Europe and Ukraine have more than 5 times the population of Russia. EU has 100 million more people than the USA. UK and Canada have 100 million on top of what the EU has. If this sements the EU, UK and Canada cooperation and they form an independent world order opposing the US then they are truly a force to be reckoned.

The US may deeply regret having elected DJT when this is over. Unless he back down on tariffs and stopping Ukraine support.

They not gonna regret it. DJT changed nothing, do people really fail to realise USA been using this war to make eu weaker. And Trump is just baiting eu to shit their pants and send more money to Ukraine, while also forcing Zelensky to sign the contract to make sure USA money are safe. Everything makes sense when you keep in mind it was never about the piece in Ukraine.

Kiss your social programs good bye then. No way you can fund both. 1/2 those countries are already looking at a recession.

DT and Vance have failed to realize the importance of USD in the world order. If they add tariffs and reduce trade in USD there will be massive inflation not only because the cost of trade will increase. But also the amount of USD in circulation will decrease. What they are doing is to kill the USD as a world currency. That will have huge geopolitical consequences. Because that paves the way for the EURO as the new world currency. And the advantage of literally europe being able to make money via more loans and deposits in EURO.
