” and then for the US to sell replacement Patriot systems to Germany”
I couldn’t give a crap about the money as we can print whatever we need. But I do care about the fact that we’re pushing are actual ALLIES, like Japan, South Korea, and other countries to the back of the line when it comes to getting Patriots, even though they BADLY need them, giving how threatening China is becoming.
The 25% number being circulated is based on recent Pentagon upward revisions of how many missile systems are needed based on our recent Ukraine and Middle East experience.
The good news is that is that it seems that Trump has finally pretty much beaten down the Zelensky / EU / US Uniparty war coaition and it looks like Zelensky has been given the word by Lindsey Graham that it's time to face reality and stop demanding crazy terms from Russia and accept realistic proposals from Putin.
Until Team Ukraine faces reality, there really is nothing to negotiate between the Ukraine and Russia.
Now Trump is also putting public pressure on Putin come to an agreement as well.
A lot of this public posturing is carefully scripted and stage managed and it would not be surprising if Putin was helping write the script.
I suspect that progress will be made in the near future. Some times you have to take the long and tortuous path to get from where you are to where you want to be.
