Just curious, in such a scenario, what do you think should be the appropriate response of americans?

I don't believe the United States will go 1 on 1 with China and risk a nuclear war. It will support Taiwan in any way possible (like Ukraine), but it will not have any direct Army, Navy, or Air Force involvement. I think these days, having a conventional war with another nuclear armed country is impossible.

Spectacular video on the internet of a russian soldier exploding a mine with a one meter stick. Not smart, but brave and effective.

Good luck having someone visit your gravestone if you're a Russian casualty.

Maybe they had ambushed something but this blogger doesn't knows that these " trucks " aren't Grad MRLS launchers. I even didn't had bothered to watch video.
First picture: with this is enough to know that it isn't Grad launcher.
Plus as bonus tubes platform position is not photoshoped properly.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has firmly rejected a joint proposal from France and the UK to send European troops to Ukraine, citing doubts over its feasibility and effectiveness. Speaking to Rai1 TV, she stated that Italy would not participate in any such mission, emphasizing the need for a sustainable and lasting peace.

Result of Zelensky's big mouth and attitude:

Trump’s cut to Ukrainian military aid could leave millions of civilians exposed to Russian ballistic missiles​

I think without US support we are going to see a much more creative Ukraine that is going to punch well above it's belt. Not sure if that's good for american hegemony, but trump's destroying that from within already. But, it will be interesting to see how much success Ukraine has independent from the boogeyman USA.

The consensus here is zero (0).
How can Ukraine be successful without US aid?
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Congress has appropriated or otherwise made available nearly $183 billion for Operation Atlantic Resolve and the broader Ukraine response. To date, we have provided $66.5 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and approximately $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia's initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

Can Europe Back Ukraine's Fight Alone?

For the first time in decades, European leaders face a US commander-in-chief who doesn’t care for Cold War-era pieties

Nothing good.
For example : if they don't provide intelligence data, for example about airplanes take off etc in Russia, then lesser time to prepare....
Basically all this sattelite networks info....etc.

Patriot batteries, if they will run out of missiles....then who will supply?how and when?
This all stuff to use F-16 ies....

Then NASAMS batteries uses missiles from U.S.
If some other country had purchased these and now wants to send ukr....it will happen only if U.S will allow.
Etc a lot of shit.
155 mm shells....
Then all stuff these HIMARS are using: missiles, launchers etc.
Who will supply these?
__
SK and Israel does have normal stuff like these HIMARS bit they will not sell for Ukr cos Ukr does have war. To purchase from them, they also not likely will allow re export to Ukr....cos war....
Brasil does have relatively normal Astros II but not likely they will sell for Ukr...

Ukr had years long talks that they does have Vilkha MRLS, it is like Smerch ...but where they are¿?¿?¿•▪︎•▪︎•▪︎•

Will see.....

Latest update from ruski telegram:

Pokrovsk direction.

1. Based on the current situation, we can conclude that the enemy has concentrated reserves in the direction in order to prevent encirclement/destruction of its group in the area of the Pokrovskoe-Mirnograd agglomeration and our further breakthrough to the Dnieper.

2. Having certain reserves in the direction, the enemy has gone over to active defense and recently the Ukrops have managed to significantly slow down our offensive, and in some places push us back, as in the Udachnoe-Kotlino area. The fact that both sides are concentrating reserves in the direction and preparing for decisive action has been said more than once.

3. Today, information was received that the US "cut off" the Ukrainian Armed Forces' weapons supplies, turned off the key communication line for alerts and blocked access to current US intelligence in the Ukrainian theater of operations. The Ukrops have also stopped receiving data for targeting HIMARS.

4. Yesterday, as already mentioned, the enemy presumably launched a counteroffensive in the direction of Novotroitskoye from the Shevchenko-Peschanoe and Novoaleksandrovka-Uspenovka areas with the aim of cutting off one of our main supply routes on the left flank of the direction. The enemy managed to push ours through Uspenovka and gain a foothold in Shevchenko. Today, the enemy continues to increase its efforts and is trying to break through our defenses. The Ukrops managed to gain a foothold in the industrial zone of Peschanoye and reach the eastern outskirts of Shevchenko.

In the Novovasilyevka-Uspenovka area, fierce counter-attacks are underway.

5. Our units are conducting counter-attacks, trying to stop the enemy and restore the situation.

In the current situation, we can probably expect auxiliary attacks in the Novo Trud area and diversionary attacks by the enemy in the center (Dachenskoye-Lysovka-Sukhoi Yar) and on the right flank (in the Malinovka area) of the direction.

You have been saying this for years and if you think Trump will actually stick to anything he says or does you will prob be disappointed.

Wow, such a substantive reply.

How about you weaklings crying for Ukraine to be able to join NATO so the US Military will be deployed to fight their war.
Our soldiers dying in a battle you're too cowardly to fight yourself.

How's it feel to be a warmonger?
