Trump is an idiot, but he is still an expert in manipulation. So I wouldn't be surprised if this was exactly what he wanted. He has been very consistent that Europe needs to do more on defense, and now we do.

True, but it will, over time, seriously damage the US military industry. Europe won’t want to spend their money there, and nobody wants equipment that can only be used as approved by Trump.

I think so too, Trump is an idiot, so even getting what he wants, he doesn't really understand the implications.

No Trump is in bed with Putin. He wanted Ukraine to just roll over and die and Putler to win. This is not in his plans. And no he's not an expert in manipulation.

It shall be interesting to see how he reacts.

He literally just spewed a bunch of russian propaganda. Said Ukraine needs to hold an election and that zlenski has a 4% approval rating. He's a traitorous piece of shit.

Yes seems like betting on the lowest denominator regarding Trump is the safer bet.
It will still be interesting to see how he reacts to mostly every country in the world being against him on this?
