    unfortunately, yes. as the commander in chief he can just unilaterally stop supporting an ally or ally himself with one country or another so long as no formal treaty is created or enforced. however, it is another step in him losing domestic support from his base. if you want to know how his base feels about him, look at marjory taylor green. the post-trump era is going to be here sooner rather than later and she feels that catering to the base is the best way to accumulate personal power, and the republican base is at this moment feeling very over trump

      Russia spends more than that each day of war.
