President Trump has just executed the best act of political ju jitsu that any of us are likely to see in our life times.

In one fell swoop he has shut down the US piggy bank for Ukraine and effectively Europeanized the war in Ukraine. It's their tar baby now and the Europeans get to pay for it.

The best part is that they will pay for that war by buying from America.

Under the new agreement between 1-2% of EU GDP is going to go to the purchase of US weapons to help fund our military rebuild and obtain far greater economies of scale and lower costs for US weapons production .

These NATO weapons purchases are , of course, part of a NATO military rebuild and are this separate and on top of any additional EU spending to buy weapons to give to the Ukraine (which is probably going to be minimal) to keep their war going in the Ukraine

One of the very few products that the US can quickly sell to the EU to balance trade deficits is US weapons. And it's not like the EU is going to levy tarriffs on US arms that they are buying.

And while the Trump secondary tariff threat looks on the surface like it is targeted to countries like India and China, the tariffs are really going to devastate the EU economy - especially for Germany, Fiance, Great Britain, Belgium and other EU countries that, along with China, have been sabotaging the Trump peace initiatives and who have been pushing Zelensky to fight on to the last Ukrainian soldier and the last American funded Patriot missile system .

Plus any restrictions on Russian oil and gas may or may not impact Russia but they will really help further Trump's agenda to make the US a major supplier of oil and natural gas to the EU

And best of all, the attempts by President Trump's enemies, foreign and domestic , to suck Trump into a disaster in Ukraine and blame him for Ukraine's downfall are pretty much short circuited

Ending the war in Ukraine is now very high on the list of priorities of China, France, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and a bunch of other malicious actors who have been working overtime to keep the war in Ukraine rolling.

This agreement is a mixed bag for Russia but it's a poison pill for the Western and Chinese war mongers and their desire to extend their Ukrainian proxy war.

Congrats to Team Trump for a master stroke political move to end the Ukraine war and really help implement the MAGA agenda and help rescue the struggling Biden blighted American economy in the process.
