We are in a hybrid war with Putin.
He has successfully subverted the US via DJT and the Republicans/MAGA.
He is setting out to destroy the US as a political force (and likely as a political entity entirely, breaking down to states). In this DJT and his cabinet and Musk get to destroy the Federal government and enrich themselves.
Any conflict (trade war) between the EU and US benefits primarily Putin (and China).
