Trump disinterested in Europe
It seems Donald Trump isn't interested in Europe and thinks the various countries are run by losers, or at least weak people. The historically close Trans-Atlantic alliance upon which the peace of the world, or the peace of Europe, has depended, is now cast into the bin. Trump is only really interested in America's backyard which is why he has sent a large proportion of the US armed forces into the Caribbean region. It's drugs drugs drugs and illegal immigration which are worryimng him. Not the war in Ukraine and the rising robustness of Russia, nor even China's continuing determination to absorb Taiwan under its communist wing. No, it's Western Hemisphere stuff. That's what's keeping Trump awake at night. So the whole of history is being swivelled around. The only issues that matter are what is going in and out of America, drugs, migrants and trade. It wasn't long ago that Trump was expressing his anger at Putin and vowing to give Ukraine what it wants. Even considering giving them Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles. But all that is out of the window now. He is caring less and less about Ukraine and is happy to let the losers in Europe prop up poor old Zelensky who spends more time in European capitals than he does in Kyiv. Keir Starmer who has spent the morning chatting with Zelensky in Number 10 Downing Street, came out and spoke to reporters and the first thing he did was praise Trump for all his efforts to end the war in Ukraine, but then delivered nothing new himself other than the usual mantra about Ukraine choosing its own future. Zelensky can't cboose his own future, let alone his country's because Putin will just plough on with his war, knowing that his main obstacle, the United States, is now not really a factor. And Putin, like Trump, thinks Europe is full of losers. So, Zelensky will go back to Kyiv with nothing to show for his diplomatic back and forth, apart from a promise from Starmer to hand him all the frozen Russian money sitting in European banks. But we have heard that one before. As Trump would say, let's see what happens on that score.
