Part 2/11:
This episode highlights Trump's growing frustration with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and his complex stance on the conflict. Industry analyst Michael Schub offers insight, suggesting Trump’s queries stem from a desire to end the war but also reveal a closer alignment with his frustrations rather than strategic policy. Schub emphasizes that Trump's support for Ukraine has been inconsistent—highlighting that while he has opened the supply of critical defensive weapons, like Patriot missile interceptors, his core aim remains avoiding prolonging the war.
