Harris Supports Ukraine: Trump Less Likely

Hi Anonymous. Regarding your comment at 10/24/2024 7:07 AM 

I think if Harris wins the November 5 Election she will continue the Biden policy and scale of US and NATO leadership support for Ukraine. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris_2024_presidential_campaign#NATO_and_Ukraine

But if Trump wins he may broker a peace treaty (mainly in consultation with Putin) that permits Russia to keep Crimea and much of Russia's gains in eastern Ukraine. See the first paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2024_presidential_campaign#Foreign_policy

Trump's covert understanding with Putin might permit Russia to subsequently expand its eastern Ukraine gains in a year or two - with Russia eventually taking Kiev. Trump would give little or no political or materiel support to Ukraine to resist this. Also Trump's US would no longer lead other NATO countries in their support of Ukraine.

We'll see.

Cheers Pete
