From the very beginning we’ve know that the war in Ukraine would turn on not just battlefield outcomes and bravery, but policy decisions made in foreign capitals.
With the election of Donald Trump, it’s clear that US policy in Ukraine is about to shift. What is less clear is how and what the results will be.
And so today we discuss the closing moves of the Biden presidency and what some of the objectives and challenges might be for the Trump administration regarding Ukraine in 2025.
I am genuinely hoping that Trump’s ego pushes him to end the war on Ukraine’s terms by massively tipping the scales in their favour.
I know many republicans are eastward facing as the main threat but a destabilised Europe would make any other conflict so much harder to deal with and everyone knows China is looking at Ukraine to see how quickly they can push for Taiwan.
