      Please point to a time when Trump did anything that didn’t benefit Russia

      There’s your answer about whether or not he wants Ukraine to win

      He just wants it to go away. No, I don’t think he wants Ukraine to win at all, he’d hand it all to Putin yesterday if he could. I think there are a few operating braincells in the administration that are preventing him from doing so, whatever the reasons are.

        whatever the reasons are.

        The US politicians use taxpayer money to fund the weapons that get sent to Ukraine. The US weapons manufacturers get that money. The US weapons manufacturers pay the US politicians. No great mystery. Not disagreeing with arming Ukraine, just wish it wasn’t a necessity.

      He wants profit and power. I dont think he cares what happens in order for him to get it. The world is just like one of his companies. You fire people, you treat them badly, anything to get what you want from the entire thing.

      US policy in regards to Ukraine is to bog Russia down. Same thing as when they were fighting in Afghanistan. The longer this conflict goes on, the better for US foreign policy objectives (and weapons manufacturers).

      He never did want Ukraine to win. Either he gets the rare minerals from Ukraine, or he does things in a way to make his BFF Putin owe him one.
