Agreed, and that would be economic suicide for Hungary (as we know from experience)
It would be encouraging to see Russia's influence diminishing in elections

Most of Ukraine's rare earth's are in the Donbas...
Trump tried and failed to get a deal on them with Ukraine, now he's talking to russia.
But they already moved to trade in the Yuan, and have sold a lot of mineral rights (and land) to china for their support...

Unlikely, China has too much influence over them and want the yuan as the predominant currency. They are unlikely to ever ally with you, not when they could attack whilst your focus is elsewhere.
And it would STILL be the fault of us citizens who won't take action to end this farce..

And why would our invasion be a preferable outcome to Americans growing a backbone and getting this guy out?
Why would American citizens allow them to invade Canada or Greenland?
The responsibility is theirs, and if we get drafted to defend NATO to clean up their mess, that's STILL on them

Why would we invade you and lose our soldiers lives?
If enough of you cared, you could go out tomorrow and end his presidency without bloodshed.
Everyone down tools for a couple of days, get to mass rallies at your states seats of power and dont spend money where possible to crash the economy.

Congress understand the importance of fighting wars on other peoples territories.
Trump doesn't.
Which is odd considering he renamed the "department of defence" the "Department of War" 🙄

Trump didn't write that, his backers did.
And they will survive his dementia and seek to keep their death grip on the republican party and American politics.
But it overstates your influence over Europe.

We are, every country is increasing manufacturing capacity in a co-ordinated manner.
Germany will even be producing patriots by 2027, meaning the US can effectively be shut out.

I agree it is Ming Vase strategy.
But we could slowly use tighter integration to cut taxes, the cost per penny is:
All tax rates: £8.5
Lower rate only: £7bn
NI: £4.6BN
Theres allegedly a £90bn Brexit shaped, That's how you sell it to gammons I feel, slowly reintegrate, then give them the money

I choose to interpret it as he is slowly moving the needle.
If he comes out and says "we are rejoining" then there would be uproar
A better way is to secure better terms and let people SEE the benefits of rejoining, perhaps by cutting the tax burden, then integrate more.

It's also worth noting that many of the countries with these "Agreements" have never had them pass their parliament/legislature unlike ICC commitments
If push ever came to shove the legal process in their country would should see a US citizen arrested on an ICC warrant
US Citizens aren't special.

That's not how Article 98 works it's not unilateral, it's a provision to respect other bilateral agreements, the US has around 100 of those, mostly with countries it strongarmed into them with the threat of aid withdrawal

And as outlined, may not work in practice.

Not always with the consent of the US
Even the USEmbassy.Gov website explains that whilst in a foreign country you are subject to that countries laws.

And in this hypothetical situation he isn't in the US where US law applies.
US law does not supercede European law in Europe.
If he was under an arrest warrant and lands in say France he would be arrested.
That's how that works, we aren't beholden to the US and increasingly resent its actions
