So it’s official: Washington is pulling the plug on military aid to Ukraine. At Congressional hearings this week US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth confirmed the Trump administration has a “very different view” of the war in Ukraine to that of Joe Biden’s – and insisted that a “negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation’s interests.”
Russia has been a European issue to deal with for centuries. The current mess is because of US interference after WW2 and all the Cold War crap. Russia has always wanted to be treated as part of Europe and have a year-round warm water port. Two things that the aristocracy/oligarchy have fought to deny them. Climate change is giving Russia the portsl, while Trump is handing them a new relationship with Europe. The US leaving Europe should have happened decades ago and should be viewed as a good thing; ripping off the band-aid/plaster.
