U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky mere days after a heated exchange in the Oval Office cast doubt on U.S. support for Kyiv.

A senior Defense Department official told Bloomberg that all U.S. military assistance to Ukraine is on hold until Trump determines that Ukrainian leaders are making a genuine effort toward peace.

The pause affects not only future aid but also weapons already in transit, including shipments on aircraft and ships, as well as equipment awaiting transfer in Poland.

    The answer is simpler than that: the “checks and balances” system is a facade created to prevent meaningful progressive policy from passing.

    Checks and Balances always work in favor of the more evil side.

    The “Good Guys” would respect the checks of balances, making it harder to enact good policies. The “Bad Guys” would just ignore all this, and just use executive orders for everything, as we can see this administration doing right now.

    Checks and Balances can only prevent corrupt individuals, it prevents one branch from becoming evil, not an entire party that has taken over all 3 branches of government, and working together to destroy democracy.
