Europe is capable of sustaining Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, even if the United States were to decide to completely halt its military support to Kyiv, the senior military official in charge of coordinating Germany’s arms supplies told Reuters.
Major General Christian Freuding said NATO’s European members plus Canada had already exceeded the estimated $20 billion worth of U.S. military aid provided last year to Kyiv.
They accounted for around 60% of the total costs borne by the Western allies, he said.
“The war against Ukraine is raging on our continent, it is also being waged against the European security order. If the political will is there, then the means will also be there to largely compensate for the American support,” Freuding said in an interview.
Even after trumpism is defeated, there’s a lot of trust for the US people to rebuild with their allies.
If the people are so willing to vote in dictator idiot maniacs, then how can other countries trust those same people to not do it again?
It’s the same for European countries at the moment as well. The UK is fairly less trusted right now because they vote idiots like Farage, Hungary is snubbed because Orban is a Russian колбаса sucker - so on and so on.
Those generations that vote these people in will still live a few more decades and as such any goodwill towards them is diminished.
The root goes further than Trump. But Trump sure showed the ugly face of US then hidden shadow.
