Ukraine was handicapped by poor allies and is now handicapped by a handicap in the US. They are struggling no doubt, war isnt nice but so too are Russia. I personally think if the US election had gone in a different direction, to someone with a spine, the war would be ending and Russia in collapse.
I agree with that, but that doesn’t change the fact that the US election went to Donald Trump, who has no interest in curbing Russia’s imperial ambitions.
Agreed, even though it goes against his own plans for China. The US will become less relevant, and one would hope the reaction to the markets would be to end the loyalism.
Absolutely, I have never liked the US presence in Europe but it did fill a need that Europe wasn’t. Unfortuneately for the US though it filled a need for them too and becoming less focused, more aggressive and divisive will create space for closer ties between the EU and most likely China, but definitely other economic trading blocks.

Let’s hope so. Europe’s reliance on the US for security has paved the way for this.
