Good. Europe can deal with this problem.
We should never have gotten involved.

Oh no! There goes Z’s US supporters main reason to have killed over a million innocent Slavs, Our Blood Money!
Holy pump and dump, Batman!
Mr. President, a request.
Some shock and awe tomorrow night aimed at our...SNORT...allies.
If our tax money’s been going to keep Europe’s welfare states afloat, how about dropping a few receipts.
And letting them know we want our money back.
I wonder if the Euros will insist on Renewable Energy to power all this military hardware they will acquire.
Battery powered Tanks and APCs are the future, if climate change is existential, then renewable energy vehicles are required.

WOW talk, talk, talk. I hope they do provide their own defense. They are going to need it after the muzzards they invited in, and adore so much, get really uppity.
The fact that Europe is the biggest buyer of US arms allows the US military to benefit from the manufacturing scale these sales generate. The fear circling in European capitals is that because they buy from the US the US has say over their defense policy. If they want to support Ukraine and the US says no, then they can’t send any hardware which contains US tech. That’s probably most of it. If we lose those sales, then the cost of the US military will go up a lot and we won’t get any benefit from all that extra money we’ll have to spend. Knowing Congress, they’ll simply trim the budget. The navy, especially, is in critically bad shape from all the continuing budgets of the last twenty years. You can’t plan on new ships or upgrades to infrastructure if you only get whatever you got last year.
Oh, the European leaders might spend some more money on weapons.
They’ll spend ten billion bucks and buy some yachts and mansions and give Ukraine some shovels.
Somebody’s getting rich off all this.
But we are all being manipulated Europe’s aircraft carriers (Italy and France) in Pacific waters in the last year.
The UK’s carrier “Prince of Wales” headed there.
German and Canadian warships transit the Taiwan Strait as well as American ones.
It’s about China when I was younger inside the beltway thinking was China would be the problem by this time.
Donald Trump has positioned his words-actions on China to meet the long-term thinking and planning inside the beltway.
Europe can wear the “Ukraine Mask” to justify diverting spending away from foreign aid and social programs but its about confronting China in the end.
Oh, lookie! Trump is going to strengthen their economies as well as ours.
War is a racket.
US ain’t rescuing Europe from its own idiocy this time. EU is on its own. Blow yourselves up. Have fun.
1) Zelenskyy was the one who staged this "set-up" and planned it well in advance. All along he has been unwilling to work with the Trump administration.
2) Zelenskyy wants one of two things, continued war with unlimited funding and weaponry OR a "security agreement" which is the equivalent of joining NATO - he wants NATO to defend Ukraine with boots on the ground i.e. no more proxy war but a direct confrontation of NATO and Russia - not gonna happen.
If they can do this, then they can give it ti Ukraine and leave us out. President Trump is proved right again. They can pay for it themselves and they do NOT want peace. They want war...
