It could become something else, but European (outside of Zelenskyy) and Canadian leaders are moving too slow for not having read the Russian/US writing on the wall.
I fear for Ukraine and us.
Trump only cares about getting $$$/social recognition for himself, could also be a Russian asset.
His whole admin is destroying the US govt structures to create maximum chaos, it will not follow usual logic.
