Help please. Had a coffee with a good friend last evening and during the conversation he mentioned that Pres. Trump has reinstated the intelligence apparatus to Ukraine, along with the weapons he took back. I can't see this. It doesn't make sense to me. I believe that he listens more to Libertarian podcasters, and I'm sure a lot of them are anti-Trump. He also mentioned that the economy is all over the place (up and down) because of uncertainty regarding what Trump is going to do one day to the next. I'm having a hard time believing this. He is not a Q follower so it's a bit tough to bring "the plan" into the conversation. So, what do you guys think? Heard anything?

About the economy. We’re in shakeup mode. It’s not all over the place. Basically, if you were dumping a trash can into a garbage bin, does it go everywhere? No. But it’s violent to those who loved the trash in the can. They depended on it. They just can’t see it was trash and useless. So they freak out. Those doing the cleaning see a better future and are excited to keep filling up that garbage bin. So you don’t have to prove anything to them right now of what is and what isn’t. Let’s clean up a bit, then we’ll show them, or they’ll figure it out eventually. Life is better. Just comfort them for now. Just say “it’s gonna be ok”. Your calm demeanor will prove your right soon enough.
Great response. Some expect miracles to happen at the snap of the finger as if by magic. Real life doesn't work that way. It took years to create the mess we are dealing with right now and sadly, as you stated, some have become too comfortable with their trash in the can. Any expectations that any of this going to be fixed quickly is not dealing with reality. It takes time to turn this ship around. Will there be some pain? Yes, there will be pain for some in order to get to the long term plan for the future. There is no other choice to get to that future unless their is a shakeup. People demand change, but at the same time they are unwilling to suffer any discomfort in order to bring about those necessary changes. Don't hold that trash can too tightly.
Weapons and aid were restored per cooperation on a 30 day ceasefire. Your friend is correct about the markets as well. Nobody is sure what to do with money. Stocks should go up with Trump, but they aren’t. Gold should go down with lower inflation and lower prospect of war but it isn’t. Crypto should be going up because he is pro crypto but it’s going down.
Things are very uncertain, nobody really knows what’s happening. It’s all a first.
When the media reported Trump ended intelligence sharing with Ukraine, they didn't make a big deal out of it to attack Trump like they usually do. The reason for that is Trump put a stop to the targeting systems used by the CIA (I think) to direct missiles and drones being fired into Russia. So the media wasn't about to make a big deal about Ukraine being a proxy for a shooting war against Russia.
I did see something that Trump reinstated it a few days later. I think this was during the back and forth with Zelensky the other week.
Thanks. I was curious about that, because it seemed like something the MSM would be all over, blaming Trump for something.
Regarding the economy, it seems to me that the stock markets are reacting negatively toward Trump's tariffs and Wall Street tends to be very reactionary. They'll quickly rebound in due time once the world doesn't end.
Thanks for the responses frends. I understand the market fluctuating in a time of transition. I was more curious about the intel situation.
the market is NOT the economy. it is a casino where they play with our money.
Just give it some time. Stopping a freight train and reversing it does not happen quickly.
From March 10: "The U.S. has never stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine that is needed for defensive purposes, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, told Fox News' America's Newsroom on March 10.
The comments seem to confirm earlier claims in the media that the U.S. freeze on intelligence sharing with Kyiv, instituted on March 5, did not extend to information needed for defense operations."
