The positive is that it looks like Europe will be heavily stepping up in terms of military funding etc. It’s not like the US is just going to cut off Ukraine, guaranteed they’ll still happily sell them a ridiculous amount of ammunition etc.
The really big possibility would be the removal of sanctions by the US on Russia, which would be a huge boon for Putin.
I have thought this was the intention since the election campaign. Same as his “Abraham accord/deal of the century” in the middle east in term 1, it was immediately rejected by the Palestinians, but the point was to provide a fig leaf for Israel to normalise relations with the Gulf states and Morocco.
It’s a bit of a weird one. 0.71% is going directly to Ukraine and the rest is earmarked to stay in Poland to assist Ukrainian refugees. I’m assuming as with all political donations that’ll be ridiculously open ended as to where the money would go
I think it’s a core part of his agenda to claim to be ending the democrats wars, he tried to take credit for the draw down in Afghanistan that started with Obama after all.
He needs something he can sell the Republican base to justify caving into the “communist dictator” Putin, so now we’ve got the “Nazi dictator” Zelensky. And America gets cheap Russian oil and inflation is over and the Republicans are in power forever. Never mind that the war isn’t over, it’s Europe’s problem now.
