Among our Journalist he is very much disliked and when he started to demand us to pay our part. They got a heart attack and wrote in big letters
Trump is going to leave NATO. Trump haven't never mentioned anything about leaving NATO, what he said was that NATO members who doesn't pay their part would not get help from USA. Today they see the verdict against him as a victory for the democracy. He may have a huge percentage supporters among the Rep. voters This isn't enough he has to have the support from the Rep politicians Which may be an another story. Markus

Ukraine
Overall, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the total U.S. assistance, including military, economic, and humanitarian aid, has surpassed $52 billion (CRS Reports) (Defense.gov). President Joe Biden has clearly stated that the United States will not deploy American troops to Ukraine. He has reiterated his position multiple times, emphasizing that while the U.S. remains committed to supporting Ukraine through military aid and advisory roles, American soldiers will not be involved in combat operations on Ukrainian soil. This stance is aimed at avoiding a direct conflict between U.S. and Russian forces (Kyiv Post) (The White House). However, there have been discussions about increasing the number of U.S. military advisers at the embassy in Kyiv. These advisers would primarily assist with logistics, maintenance of military equipment, and other support roles, but they would not engage in combat (Politico). California California's state budget for 2024 has revealed significant fiscal challenges, including a projected deficit. The shortfall for the fiscal years 2023-24 and 2024-25 is estimated to be between $38 billion and $68 billion, according to various projections. This gap is partly due to lower-than-expected tax revenues and economic factors such as stock market declines and Federal Reserve interest rate hikes (California Budget and Policy Center) (California Budget and Policy Center). In addition to this broader budgetary shortfall, an audit released in early 2024 highlighted that California had spent $24 billion over the past five years on homelessness initiatives without adequately tracking how effectively the funds were used. This has raised concerns about the management and oversight of state expenditures (The Independent).

If you got a point to make then you'll have to narrow it down some. We have military advisors in a bunch of countries atm.

FWIW by 1963 we had over 11,000 military advisors in Vietnam recruiting, training, advising and even leading indigenous combat troops at firebases throughout the country. That hardly compares to a couple dozen supply experts stationed in the US Embassy in Kiev.

As of 2024, the exact number of U.S. military advisors currently operating in Ukraine is not publicly disclosed due to security concerns. However, recent reports suggest that the U.S. is considering sending additional advisors to support the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. The number of advisors is expected to be small, possibly fewer than two dozen (Voice of America) (Yahoo).
These advisors are primarily involved in non-combat roles, such as providing logistical support, overseeing weapon transfers, and offering strategic advice to Ukrainian military officials. This deployment is meant to assist with the efficient use of U.S. military aid and ensure proper oversight of the equipment and resources provided to Ukraine (Stars and Stripes) (Kyiv Post).
