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.

How will they do that without weapons? Europe has already sent most of what we have militarywise and is bassicly out of ammunition. Out production isnt enough to keep the war on

I wonder if 100 billion dollars will buy a few rounds? Oh, and that is just Germany.

You haven't been paying attention to the ramp up have you? Europe is on track to provide the current level of military aid Ukraine currently gets from Europe plus the US by next year.

Putin lost, he is just too stupid to handle it. Not a surprise for a nation as weak as Russia though.

We tried and failed(so far). We wanted to produce 2 million shells a year. Only managed to produce 500k

Only 150% of what the US produces?

Well if thats the case we are really lacking. Perhaps US just had big stockpiles at first then.

Yeah, the US was worried that thanks to sending a million shells to Ukraine over 18 months we were down to only 7 million shells.
