That was the plan. The spectacle in the WH about suits was to convince Americans that Ukraine shouldn’t be helped. Trump was convinced that blocking help to Ukraine will force them to surrender, and the war will be over.
When Ukraine and Poland contacted WH asking what was going on, WH just acted like they don’t know what’s happening.
The reason why communism is not great is because to implement it (at least now) it leads to authoritarianism.
IMO social democracy (which is regulated capitalism) which we see in Scandinavian countries looks the best right now.
