Ukraine ping
Trump will likely cut the Gordian knot and give Ukraine everything it needs to win. It comes down to one thing. If Putin wins, he becomes the big man in the Trump era. Now, if we were in the Age of Imperialism, Trump could one-up Putin by, say, conquering the Americas, and come up on top. But the American appetite for territorial conquest died with that last gasp of the Spanish American War - the Philippine-American War. So the way Trump stays on top is by denying Putin his victory. Similarly, any Xi attempt to conquer Taiwan during Trump’s tenure will run into Trump’s determination to prevent any foreign leader from one-upping him while he’s in charge.
I don’t believe that Trump wants to go down in history as the president that lost Ukraine. He will support Ukraine with effective weapons and intel.
Trump will figure out and develop a plan by giving somebody like Elon Musk a contract to build all the drones for Ukraine.
Trump knows that the MIC is not interested in the war ending soon so he will sidestep the bureaucracy in the MIC.
