If something actually happens then it finally answers the question whether Trump was a Russian asset or just fucking stupid/cowardly, the latter would be the answer, I'm not holding my breath for a major change but we'll see. There's still about $4bn in PDA which Biden approved last year earmarked for Ukraine that Trump still hasn't touched even though it was already approved for Ukraine outside of his presidency so he had the perfect excuse to utilise it; "Biden already approved it" but he never did. Maybe he finally uses it.
Of course though America's help has to come at a cost, Lol. How are Republicans going to spin things now when they accused Democrats for years of profiteering on this war? Oh well, at least it's something and Europe has the money to buy it on behalf of Ukraine and they should, since Ukraine isn't in any position to buy expensive weapons. Trump could easily seize all of Russia's assets in an instant and use that as payment for supplying Ukraine, Lol. But I don't expect him to do that.
Hopefully Europe doesn't buy American weapons for itself, focus on resupplying our militaries with European systems whilst buying American weapons on behalf of Ukraine and once the war is over, Ukraine can then make a careful transition over to European standard. EU + UK has the choice in the matter since they aren't being attacked, Ukraine has no choice and has to take whatever they can get.
