"If Trump really wanted to end the war he'd send more weapons and support Ukraine"

ukrainian have entire western + nato support for 2-3 years already, what makes you think this year any different???

Russia is not getting any fresher either. Maybe he could increase aid. He was largely responsible for delaying aid previously which hurt Ukraine and also hurt Europe and america.

As opposed to cutting off aid giving Russia false hope of outlasting and conquering Ukraine and other parts of Europe which encourages Putin to continue the war

the front line barely moving for the past year, even if NATO send more (they already sent equipment they can sent) it would not affect the outcome only prolonged the conflict

we all know that russia is not winning but they are not losing either, any Ukrainian/Russian offensive is not happen soon and only battle of attrition at this point (which russian have an edge because more people available in russia)

war is won by outproducing your enemy. EU and USA could easily outproduce ruzzia if there was political will for it. backing down from putin is a bad move

if US and Europe can pay it sure
