it's so difficult to guage trump's intentions towards ukraine since, on one had, he extols their mineral deposits in exchange for aid in their war with russia and, on the other hand, he says shit like this.

My prediction is that he'll absolutely dump Ukraine once he realizes what the actual cost of keeping the war going is going to be. Right now he seems to be under the impression that he can strong arm Russia into some kind of a deal, but once Russia rejects that then he's not gonna have any cards left to play.

Imagine if Russia didn’t have nuclear weapons and the ICBM to deliver them.
