Two reasons why T may in fact continue to support #Ukraine by weakening Russia:
– His intent to have U.S. produce more crude oil will lower its world maket price, cutting even more into Russia's main source of revenues.
– The largest share of U.S. financial support to Ukraine goes to the arms manufactoring industry, many of whose factories are in the swing states T just won. Cutting these finance expenses increases local unemployment.
Perhaps it's no exaggeration to say that T needs the Russian-Ukraine war to continue as much as Putin does, although for different reasons.
