After a five-month sanctions pause that let shell companies funnel goods to Russia, the admin now talks of losing patience. This isn't strategy; it's whiplash governance.

This mirrors the aid chaos: a July XX Pentagon halt shocked allies, followed by a July XX deal where NATO pays for US arms. While the EU passed its 18th sanctions package, the admin waited until July to approve its first aid of 2025. Ukraine's defense isn't a reality show.

This isn't leadership; it's a protection racket where allies pay the fees and Ukraine pays the price.
