Not true.
The challenge with China is to build up military strength in the Western Pacific to confront it.
That takes time so there is a combination of Trump saying “I want to meet Xi” alongside tariffs, the drama over fentanyl etc. and above all the military buildup in the Western Pacific.
Ukraine serves no useful purpose in tying down US military strength its ultimately needed to face China.
This whole drama now leads to Europe building up military strength.
It will contribute to the Western Pacific effort as well.
The European aircraft carriers and warships presence near China in the last year speak for themselves.
“The challenge with China is to build up military strength in the Western Pacific to confront it.”
That is one (there are others) of the doubts everyone from Tokyo to Canberra has re the US. As in - will they? The Biden administration had committed to this buildup but has not really gotten anywhere. The Trump admin has said nothing. If they do, what will they say? Will it all be a sacrifice to the Hegseth 8% annual reduction?
The 3:00am choice will be whether or not to send in the fleets when China finally blockades Taiwan. (or seriously bombards it, or seriously bombards the Philippines). Will Trump blink?
