US leaders fumble Ukraine
European allies worry about US leaders fumbling Ukraine as Trump, Rubio and Hegseth face criticism.
“It is hard for european allies to know which is worse, hearing their sacrifice in the us-led war in afghanistan mocked by pentagon chief pete hegseth, seeing his state department counterpart marco rubio dissembling about the interruption to starlink service in ukraine, or watching the commander-in-chief of the free world blithely end sanctions on russia.”
Midterms could change policy
A huge political defeat for trump might shift us foreign policy, though many hope for biden or obama eras.
“One option is to sit tight and hope that next month’s mid-terms will bring deliverance.”
US distraction risks Ukraine
Constitutional tussles may make the us more distracted and unpredictable for ukraine aid.
“More likely is that constitutional tussles will make the us even more distracted and unpredictable.”
The headline
European allies warn that US political chaos risks worsening Ukraine aid amid midterms.
