Watch the video for details but these are the key points:
A Trump Victory doesn't necessarily mean the end of support for Ukraine:
1. Russia has not completed all of its objectives, so they may not want a deal. They need to take the Baltics/Poland eventually to shorten their border with NATO because of the large mountain ranges in Ukraine/Poland.
2. If Russia stops fighting, its economy collapses the next day. This will result in President Putin's removal from power. They are running a war economy with high inflation/interest rates. If they stop their war, what will support their economy?
3. President Trump knows that supporting Ukraine means deterring China from attacking Taiwan. Taiwan makes 90+% of the high-end chips. China will attack Taiwan on either 04/2027 or 10/2027 because those are the only times in the year the weather makes it possible. 2027 is the time frame China is planning for. If NATO can't support Ukraine which has a rail line from Poland, why wouldn't China attack Ukraine when they can't create their own high end chips?
