'The EU Turned Out to Be a Vassal State to the US' — And Will Pay to Prolong the Conflict 'Till the Last Ukrainian'
“The Ukrainians are bankrupt… the Europeans are going to pay for these armed supplies,” Abobakr Mohamed Abbakar Khussein, Assistant Professor at a Russian university, told Sputnik Africa.
Trump's promises come at Europe's expense—both financially and militarily, he added, commenting on Trump’s announcement that the US and the EU have reached an agreement on supplying weapons to Kiev, with the costs to be borne by Europe.
Key points from Khussein’s commentary:
“Trump would like to make Europeans supply Ukraine with weapons from their own stock…”
Depleting national arsenals weakens EU countries’ own defense.
A Political Bribe in NATO’s Name
“This is considered to be a political bribe.”
Trump's rhetoric pressures NATO allies to raise military spending, not for their own security—but to serve U.S. strategic goals.
EU: "The Second Biggest Loser"
“High unemployment rate, deindustrialization… a vessel state to the US.”
The conflict drains Europe’s economy while fueling American defense contractors.
No Real Shift in US Foreign Policy
“Not a shift… just a way of playing that game.”
Trump’s aggression is performative—more about extracting concessions than ending the war.
“Israel is a priority, not Ukraine or Europe in particular.”
US military resources are stretched—Ukraine is not first in line.
Trump Risks Domestic Fallout
“Continuing supplying arms would create internal popularity decline…”
Escalation could alienate Trump’s base, threatening his 2024 platform.
