Still, one must consider the full context.<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, Trump emphasized the weapons&rsquo; defensive nature. He certainly has no interest in expanding America&rsquo;s involvement in the dreadful Russia-Ukraine War.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, he insisted that the new weapons will cost the United States nothing. Instead, as he explained to reporters in the clip above, the European Union will &ldquo;reimburse&rdquo; the U.S. for the military equipment.<\/p>\n<p>That seems like a big deal. Indeed, Trump identified America&rsquo;s lopsided financial commitment to the Ukraine War as a major grievance.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re in for about $350 billion,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;[and] Europe is in for $100 billion. That&rsquo;s a lot of money &mdash; a hundred &mdash; but they should be in actually for more than us.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the president&rsquo;s record of brokering peace should command our attention and respect. Late last month alone, for instance, Trump secured an end to conflicts in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-trump-announces-ceasefire-official-end-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middle East<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-epic-white-house-trump-peace-deal-meeting-brokering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt MAGA still wants out of America&rsquo;s commitment to Ukraine and perhaps even to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-gets-nato-chief-admit-us-carried-much-burden-defense-spending-changes-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NATO<\/a>. After all, more than 80 years spent defending Europe seems like quite enough.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the time has come to admit that President Woodrow Wilson&rsquo;s interventionist foreign policy has failed. Only a return to the foreign policy of President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/second-george-washington-sylvester-stallone-gives-phenomenal-introduction-trump-mar-lago-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Washington<\/a> would truly qualify as &ldquo;America First.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Putin, of course, knows this about the mood of Trump&rsquo;s base. The Russian president, therefore, has no reason to come to the bargaining table.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if Trump believes that he needs leverage to finally stop the killing, and if the Patriot missiles give him that leverage, then so be it.<\/p>\n<p>The president has earned our trust many times over.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
