A Trump presidency would leave Ukraine to its fate - because he has China in his sights | Rajan Menon

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Ukraine's resistance won't end abruptly if Trump wins the election.
50% : (McConnell was booed when he took to the stage to nominate Trump at the GOP convention.)
48% : Or Trump could continue arming Ukraine for a while, but as a segue to a settlement - ideally one presided over by him.
44% : Trump has cast that segment of the party into the wilderness.
35% : During his speech accepting the Republican party's presidential nomination, Trump vowed to end the war in Ukraine.
34% : Trump, in effect, owns the Republican party, which today contains no dissenting voices of consequence on foreign policy and certainly not on Ukraine.
34% : Trump the billionaire has artfully styled himself as a contrarian outsider who disdains the "mainstream media" and Washington's galaxy of foreign policy experts.
32% : Trump does care deeply about public opinion, but it is highly unlikely to change his outlook on Ukraine.
27% : As Trump sees it, arming Ukraine does not serve any important US national interests and pumps billions of dollars into a war it cannot win, wasting money that should be spent on pressing needs at home and parrying genuine threats abroad.
25% : True, millions of others dislike Trump, but his stance on Ukraine isn't a major reason.
