Aside from potential economic upsides, the only really interesting thing about the Trump election relates to what is going to happen in the Ukraine.
Whether Trump is actually going to do anything about this stupid fake war is unclear. He said recently he’s going to appoint either Mike Pompeo or Tom Cotton as head of the Defense Department, which is totally insane and disconnected from his stated policy against the Ukraine.
The White House plans to rush billions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine before President Joe Biden leaves office in January, sources said on Wednesday, hoping to shore up the government in Kyiv before President-elect Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
“The administration plans to push forward … to put Ukraine in the strongest position possible” a senior administration official said on condition of anonymity, before its term ends in January.
Trump has been critical of Biden’s assistance for Ukraine, fueling concern about the future of support for President Volodomyr Zelenskiy’s government under a Republican-controlled White House, Senate and possibly the House of Representatives.
…
Of the weapons transfer authority passed in April, $4.3 billion remains, in addition to $2.8 billion worth of transfers lawmakers approved in previous spending measures and $2 billion in funding for the purchase of new weapons from industry.
In total, that $9 billion in military assistance would be a significant boost to Ukraine’s stores.
…
The U.S. will continue to send munitions and anti-tank weapons such as the Lockheed Martin and RTX Javelin to Ukraine in the coming months.
This isn’t going to be enough money to make any difference, and it’s more likely that the Democrats simply wants to push off the collapse of the Ukraine onto Trump so they can whine about how he abandoned Our Second Greatest Ally.
Mitch McConnell, a disreputable dweeb who is married to a Taiwan spy, is pushing for Trump to never end the endless war on Russia.

Zelensky himself is saying that everything is great.
I had an excellent call with President @realDonaldTrump and congratulated him on his historic landslide victory—his tremendous campaign made this result possible. I praised his family and team for their great work.
We agreed to maintain close dialogue and advance our…

For us in Ukraine, and all across Europe, it has always been crucial to hear the words of the then 45th President of the United States about “peace through strength.”

It’s not clear what else he could say. The other option would be to claim his terrorist campaign is doomed because Trump is going to pull the plug, which would not help his position.
After October 7th, when it became clear to me that Trump was going to win, I started saying that Trump would wind down the war in the Ukraine to whatever extent in order to ratchet up the Middle East conflict. Basically, I’ve said that over and over for a year now, and I don’t really have a different analysis than that. It may or may not play out that way.
The Russian yenta Janet Yellen claimed after October 7th that the US could easily fight wars in the Ukraine and Middle East with no problem.

However, Bibi Netanyahu himself has been noncommittal on the Ukraine conflict, and if anything has appeared to be against it. Obviously, the only reason he would have for not supporting a war against Russia (an enemy of Israel) is that he wants his own agenda to be prioritized.
Trump is going to be taking orders only from the Israeli and de facto Israeli Jews. Jared Kushner is confirmed to be a big part of the transition team, which is headed by a different extremist Jew, so the entire administration is going to be lined with Zionist lunatics.
Cotton and Pompeo are both supporters of the Ukraine, but they are no doubt more committed to Israel, either though neither of them is biologically Jewish.
