Remember when Trump did away with the regulations to register car accidents caused by electric vehicles and self driving mechanisms?
Now there’s no way to prove its a problem with the car when Tesla starts sueing customers in the US, and it learned it can do that from China.
Alas, the message Heggseth is spreading in Trump’s name in Europe and Ukraine is that all will be given to Putin and all the fighting and killing and spending of billions has been moot.
No US protection, no NATO soldiers in Ukraine to keep peace.
No return of taken lands, no reparations to be paid by invader russia.
No NATO membership.
No large Ukrainian army allowed.
And ofcourse: No guarantees that Putin won’t return to forcibly claim the rest or destroy Ukraine 5 years on.
And it is not spoken of but the valuable resources go to Russia, not the US. The seized Russian assets ofcourse will be given back to Putin under a gesture of severe groveling and kneeling by the west.
In effect, the USA lost all and Putin won the conflict.
Think about it … the USA LOSES this conflict against a severely outclassed enemy. Only because Trump is afraid of his idol Putin.
