European nations are increasingly optimistic that they can support Ukraine financially and militarily against Russia even if President Trump decides to wash his hands of the conflict, as he often threatens, and instead focuses on normalizing relations with Moscow.

Wishful thinking.
One word: riiiight!

Not our circus. not our clowns.

Fine. That’s the way it should be.
Since 2014 it is the Establishment’s war. Part of establishing the new world order.
Whistling past the graveyard.
You win the “Most Funny Thread Title of the Day” award.
Efff Ukraine. Efff Russia too.
Russia is going to get messed up, Ukraine is going to get messed up and this may be the beginning of WWIII. China may join in soon perhaps by attacking somewhere in Asia or with another pandemic which will be a clear sign of the formation of an evil axis and a two-front war scenario. Only problem is this time, unlike WWII, our country is chock-full of communist traitors.
They don’t have their own intelligence agencies?
As Trump Wavers, Europe Is More Optimistic About Defending UkraineHave at it. It's about time.
Saw New York Times and stopped there.
Trump wavers?? Sure NY Slimes.
