Quite.

In the real world, the US has spent around $100bn, and most of that was spent within the US, on US weapons manufacturers.

And Ukrainian law forbids an election taking place while the country is under the present state of emergency. But seeing as Trump now seems to think that a country’s law is whatever the president of the day says it is, it is perhaps unsurprising that he doesn’t understand why they can’t just have one anyway.

The problem here is that Donald J Trump is not very clever. His one skill is being boorish, and getting away with it thanks to a family fortune he never earned (but which he has managed to dissipate at a prodigious rate). On any given policy area he is at the mercy of whichever group has his ear. And on Ukraine that includes Vladimir Putin himself, plus all the other conspiracy-soaked nut-jobs in the US who have attached themselves to MAGA.
