TRUMP’S GOAL WITH UKRAINE IS “FAIR”?
Trump is trying to prevent the US equivalent of bankruptcy. He’s trying to shift the strategic burden to the pacific. He’s no longer willing to finance defense of the world’s system of finance, transport, and trade at the expense of the working and middle classes. He’s no longer willing to finance foreign wars. He’s asking the world to pay for their share of the pax americana. He’s demanding the europeans take responsibility for their defense. He’s demanding ukraine find a way to cover the costs of supporting them. He’s demanding at least equal treatment as the rest of the european states – meaning loans not gifts to Ukraine. Americans tried asking the world to bear their share of responsibility nicely since the 90’s. Trump’s not asking nicely. Because asking nicely didn’t work.
