There is no need to fear, Trump WILL betray Ukraine. You can stop all your worrying.

Everybody with even a minimally functioning brain knew that Ukraine was an expendable pawn for the west. The real story is that the US will throw Europeans under the bus as well.

I mean, that is a very valid fear but I'm not sure why Europe's leaders don't take over the US share of enabling Ukraine's defense if that's how they feel.

Because Europe is materially incapable of filling in America's shoes.

European countries spend too much on their people's well-being to properly outfit a military as massive and bloated as America's.

Also, rich that in the same breath that you ridicule American defense spending, you cry that Europe is too poor to come to its own defense. Some real mental gymnastics there.

What he means is, Europeans get a better return on the taxes they pay than Americans do, but their leaders are still fuckwits.
