For perhaps the first time ever, I disagree with Caitlin, but not because I think Trump is any peacenik or that he would change US policy. Support for the war in Ukraine would diminish for three reasons. One, US allies would be much less willing to follow the US with Trump as president. NATO would likely come apart.. US leadership would be rejected, in part because Trump is very unpopular among the voters in NATO countries. Secondly, the Republican Party is split on the issue of Ukraine and less likely to be militants on the issue than the pack of compliant Democrats currently in control. Third, support for the war is declining now and I expect that to continue. Anyone besides Biden would be more heavily influenced by that decline.
The Hill loves forever wars...this should be obvious to the least informed voter by now. US “allies” don’t follow the person in the office, they respond to threats. and until they get “protection” from elsewhere they will fall in line. The voters in NATO countries don’t matter just like the voters in US don’t. Only their puppet leaders matter.
i agree, no personnel changes can change the course. european 'leaders' will only feel inclined to step up the effort. they're too far gone to make the turn.
