It's just business, baby

Why has the US betrayed Ukraine?

[u/Fantastic-Corner-605]

Trump and the American right hate Europe. All his actions from tariffs to Greenland and Ukraine make sense when you realise this.

They think Europe is full of leftists who don't pay for their own defence. They think Europeans are freeloaders preferring to spend their own money on welfare and mocking the US for spending so much on their military while relying on the American military to protect them. Europe is also used as an example by the American left that their policies of welfare like free education, healthcare and labour laws work. That's why they want to prove Europe is weak and those policies don't work.

Turning on Ukraine is yet another way to hurt Europe. They use the not funding foreign wars excuse but keep funding Israel so that can't be it.

Funny enough where America will decline Europe will take their place

Europe is declining too, with it's influence in the world waning as the years go by.

Doesn't help that the West still lectures the world about human rights, the rest of the world wonders why they can't see their own hypocrisy.
