Its not “politics”
It is leadership. The people of Ukraine aren’t idiots. They understand that a LOT of their military and intelligence support has come from the US and that a US that is opposed to that means a severe lack of resources and pressure against the rest of NATO to do the same.
Does anyone expect a “win” to come out of talks with trump? No. But it says a lot to have a leader who is willing to try to lessen the loss.
The Internet has a tendency to like to discuss things in a clinical and idealistic sorkin-esqe manner. That isn’t how life works. Sometimes you can’t save everyone but you can at least try to save some people.
If you are in a position where you can dump random gases into the air supply to the degree it impacts these devices then they are likely compromised in other ways as well.
