Europeans would do well “to take” Donald Trump seriously: if he becomes president again “he is ready to leave NATO, accusing the allies of not investing enough in defense.”, was Trump’s National Security Advisor from 2018 to 2019. «Trump’s behavior was unacceptable on January 6, 2021, (assault on Capitol Hill, ed.). I fear a chaotic second term, marked by conflicts with the institutions and attempts at revenge against his political opponents. That said, Donald Trump is no Julius Caesar. The American Republic is stronger than him and will not fall because of him.”
Then the words on the war between Russia and Ukraine: «I am very worried. Biden portrayed the war in Ukraine as a clash between democracies and authoritarian governments. And that’s how it is. But Americans are not too willing to sacrifice themselves for abstract concepts. The argument to be used is that defending Ukraine and having peace and security in Europe is America’s national interest. Otherwise many citizens will ask themselves: what do we care about Ukraine? Trump is banking on this state of mind. And if he begins to withdraw support for Kiev, Putin will sit back and wait for Ukraine to collapse.”
