WILL Krasnov get a muffin basket from Putin for diverting 20,000 missiles promised for Ukraine to the Middle East?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told ABC News' Martha Raddatz that his defense minister told him Friday the U.S. was sending anti-drone weapons promised to Ukraine to the Middle East instead.

Zelenskyy said the U.S. would divert "20,000 missiles" earmarked for Ukraine in an agreement with the Biden administration to the Middle East, where it appears the U.S. would use them for its own force protection,

“Without the help of the United States, we will have more losses,” Zelenskyy told Raddatz in Kyiv last week.

The fact that the world community has to step up and fill in the cracks caused by Trump.

Trump is out there banging the drum and whizzing all over our allies, while they are cleaning up his mess.

Obviously, we love them for doing it, but they should not have to.

1). Dems don't have the numbers in Congress to do anything about it

2). Roberts has anointed him as America's king

3). Republicans pee their pants every time Trump clears his throat

4). There are 1319 days left in Trump's administration and we all know he'll troll about not leaving
