It’s happening.

Who did it?

Trump, Putin, or both?

Reuters reported:

(NATO’s) “European states would invest a combined total of $380 billion in defence this year, taking their spending as a whole to an estimated 2% of GDP in 2024 compared to 1.85% in 2023, Stoltenberg said.”

There is a lot of talk that Trump would be bad for Ukraine, and its war effort. However it was Trump who challenged NATO members to spend what they are required to, it was Trump who sent weapons to Ukraine, and it was Trump who warned Europe about becoming dependent on Russia for hydrocarbons

Assuming “ending war in 24 hours “ means xiden like Afghanistan withdrawal may leave you very disappointed
