Ukraine Could Become Trump's New Afghanistan, or Even Worse - Bloomberg.

Europe Faces Difficulties Due to Reduced Supplies from the USA

Europe is facing serious difficulties due to a shortage of supplies from the USA for its military needs. The defense industry cannot quickly increase weapons production because there are insufficient stockpiles. Unfortunately, the White House ignores allies' calls to restore supplies and impose additional sanctions on Russia to resolve the conflict.

Europe Decides to Collaborate with Ukraine Independently

According to Bloomberg, European countries are considering the possibility of purchasing arms from the USA even if Washington does not supply weapons directly to Ukraine.

«The idea is that if Trump does not want to send weapons to Ukraine, Europe will do it,» sources familiar with the discussions say.

The European Union is also considering the possibility of imposing new sanctions against Russia, including disconnecting Russian banks from the SWIFT system and other measures.

Prospects and Choices for Trump

The situation puts Trump in a position where he must choose between seeking to avoid conflict with Putin and increasing profits for the United States through arms sales. Experts emphasize the importance of providing American weapons to pressure the Kremlin.

«Arming Ukraine with American systems – whether bought or provided – is the only way to make Putin stop the war,» says one expert.

Trump's plan involves reaching out to Congress for funding for Ukraine and demanding that allies transfer more defense systems to the country.

Lesson for Trump

Analysts warn that refusing to cooperate with Ukraine could become a political defeat for Trump and worsen the geopolitical situation in the region.
