Trump is arming Ukraine via NATO with the aim of brokering a peace deal of some kind. When that fails to bare fruit he's probably going to walk away from it but there will be escalations with Russia. Deployments will be met with deployments and we will be on a cold war footing.
A hot conflict with Russia is economically highly unlikely. Yet a new Cold War, a state of continuous armament like before 1990, seems to be Europe’s goal.

Of course Europe would like a new arms race...paid for socialist way, using OPM (Other People’s Money, i.e., the U.S. taxpayer).
Trump is more than willing to make a business deal with them, selling them whatever they need from U.S. manufacturers.
But they have to pay.
It is imperative for America to stop paying for Europe’s defense, as we are enabling their malignant socialist policies to continue and expand.
Is that something like a "pride parade"?
