Existentional need doesn’t mean anything to Europe. As far as they are concerned, they are the chosen ones, have there been for ages, no one is going to fight. Plus financially broken and all of these Africans and Arabs there, who absolutely don’t care - a chaos.

Trump is the chaos too, but at least somewhat organized and not a zombie, he shows some action after his words. While EU is all words but no action

I call bullshit on Monika. The Europeans have been invaded and had bloody world wars on their soil twice in the last century. They aren't going to stand for being invaded again. Giving the Taurus to Ukraine would scare the scheisse out of Russia. As it should.

Trump is so much worse than chaotic. Your description of Trump could be applied equally aptly to Putin, even if Putin is actually more a man of action. You are unable to see that Trump is fully aligned with Putin. The nationalist right shares a delusion that Trump is pulling a reverse-Kissinger. Regardless, the evidence that Trump is acting to weaken and plunder Ukraine in concert with Russia is by now plain.

How about all the help Ukraine is getting from the US vs EU? French miracle airplanes/ fighting jets are not so miraculous after all. Production and training of the Ukrainian pilots is painfully slow.

But I have to go to work now.

Maybe continue tomorrow, so long as, good by, auf wiedersehen…

Trump is poised to cut all aid to Ukraine. That's the reality that we must deal with.
