I don't support Trump, but you really can't claim that Europe wasn't warned here. Russia first invaded Ukraine back in 2014. And here's Trump back in 2018, warning about German dependence on Russian gas, and stating that Europe needed to step up defense spending "immediately": ▶ this video This has hardly been "abrupt". Even Obama and Bush were telling Europe to step up defense spending.
> It's been a big issue for western european countries during the ukraine war. In 2018, Germany (and France) were warned about their dependence and deals with Russia on oil and gas - ▶ this video
ah yes, it's the US fault the corrupt German politicians made Germany entirely dependent on Russian gas even Trump understood this was a stupid idea: ▶ this video
