And the most important thing is that once Trump finally cuts off even the sale of weapons paid for with European money, all intelligence sharing, and access to Starlink (and I think he will go all the way, because he's gone too far in his hysterical terror of the coming electoral defeat and has completely lost his head over promises of corrupt deals with the Kremlin) -- Putin will no longer have any use for him. Trump will have done everything he can possibly do to hurt Ukraine, forced it to find at least partial replacements for everything American, completely and irreversibly destroyed the last remaining shreds of the Western world's trust in the United States and America's role in the free world, and then he'll be tossed onto the garbage heap by Putin without getting anything substantial in return. I don't think Putin and his mafia consigliere will even have to keep dangling the carrot in front of Trump and his cronies after that. Trump will stubbornly keep shooting himself in the foot over Ukraine until the bitter end, keep salivating over promises of "$12 trillion deals," and never, ever admit to his own greatest mistake.
