Summary
Donald Trump’s return to the White House signals a shift toward “America First” foreign policies, emphasizing non-interventionism and trade protectionism.
Trump has vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine war “in a day” through negotiation, though critics argue his approach may weaken Ukraine’s position.
In the Middle East, he promises to bring “peace,” likely reverting to pro-Israel policies and a hard line on Iran, which could further destabilize the region.
On China, Trump may re-escalate trade tensions and take a tough stance on Taiwan by threatening severe tariffs to deter Chinese aggression.
Ukraine is fucked as much as it saddens me to say.
Nah, Russia could barely handle a Ukraine with heavy restrictions on how they could use weapons.
Poland could kick Russia’s ass.
The reason Russia couldn’t handle Ukraine was only because of huge amounts of weapons coming from NATO, more than half from the USA, starting from long before the war started with huge numbers of MANPADS and ATGM’s . If NATO’s resolve weakens, countries will fall one by one to Russia, as its military and production capabilities are still many times larger than any country in Europe.
Either way, it’s a catastrophy for the european economy. The past 5 years will feel like a walk in the park compared to what’s to come if Trump follows up on his promises. We’re talking about mass migration like we haven’t seen in 80 years and inflation that’s magnitudes worse than we’ve seen the past couple years. I’m almost looking forward to our elections next year in Germany because right wing will almost certainly win and then crumble under the pressure of what’s likely to come.
You’re forgetting that if Russia takes Ukraine it can use their resources to continue fighting.
Nazis were weak when they attacked Czechoslovakia and then Poland.
Hasn’t Poland been amassing arms? I’ll admit I’m not well versed in the area, but one creator I like to watch continues to mention that Poland has been on a massive buying spree.
