Ukraine ping
Trump is the only president for whom a nuclear strike on the US would prompt an attempt at literal genocide on the source country, as in every last person. That strike on hundreds of Russians in Syria over wasteland was a line in the sand. He did what Obama refused to do to a bunch of Libyan rabble to save an ambassador to Libya and what Biden did not to the Houthis to protect a vital shipping lane. The signal to Xi and Putin is that he is insane and he will kill them all if they act up, i.e. use nukes. Heck - Milley thought he was nuts, promised to give the Chinese a heads up.
If Trump was willing to zap Russians over wasteland rather order the GIs to retreat, it’s clear that Biden’s endless blocks on equipment for Ukraine including US equipment from allies, would come to an immediate end. The insanity of Biden’s policies is that he has been scrapping clapped-out equipment, at great expense, Ukraine has requested as-is for it to rebuild into whole vehicles. Give them the factory manuals, sell them the parts, and they will make whole vehicles out of the junk, part out the rest. But Biden refuses. Trump will likely change that, convert the aid package’s focus from propping up Ukraine’s welfare state to shipping it as much of the contents of Uncle Sam’s scrapyard bound inventory as will fit in the funds already approved by Congress. Fighter jet, artillery and tank parity will provide Ukraine the means to push Russia out. Europe can feed Ukraine’s welfare state - that’s what they’re good at.
I think the only motivation for Biden to give our tax dollars away is so he can get his cut. His cut is coming—in hellfire.
Thanks Zhang Fei!
(Trump’s) “signal to Xi and Putin is that he is insane and he will kill them all if they act up”
Effective deterrence.
