Trump could "walk away" from Ukraine

It was Trump Junior who came out with this warning. Did he do so because his father wanted him to say it, or was it an off-the-cuff remark to stir things up? I'm sure it's true that Trump would love to stop worrying about Ukraine and the wretched war which next February will have been running for four years. But the US has been the leading light in backing Volodymyr Zelensky ever since Putin's invasion of Ukraine was launched in 2022. Without the US, initially under Joe Biden's presidency, Ukraine would have been conquered by Russia, or at least subjugated to a greater extent than it is now. American weapons, American intelligence, American big-power status, all helped to smother Putin's ambitions to turn Ukraine into a vassel state. The Europeans have played a crucial role, too, notably led by Britain, France and Germany. But they did so knowing that Joe Biden's America was with them all the way to the end whatever the end was going to be. Now Trump Junior says his father is ready to back off, and presumably just leave it to the Europeans. This will be music to the ears of Putin who has been working hard to split up the US-led alliance. He reckoned a long time back that eventually the US and Europe would divide over Ukraine.He must be very pleased that he was right. As I have said many times before, the war will go on and on.
