trump talking about asking china and russia to demilitarize because usa makes the best weapons(i guess he wants to sell american weapons to the world), or to decrease their nuclear arsenal, is peak desperation. the tariffs and trying to bring manufacturing back home is the last hurrah before the empire crashes and burns to a crisp. question is, how much of that fall will he be able to withstand whilst in office and what will fall on the shoulders of his successor. 2030 will be lit.
Instead of reacting to ragebait slop, try seeing what Trump needs to accomplish in raw terms.
It is a game of trade figures between US, Europe and China:
* Europe does +200B dollars with US, and -200B with China, net= 0
* US does -300B to China, -200B to Europe, net = -500B
* China does +200B with Europe, +300B with US, net = +$500B
These are the the cold hard monetary facts about the current global trade balance that Trump sees and is seeking to rebalance in the US's favor
Just on these terms alone, this is why Trump needs to ditch Project Ukraine, make some kind of amends with Russia and re-focus on Project China.
If during this time, Europe insists on still acting like a bunch of crying babies, the EU Project will be dead inside of 4 years, and that prediction comes from the EU itself.
Geopolitically Trump = money 1st while Europe = ideology 1st.
Guess which approach wins?
