      And if europe actually gets their act together they can stop russia in Ukraine. They have to revitalise their arms industry, be more generous with ukraine aid, and use their intelligence agencies to aid the AUF. And it’s vital we counter Putin’s social media information wars so his far right parties don’t win more elections across europe.

      If you look at aid per GDP, Spain, Italy and to a lesser extent France and Germany are the EU countries that need to step up to help fill a possible gap caused by Trump.

        Hopefully north korean shenanigans can convince South Korea to give significant military aid, and Japan’s new more centrist parliament will have more will to help Ukraine than it’s previous more right wing one. After all, Japan is still the fourth largest economy on earth.

        Anyways what I’m saying, is if Trump is elected, it’s no reason to give up on Ukraine. It means we all need to try harder.

            Switzerland has a similar law. But since a far-right pro-“peace” (that means pro-putin) party is our largest party, we’ve hit an unfortunate roadblock. It really sucks because we have so much equipment rotting away we clearly could give to help ukraine.
