Now every single European country—and not only European—thinks about getting its own nuclear arsenal. Germany already negotiates with France to have access to French nukes. Due to the US betrayal of its obligations and promises, now every country—big and small—will strive to build or buy nukes ASAP.

Europe relied on the protection of the "nuclear umbrella" promised by the US to other NATO members in exchange for them spending their defence budgets to buy American weapons. Why do you think Trump insisted on the increase of the budgets? Spoiler: not due to security. It was sales. Now it's gone.

It makes it much easier to monitor and profile every single individual to prevent a crime... or not allow an uncomfortable opinion via personalized "persuasion" actions.

Trump could threaten countries by trying to negotiate a ceasefire. Ukraine had to sign the mineral deal to make Trump finally stop "negotiating a ceasefire".

You offered absolutely ungrounded theoretical opinion with complete absence of understanding of history of Ukraine and Russia, and practical real life experience of communications with Russians for decades—everyone has a right to have an opinion even if it's wrong.

All my life I had to deal with Russians. In majority of cases there is a visceral hatred as to Ukraine. There are few Russians who consider that the invasion is bad. But even among them after a short talk imperial ambitions float to the surface. After all, they consider Ukraine as their property.

Yep. After WWII, German soldiers who killed people by the tens of thousands in gas chambers in concentration camps also said later that they just followed orders.

It's not Putin, it's regular Russians who fight in Ukraine and kill Ukrainians. It's not Putin, it's regular Russians who launch missiles and target Ukrainian cities. It's not Putin, it's regular Russians, foaming at the mouth, tell how they want Ukrainians dead and Ukrainian lands to be stolen.

Would disagree. They say in Russia: "When there is Putin—there is Russia, without Putin—there is no Russia". The whole Russia is complicit in everything that happens. Right now, Putin and Russia are indistinguishable. Russians en masse are the same sadistic and soulless.

What a mess was in his head! One day he saves baby chickens and another he takes kalashnikov and invades Ukraine to kill people. I have so many questions to his parents.

Apparently, Trump has a minimal understanding of the tools and leverage available. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

"He claimed that Denmark was not protecting the security of Greenlanders in the Arctic". The current state of things is nobody would entrust the US to protect anything or anybody since the US is an unreliable ally, even worse than an aggressor who at least doesn't hide its stripes.

True. That's like building a candyshop for Putin: more Americans for Putin to kidnap for exchange.
