The only good that seems to be coming of this shitshow is that Europe (writ large) is having to step the fuck up and take more control of its own security. They had become too dependent on us, and we only too happy, apparently, to secure them.
And I don't mean this on a "transactional" basis, as in how much they spend on defense, or how much we spend on their defense, they just need to take more responsibility, I think.
Like a lot of Trumpian "policies," there is a tiny nugget of truth somewhere in the enormous, steaming pile of shit, and the above seems to be it.
I'm kinda thinking and hoping that by doing this, giving them an external enemy, Europe (again writ large) can turn away from fascist, nationalist populism sooner than later.
I think once Europe bands together against the Russian threat, shitbag appeasers like Orban and his marginal country will begin to be ostracized.
