if Europe could make Ukraine win they wouldn't do it?

I haven't discussed WWII on forums but the Europeans I have known have understood the US role, and for the most part quite quite grateful.

Yes countries tht don't spend their money on military get to have other things. It appears to be Europes turn now.

Do any of us want the inconvenience of fighting Trump? I want my damn life back. But if I could make a difference beyond a few demonstrations, I would. Maybe the rich people are at those demonstrations too.

I'm not as sure as you--and many others--what leadership can do about Trump. At least among Democrats. The Republicans coul d fix it overnight. The billionaires could call a meeting, change their minds, and change everything. But they don't. Proof that being rich isn't about being smart.
