Yes Trump reminds us how he sent the weapons first but a war is not won at the beginning but at the end and Trump has made it clear he intends to alter the global order of international law and reward/appease Putin who has breached international law by invading a sovereign nation in alliance with China who also have territorial ambitions for expansion.
It is quite possible Trump is correct in surrendering the US global domination and beginning a division of territory into Chinese and US spheres- its happening already with most of Africa and much of the middle east and asia developing via Chinese funding and Chinese engineers. The oilfeilds of Iraq are primarily now operated by Chinese engineers and companies after all. The majority of global shipping is built by China and China dominates global trade in manufactured goods and commodities.
But Trump should ideally be more honest about the nature of what he is doing instead of making vacuous claims that he is making America Great Again.
Trumps policies are not the only options USA has as it comes to terms with having already lost the trade war with China... . Bernie Sanders has long advanced a viable alternative where corporate greed and rentseeking is controlled again and where the USA ceases to enforce its global will by military force and instead returns to a trade based economic model rather than one of empire.
Trump is turning USA into a model of failed empire similar to what Putin has built- a corrupt cleptocracy of crony capitalism that leaves the majority of citizens trapped in a morass of misinformation - hypernormalisation ...
Trump abandons the pretext of rules based global order that continued the resource hegemony of western civilisation and opens the doors to the despots and autocrats he calls friends and refuses to call dictators because he models himself upon them and admires their brutality.
Bernie Sanders speaks for a more civilised, equitable and probably sustainable US strategy and economic modelling - a mixed economy where the corporates are subservient to the greater good - not the other way around as in Trumps crony capitalist dystopia.
