Trump’s Trump Card: “No Moscow Raids, Dad!”
Just a day after asking why Ukraine hadn’t yet struck the Russian capital, the U.S. President handed a pretty clear reply to President Zelensky: don’t target Moscow.
Trump’s latest go‑talk came during a late Tuesday press conference. Asked whether Kyiv should go for a hard‑hit on the city of Moscow, the President shot back that it simply wasn’t the right move.
When pressed for more details, the U.S. leader revealed that Ukraine “could so long as you give us the weapons.” The Financial Times caught the exchange, noting that the ratings of cyber and missile intelligence are still under wraps.
What’s Really on the Table?
- The U.S. is weighing the idea of sending long‑range, precision‑guided Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv.
- Troop support remains on the table, with only the obvious caveat that the Ukraine would need the ammunition and landing capability to get them off the ground.
- Trump’s concession to “no Moscow attack” suggests that any future missile launch would target other Russian military objectives instead.
Key Takeaways
• Trump is giving Brussels a buffer: No Moscow raids for now.
• Ukraine’s response signals they’re ready if the U.S. boosts their firepower toolkit.
• The Kremlin is likely breathing easier for the next 48 hours.

Trump’s Missile Playlist: From Ukraine to Moscow—A Playful Political Playbook
In the latest political drama, Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared he’ll keep driving the war forward “until he gets what he wants,” effectively shouting “one more round, folks!” Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump appears to be brainstorming a set of heavy‑duty missiles to back the Ukrainian front—whatever that means for real‑world hot spots.
Trump’s “Missile Menagerie”
- Tomahawk Missiles – Legends say Trump is eyeing these precision-guided rockets that could “easily strike Moscow and other regions in Russia.” Still, it’s unclear whether he’d actually launch them or just keep them in the garage.
- Joint Air‑to‑Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSM) – Rumors from an unnamed source claim Trump is flirting with the idea of sending these to Ukraine. Think of it as a high‑tech firefly, but for weapons.
- Patriot Missile Defense Systems – Trump waved the green‑greenery of Patriot launchers flinging toward Ukraine. He also mentioned that NATO will “pay us back for everything” when Germany delivers the hardware—some say this is the promise of a “mutual debt club.”
Why It Matters
These missile plans aren’t just headline fodder; they signal how political leaders might try to balance support and strategy in a tense global landscape. The potential ripple effects—fairly serious ones—include escalating tensions and possible arms races.
In Summary: While Putin wants the war to last “until he gets what he wants,” Trump seems to be rolling out a missile repertoire that could amplify the stakes. Washington’s playbook, a little lopsided, could either reinforce Ukrainian defense or, inversely, tighten a direct line to Moscow—no crystal ball guarantee, just a material threat list.
