    His short-termist game plan will cost America dear

    Trump doesn’t give a shit about America. Only his wallet.

      at this point in his existence as a converter of oxygen into carbon dioxide, i don’t even think he really gives a shit about that anymore. sure, taking money is grand and all, but it’s in the back seat somewhere. it’s about power. about vengeance and revenge. about fucking over anyone and everything that opposes him in any way.

    Two weeks.

    I give it two weeks before Trump announces his withdrawal from NATO.

    Anybody brave enough to take the over?

    It’s literally designed to make Ukraine dependent on the us military industrial complex. It took them forever to approve HIMARS, then the f-16s, because political red tape. Afaik, neither are bleeding edge, and designed more to encourage ‘hold the line’ strategies than ‘repel invaders’ ones. The drones seem to be the most effective, though with considerable shorter range and payload capacity. IANAME, any people more familiar with the topic?

    If the Europeans get their act together, any result that reduces the us influence in these matters is a good thing IMO.
