He hesitated for a long time. He procrastinated even longer. It took him a long long time to understand that defending Ukraine meant defending those stupid and arrogant Europeans and that defending the european morons meant defending the Americans.
But it finally percolated to the neuron !
And here we are again : the United States will deliver new patriots batteries to Zelensky ! To defend Ukraine against every night russian drone attacks. With an average of 600 drones per night theses times, casualties are worse than those of the Blitz bombings during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Correction: it’s not the United States who delivers missiles anti-missiles batteries, but NATO. Because Trump must be able to tell his voters that NATO is acting alone, it’s not him personally who decides. And besides, it’s those european morons who will pay batteries to NATO. Always this short term money problem – hey, who pay the drinks at the bar ? As if freedom could be a financial matter.
As regards to the economic weapon (indirect customs duties at a prohibitive level, on countries importing Russian oil, for example India), we wait to see how many times Trump will change his mind in the next 5 months, the time he gives them to stop gorging themselves on cheap energy.
