Let’s unpack Trump’s evolving stance on Ukraine a bit more today.

Trump came into his second term strapped with his loyalty vacuum, purging anyone who wouldn’t kiss the ring. This left Trump with a lackluster roster, many of whom had acquired a taste for Russian propaganda. All of that led to Trump giving Putin an extraordinarily long leash.

After six broken promises of peace, Melania talked some reality into Trump, and he is now pulling back on the lead. The question now is not whether to oppose Russia, but where to draw the line. US support for Ukraine has come cheaply so far, but nuclear retaliation from Russia is still looming on the horizon.

We still don’t know where Trump will take this, but his stance on both Russia and Ukraine is quickly changing.
