Being hard on Europe is not consistent with diplomatic solutions

The notion of Donald Trump as an anti-war candidate is challenged as there is no such candidate amidst figures like Biden, Trump, RFK Jr., Jill Stein, or Cornell West. Advocating for Europe to spend more on NATO or Ukraine does not align with stepping away from these agreements but rather stresses the need for additional funding. Criticizing Europe is not in line with seeking a diplomatic conclusion to conflicts. By undercutting initial diplomatic negotiations with Ukraine, the negotiating leverage with Russia was weakened, resulting in an ongoing and unresolved situation with no clear plan for conclusion.
