Europe Faces Ruin - Joe Blogs

In this video I discuss the decision by Donald Trump to stop all aid and the supply of intelligence by the USA to Ukraine. This announcement has left a huge black hole in the aid budget for Ukraine and resulted in European leaders meeting and agreeing to increase spending on defense however this raises two big questions. Will this increase in defense spending force Europe into recession and will the USA be involved if another European country is invaded?
