well, you obviously know more about this than I do....but is all you say is accurate, then we're in worse shape in this than I imagined.....If the Ukrainians are bolstering defences of a NATO ally with resources (that they have to get from others) I would think that's a little misguided. They need whatever resources they can get in their own battle with Russia.
As someone posted previously, things change quickly in world affairs. Before last week some EU countries were living fat and happy with their Ukraine decisions. After the riots last week, they might have a different perspective....but, you may be right...maybe they'll continue to drain their resources in favor of Ukraine.
I'm not sure "compromised" is the correct word for trump's position. He's put himself in a corner for sure and if democrats take control of the house and Senate there's a chance they might put a lasso around his use of the war powers act - although I believe Senate would need 60 votes to do that. It's hard for me to comprehend how Trump gave up the initiative in this conflict and has allowed the Iranians to take such a role where they "demand" certain things in order to stop attacking ships in the strait. I've posted before, this will be studied and discussed in our War Colleges for years and NOT as the way to do things.
