So when you get other people paying your defense bill, don't be surprised when your territory gets annexed and you get left out of the conversation on the Ukraine issue ?

Well, EU did paid and supported Ukraine. EU are not the ones who allied themselves with Russia and tried to bully Ukraine into giving them minerals for nothing in return. America is the only country that took others in NATO into war under article 5. Ukraine was also left out of that conversation, this was just Trump being openly pro-Russia.
None of that has anything to do with tariffs.

Do you think that’s the motivation, or the new relationship with Russia? Why are new tariffs not applicable to Russia, Belarus and North Korea?
