      Trump could absolutely stop it, if he wanted to. Just send a few hundred tomahawk missiles as military aid to Ukraine. Then tell Russia that if Russia does not stop, the US will send more.

          Yeah, sure, fighting a second war while one’s a stalemate will really improve Russia’s chances.

            If Trump was willing to fight with Russia, why didn’t he supply Tomahawks to Ukraine when it Zelensky requested them?

          Like what? Putin needs his missiles himself.

          And remember that the US, is way, way more militarily powerful than Russia. The US has tons of spare military capacity, unlike Russia. Russia would lose an escalation war, and Russia knows it.

            Russia is much closer to Iran than the US which means it can move troops and equipment into Iran quickly.

              Ukraine literally has a land border with the EU, where the US has large equipment stockpiles and perfect logistics. Logistically it is likely much easier for the US to send stuff to Ukraine.
