Larry C. Johnson: Trump threatens 100 secondary tariffs! Russia SMASHES Ukraine! Yemen's RETURN

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What was the significance of Donald Trump’s recent announcement regarding Ukraine and Europe?
2. How do you interpret Trump’s claim that European countries, especially Germany, are enthusiastic about supporting Ukraine?
3. Do you believe European nations are genuinely committed to funding weapons for Ukraine, or is there a hidden agenda?
4. Could Trump’s policies on Ukraine potentially harm his support base in the U.S., particularly among MAGA supporters?
5. Is Europe preparing for escalation in the Ukraine conflict, and how effective will their military buildup be against Russia?

Larry Johnson:

1. Trump’s announcement is largely symbolic and lacks substance—referred to as a “nothing burger.” It seems aimed at political posturing rather than real policy change.
2. The idea that European leaders are genuinely enthusiastic is questionable. Larry suggests they may not be able to afford these commitments and might rely on frozen Russian assets to fund them.
3. European commitments are likely verbal and lack financial viability. There may be behind-the-scenes strategies to use seized Russian funds, but actual payments remain unlikely.
4. Trump has already damaged his credibility, especially with MAGA supporters, due to issues like the Epstein case and inconsistent foreign policy messaging.
5. Europe’s military buildup is unrealistic and driven more by political motives than strategic planning. Russia currently holds a clear military advantage in several key areas.
