Patriot missile systems, right?

The Gimlers for HIMARS, all of that fun stuff.

What is happening now?

And this is another point of kind of intrigue for Donald Trump.

He makes a big deal of saying we're not giving anything to the Ukrainians for free.

The Europeans are buying it, right?

NATO is buying our kit to donate to Ukraine.

So the Europeans need to come to town, tell Trump, this deal is a pup, or at least it was until we rewrote it.

And even if the Ukrainians wanted to do this, they couldn't for the following reasons.

We can't do the things that the Russians are demanding of us, and we won't, frankly.

And oh, by the way, if this is about a drug deal or you need to be bribed with something, let us announce a $50 billion investment into the Pearl system that you have built with NATO.

So we'll pay.

We will enrich the military-industrial complex.

And then you want to take bribes from Lockheed Martin or Raytheon, that's your prerogative, man.

But we will give you the money that the Russians are offering and then some.

And we'll do it kind of in an above-board fashion, right?

Don't say I didn't tell you so.

I mean, you know, how many times do you know Zelensky in the room with Trump?

Never.

At best, it's not like the last time was OK.
