What the record shows

Speed curbs limited Ukraine's defences against deadly Russian attacks.

The extreme prosecution

Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that Trump's denial of limiting Ukraine's access to the Starlink network is a thin veil for a much darker truth. The prosecution alleges that these speed curbs are not just technical adjustments but a calculated move to undermine Ukraine's defenses against Russian aggression. The prosecution submits that by restricting access, Trump is effectively aiding and abetting the enemy.

Exhibit A: The Plausible Link

The prosecution imagines a scenario where Trump's business interests align with Russian oligarchs, creating a motive for sabotaging Ukraine's defense capabilities.

The Domino Effect

The prosecution urges that these speed limitations could lead to catastrophic consequences, including increased casualties among Ukrainian forces.

The Hidden Danger

The prosecution admits that this situation poses a grave risk not only to Ukraine but to global security, as it emboldens authoritarian regimes.

Closing Argument

In the prosecution's theory, Trump's actions are not merely negligent; they are treasonous.

Verdict

The prosecution alleges: The prosecution demands accountability for this reckless endangerment of democracy.

Prosecution exhibits

1. Prosecution theory: Trump's financial ties to Russia could have influenced his decisions regarding military support.
2. Prosecution theory: If Ukraine cannot defend itself, it opens the door for further Russian advances.
3. Prosecution theory: This situation poses a grave risk not only to Ukraine but to global security.

Reality Check
