America continues to support Ukraine and seems poised to continue that support into the future. Ukraine was my #1 issue in November and I expected much worse from Trump.

They’re being exploited to avoid death, compare that to what Macron wants from them. If anything, the good news is that EU won’t abandon Ukraine.

no change is hardly a silver lining

Disagree. 2025’s motto is basically “But wait! It gets worse” so I’ll take “no change” as a “win”.

Considering a lot of us were projecting that the U.S. would begin arming Russia and the war would end quite dramatically in Russia’s favor? Yeah no change is a massive silver lining.

we are comparing with the alternative, which would be the Democratic party, silver lining means, the Republicans are destroying the system but alt least we’re getting something that we wouldn’t otherwise, which is not the case in this scenario

Once the stores are empty and food is too expensive/sparse I absolutely guarantee you won’t even be thinking about Ukraine anymore.

Poor priorities.
