Fuck it. Start somewhere.
As an American, I hope this continues.
Exactly as Putin wanted.
A united Europe and an isolated America? Perhaps the latter part sure, but people who think what went down at the oval office is what Putin wanted I think are imagining too much. That was off-script, that messes up everyones plans, especially if Trump and/or Vance are indeed Russian assets. Russia very much intended on a terrible deal with Ukraine to be signed with Europe cheerily in step, now there is no deal so the fighting continues and Europe is united with Ukraine as though the war just started. And while I think China will do the smart thing and remain neutral, they could steal the spot of the number one global superpower if they united with Europe against Russia and USA (fat chance but just saying.)
Yeah, the ideal situation for Putin would be for Trump to betray Ukraine in such a way that still pays lip-service to their assumed role as defenders of democracy so that, while Europe might be pissed off, they don't have quite the impetus they need to overcome the inertia the USA has built up over decades of trade and military alliances and openly oppose them.
Trump has always been Putin's useful idiot, but we're seeing the "idiot" part overtake the "useful" part here.
Non EU countries would probably aim to make BRICS stronger
I'm not certain Putin saw that coming. He may make use of it though.
This specific event? No, of course not. An ostracized America? Yes.
America needs ostracizing. I say this as an American.
