PS. The phrase “gunboat diplomacy” is another leftist concoction, used by them to even pillory defensive foreign policy by the US. Watch them call Trump a gunboat diplomat.
PPS. You are attacking Trump’s policy on what you loosely term “trade agreements”. Another never-Trumper?
A trade agreement is an agreement between two sovereign countries for mutual benefit. You obviously don’t believe that Germany is a nation who can make decisions for itself. The blowing up of the pipeline was a major political event in Germany, and now Germany has halted aid to Ukraine , and the pipeline explosion investigation results was a major factor.
I guess the US can pay for another war in Europe. China is the emerging superpower we should be countering. My sister in law’s family is from Maripol, her mother still exists there. No one in the Family has anything good to say about the tyrant Zelensky.
