So the US defense minister has revealed to not only be a drunk but also a treasonous piece of filth.
He pretty much advocating surrender to Putin, saying Ukraine should get neither their territory back nor real security guarantees. And while slavishly rolling over for Putin saying it was somehow Europe, not the traitors of the US were being bad allies

I'd ask "how do you get the metals if Russia controls the land at the end of the war?" but he clearly doesn't give a shit. Odds are he won't even remember
Yeah, looks like Putin's going to win after all. Sure, very costly, and Russia was made to look weak, but he could well get to keep large slabs of the country he wanted to conquer, get a peace deal to rebuild and fix the serious issues demonstrated with the Russian military, and watch this space in 5-10 years.
Trump always wants to get stuff and have other people or countries pay for it.
And while he got away with this as a businessman because fighting a billionair in court over unpaid invoices is often not worth it in the US, he usually fails with this in international relations. He did not get his mexican paid wall. He did not get his protection extortion money from Korea. Even the tarriffs are basically this in his opinion(other countries pay and it goes to the treasury and as a result the trade impalance shrinks - not that it actually works this way but he has a simple mind) and he never got what he wanted from those.
He will also not get the Gaza strip for the US while Jordan and Egypt take in the Palestinians and the saudis pay for them.
And he won't get his Ukraine wishes that boil down to him getting to be the peace deal broker and Europe provide all the future funds and all the future guarantees taking all the risks alone while also buying more US weapons and the Ukraine gives him valuable ressources as thank you.
