It was not an energy ceasefire. It was a gift to Putin. A White House official told Axios that, as Trump understands it, the term means only that Russia and Ukraine stop attacking each other's oil refineries—and that this is what Washington expects Ukraine to do. Ukraine has one refinery, while Russia has 38, of which 21 have been targeted by Ukrainian drones.

    The whole world is using Ukraine as a training ground. Yes we're technically siding with the oppressed... but we cannot truthfully say that 100% of the motivation is protecting Ukrainian sovereignty and/or mitigating Russian aggression. EoD militaries need soldiers with combat experience; especially given how rapidly fpv drones have changed the landscape of warfare.

    They've not taken Taiwan idk where you got that idea, and America uses slave labor and side with slaver country's frequently as well, if the aren't openly attacking us I don't the issue with us selling from a country that isn't any worse then America, if we don't we won't have much anyone to trade with unless a the global south suddenly decides trading with us is a good idea.
