This is the guy who decided to move out of Afghanistan after all these years of allied effort in time in which Afghanistan had to be transformed into something like Japan after WWII. Why? Because the Afghans needed at least another 20 years to leave feudal values behind and change into something like today’s Japan or today’s South-Korea. So this was a huge mistake and D. Trump is not someone who will not repeat similar mistakes in Ukraine
I definitely disagree. After the Ukrainian phone call got him his first impeachment, Trump detests the nation and Zelenskyy. Not to mention he's so busy fellating Putin that he won't consider America's own national interest.
We don’t really know who and what Mr. Donald Trump is:
There is a book by someone called Régis Gente (which I didn’t read yet) in which it is speculated that the KGB started to invest in several personalities since the late 70’s it saw as potentially “influential men” in 30, 40, 50 years’ time. The book has not been translated to other languages yet but Russia specialists are talking a lot about this book in the French-speaking world:

+ The situation in the Ukrainian Front is not good at all. Ukrainian forces are already overstretched and specialists say that if the Russians manage to break the Ukrainian front at some place, the whole Ukrainian army could go down within days.
/ Negotiating is not an option either because signing an agreement with Putin does not have any meaning other than giving Putin’s army some extra time to regroup before its next attack.
Thumpalumpagus:
This is not the generation of the 1930’s. We are still a generation which has been numbed by consumerist values and is unable to react quickly in the face of existential threats lie Climate Change. 20th century Americans would not elect someone with many legal issues on his back like Donald Trump. If Watergate had happened today, Nixon supporters would write posts on Twitter defending Nixon’s dishonest actions etc.
Going back to the 90’s, I can still remember how Bill Clinton’s oral-sex scandal had almost pushed him to resignation.
So we might simply have to wait and see. The choice of the American people has to be respected. But I still believe that if Kamala was a man she would probably have won this election.
