Is there any actual reason to believe Trump would drastically change the Ukraine war like libs are saying? No way the ruling class of the US will let him fuck up this situation.
I can’t see him accepting Russian terms politically. He’s floated the idea of a freeze and delaying NATO membership, but Russia already categorically stated that they won’t go for that. However, I think what he’ll do is cut funding, and that will force Ukraine to surrender sooner.
I have heard this fear expressed too that Trump would somehow bail on project Ukraine and NATO as a whole but I recall him also having similar bluster in 2016 and we know how that turned out. I haven’t seen any serious evidence to prove it and I personally cannot foresee a situation where he unilaterally just pulls out as a vanity project given what is at stake, and who the stakeholders are. If there was a case to be made I’d be open to hearing it tho, I am not an expert. I think it’s just dems slinging mud
