Russia had a ship carrying two nuclear reactors likely for North Korea’s nuclear submarines. It was sunk by some sort of explosion. No one is admitting what happened.
Because the US has proven itself an unreliable arms supplier over Ukraine, offering weapons and then suddenly taking them away, Germany has decided to replace the US as a major arms supplier to Europe. This will result in a loss of US sales and negotiating leverage over European countries.
Trump was offered Ukrainian anti-drone systems last year, and he turned it down. There would likely be less destroy American equipment and fewer dead Americans if the US had acquired these systems.
On one hand, Europe isn’t helping the US in the Strait with naval power because of Trump’s atrocious behavior toward Europe. On the other hand, Europe has let their navies so atrophy, that they have no ships to send!
