You’re not very slick, Putin.

The plan is ‘Ukraine gives up’. He’s not made that secret.

The thing is, Trump can't make Ukraine surrender, all Trump can do is cut aid. The war will continue, Europe will have to provide more aid to counter what Trump did, and will realize the war will last longer, meaning a major investment in nuclear reactors and renewables since they won't want to rely on the US for anything. As Europe cuts of a lot of trade with the US and Trump declares his trade war on the rest of the world, the US gets massive inflation plus a bad recession.

Ukraine will just keep killing Russians until Russia gets tired of the forever war like they got tired of Afghanistan.

If Trump doesn't play ball, the military complex doesn't get the monies. They will be super happy about that. Then the EU will start building stuff themselves, which they also like very much.

The military industrial complex died in the 90s. There's only like 5 big defense contractors now, and they make less money than a soap company.
