"Die Macht der USA in der Welt wird schwinden."

Trumps Rücksichtslosigkeit im Umgang mit langjährigen Partnern stärkt die strategische Position Chinas und Russlands, analysiert @linaskojala.bsky.social bei LRT aus Litauen 🔽

"The US's power in the world will dwindle."

Trump's ruthlessness in dealing with long-standing partners strengthens the strategic position of China and Russia, according to @linaskojala.bsky.social's analysis in LRT

6/ Bottom line: Anyone claiming to know exactly what Trump will do on Ukraine likely knows more than Trump himself. This ambiguity could mean hope for those advocating for sustained support.

5/ Optimistic Note: Trump offered no clear policy commitments regarding Ukraine. While this uncertainty might seem unhelpful, it leaves the door open to continued U.S. support. The scope for potential actions remains broad.

4/ These points align closely with narratives promoted by Russia, making them troubling from Ukraine’s perspective.

3/ Concerning #2: The repeated narratives aren’t favorable for Ukraine.

- Trump blamed NATO’s open-door policy toward Ukraine for provoking Putin’s aggression.
- He suggested a peace deal could’ve been struck but claimed (inaccurately) Biden prioritized NATO membership for Ukraine instead.

2/ Concerning #1: Trump repeats the same statements he's made in the past about Ukraine. Even the sentence structures remain unchanged. This suggests Ukraine is not a priority in his internal considerations, unlike other topics where his interest and enthusiasm are clearer.
