that the end of the war with Russia was very, very far away. It's less so now that Trump has made all of the moves from Putin's personal wishlist.

By the way, is this the same Axios reporter who wrote the book with CNN's Jake Tapper about the conspiracy to hide Joe Biden's deteriorating mental condition? No, different guy, same outlet.
