A subreddit for those who are dedicated to the establishment of a democratic and federal European Union.
"That's right allies, you're only as good as what you offer."
Cynical as it is, that's what makes them "vital".
Trump and Vance are obviously monstrous pieces of shit, and helping Ukraine is pretty objectively correct both morally and strategically, but losing Taiwan, specifically TSMC would do a pretty incredible amount of damage, while losing Ukraine would empower Russia, but otherwise do fairly limited damage to US interests.
Definitely a Trumpian philosophy.
I think Ukraine is more vital to the US because it's funny as shit watching Russian soldiers get turned inside out.
And it's a major source of global wheat production.
And there are tons of important minerals there (main story).
Also, natural gas reserves are quite massive.
As soon as Ukraine has fallen: achtually, taiwan isn't that important.
Is this a subtle hint that Putin wants trump to move the US away from a 2 war capability?
