Republicans as a whole have become hostile not just to Ukraine but also to European security, to America's traditional alliances and commitments, and to very elementary notions of honour and decency in international affairs. They will support other pro-Moscow crimes and betrayals.

We Europeans are praying for the Ukrainians to do incredible things, to stay in the fight and indeed to be successful in spite of America's betrayal, relying just on themselves, their equipment, and the equipment and intel that we Europeans can still give them.

By being ultra-strong this way, we also maximise the probability of Trump being overthrown. What remains of honourable sentiment in the American population will be energised.
Worst case, America remains hostile... but that's already what we have now.

The U.S. probably then betrays all of Europe completely and openly, but we'll be able to hold our heads high and look at everyone in the eye.
Fact is, we can deter Russia with our existing nuclear weapons, and together with Ukraine, we can defeat Russia conventionally.

Hard choices ahead.
Morally speaking, the most satisfying would be for Ukraine, preferably with a coalition of friendly states, to reject the role of the United States in any future negotiations. Explain that the U.S. is not a trustworthy partner due to its use of deception and blackmail.

Divorces are messy. But a marriage in which your spouse isn't clear about protecting you from a serial killer - a serial killer which your spouse also has lots of phone calls with - is not a "good deal".
The Trump administration makes clear that ongoing US policy isn't simply about the F35. Depriving 🇺🇦 of IMINT & ISR, withholding ECMs from 🇺🇦 F-16s, blocking Gripen sales to Colombia...tend to indicate that it's unwise to rely on Patriot if you can produce SAMP T or on Starlink if Eutelsat can do it
We need to slow down this rush to decouple from us mil tech. Focus on only f35 misguided. Lots of eur industrial participation. 2) nasam, patriot, standard missiles on frigates, p-8: lots of us mil tech. Us industrial interests huge. Provides Leverage
