This smells like Fake News.
Especially coming from a Zeeper like you.
I couldn’t care less what Europe does.
Putin knows he has leverage now.
Seems that, contrary to the hopes and expectations of the pro-Russian crowd, Trump is not planning to leave Ukraine to the tender mercies of the Russians.
“… U.S. officials have said in recent days that the Trump administration wants to recoup the billions Washington has spent on the war in Ukraine and that Europe needs to do more to help.…”
****************************************************
The only money that the US has fed toward Ukraine which will recoverable would be any money it can recover from corrupt individuals who had their corrupt fingers involved in the transfers. Lots of “green” rubbed off on those sticky fingers.
Everything the West sends to Ukraine “ burns like all the rest”….a very good observation stated by Vlad himself and recorded video after video.
Strykers, M113’s, M777, M1 Abrams, Bradley’s, MRAP’s, Humvees, Patriots, Leopards,F-16’s, etc, etc, etc. It is becoming obvious proposed Negotiations will give way to “ the realities of the battlefield “, another stated Russian observation.
Cut ALL aid to the corrupted little man in Green, what’s so hard?
Good. Let Europe foot the bill.
How does Europe buying more weapons for Ukraine help with peace negotiations? Smells like moldy fish to me. Most of Europe's NATO members can't even afford to comply with budgeting 2% of their gross national product for their own defense as they previously agreed.
Well, at least Trump has advanced to the point of being open about the graft behind the Ukraine op: "We're just in it for the $$$."
While bullying overseas dependencies might be a step up from bilking taxpayers out to enrich the MIC, it still is a losing proposition for everyone in the long run.
