Europeans fear a distracted U.S. will lose interest in pushing Putin toward peace — as America depletes stocks of the missiles that Ukraine desperately needs.
Europeans struggling to cope with Donald Trump’s inflammatory interventions may be about to discover there’s one thing worse: Ceasing to be the object of his attention.
As Trump’s ongoing operation against Iran takes priority with Pentagon planners and the White House, European officials fear he will lose interest in ending “Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine, now into its fifth year.
The practical impact if the U.S. becomes embroiled in a drawn-out conflict in the Middle East could be even more severe than the political effect: Ukraine may be starved of the American-made weapons it needs to resist daily Russian missile attacks — because U.S. forces are using so many of them against Iran.

Ukraine has been a forgotten war in the eyes of the U.S. ever since Trump became president; he doesn’t care about a conflict unless there’s something in it for him to gain.
He hasn’t been neutral. His thumb has been heavily on the Russian side of the scale.
Agreed; I was just disagreeing with the title’s implication that the U.S.'s involvement in Ukraine under Trump has been in any way beneficial.
That’s total BS, Europeans are not stupid, everyone knows Putin and Trump are bffs.
Yep, attacking Iran immediately caused oil prices to increase dramatically.
A much needed aid to the Russian economy. Putin is 100% sure OK with Trump doing this. One phone call and Putin could probably have stopped it.
The Steele Dossier Pee tapes, were probably not about pee but pedophilia.
I bet Russia has those tapes from Epstein, and they can get Trump in prison.
Putin has the pee tape, Ghislane has the pedo tapes, plural. ISRAEL
That’s a possibility too.
But some, like Orban, like it that way and suck up to Puto and Chump.
And forget about the Palestinians while Israel eradicates them fully. We’re so fucked.
To be fair Israel has to do something about Iran before they can think about continuing the genocide.
Trump has been unreliable in his dealings with Ukraine and Putin. I think we’re better off without his direct involvement. And Iran is an ally of Putin; this will stop the flow of weapons from Iran to Russia. It further isolates Putin.
What Europe finally needs to do is to stop relying on the US and take charge of the situation on their own doorstep. Liberate Ukraine.
Why is leopards eating EU faces such a common sight these days?
It’s not so bad, russia will be starved of the iranian made drones it needs to attack ukraine - because iran is using so many of them against americans.
The doomer view here is russia will rely more and more on china and its progression to full chinese vassal state will speed up.
But he ended that war on day ONE!! /s
