In the news in Europe, it was all about how weak America has become and are hijacked agenda that is not built on facts or reality...
Reality is Putin doesn't stick to deals unless he is forced too. This is his history.. He will not be different because he he is giving a pinky promise...
Think of what Zelensky was asking for... He was saying if Putin breaks his promise, US would kick his ass.. Trump was refusing to say that... Zelensky explained the history and JD Vance went off on one...
It was a set up, Trump wanted 'Great TV'... He is also putting out litmus tests to the GOP... You side with me or you are gone... Linsey Graham couldn't find a microphone fast enough..
EU got the message too, This is Putin's White House and he is running the show.
The President of the US was sitting in front of a leader of a country that was illegally invaded and he was telling the world how Putin and himself have suffered together..
That was the simple message, everyone to your own canoe... Trump doesn't know that instead of all those countries disbanding, they are strengthening their alliances..
Example: Ireland a famously neutral country. Spends next to nothing on Military spending. Have the philosophy, Brits next door spend a fortune on war toys, they are never invading Ireland (tried that, didn't work out)...
Ireland are just putting in a order for 100 million euro a year for planes and want to remove the need for UN approval to send troops abroad.
Let's all be clear. EU people have said yes to more military spending, but none of it is spent in US were absolutely possible..
