I am still trying to think through what happened yesterday. Not so much about Ukraine, but the much bigger picture. Most importantly, where does it leave us. Clearly, Trump cannot be trusted. That was brought home to me for real. Is Trump going to reorganise the world on the hemisphere principle which I posted about earlier. Many experts are now thinking that is possible. Did the American people want a wholesale change in foreign policy. If America pals up with Russia, how does that affect all the weapon systems we and the rest of Europe rely on. The uncertainty is a huge problem for me. Would a future Democratic president then change things. How can we plan on this basis. Are Germany going to commit to proper armed forces. Should we re-join the EU for economic security. There is a lot to think about!
