An invader now sending wounded soldiers on crutches for its “meat wave” assaults does not signal imminent victory

The EU needs to increase their contributions to make Trump irrelevant.

yogireben.bsky.social•32 days ago

yes! it must be noted that Russia also does not ... "have the cards"

Trump just stretched the war considerably.
But it doesn't mean Ukraine will loose. It might will be a bit harder for a while until Europe ramps up. But Europe is determined to protect Ukraine.
US weapons are not the only ones in the world.

Exactly yes and all Ukrainian has to do is take it to putins front door and hit him where it hurts his people.

Hopefully the Europeans see an opportunity not merely to help Ukraine but to humiliate Trump. It's certainly there for them if they want it.

So giving the advantage to Russia

Real question is if/when Trump decides to actively back Russia with money, arms, and plausibly US military personnel.

I fear there will be a larger coordinated effort to carve up a number of sovereign territories, instead of a joint military operation in Ukraine.😞

That’s what I’m afraid of

Came here to say this. He will absolutely help them.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear just that during his State of the Union speech.

Do you support US military fighting & dying for Putin's glory?!?

aangtifa.bsky.social•32 days ago

I mean, they wouldn't be able to sustain without US help, but I think Trump's outburst may have helped Europe rally around them stronger than before and provide more aid.

why is Trump so determined to get Ukraine to surrender? He is against them and has halted all aid. So he can step back and not be involved. But no, he is pressuring Ukraine to agree to Russia’s terms. Why is Trump involved at all at this point? What is driving him to support Russia so completely?

jogobonit0.bsky.social•32 days ago

Is it as shallow as him wanting a Nobel Peace prize? He keeps saying he wants peace. Sure he does 🤦‍♂️ He wants the Nobel Peace Prize.
