Trump's Miscalculation Of The CENTURY! Tomahawk Missile To Ukraine?

Trump decided to escalate for three reasons, according to a source familiar with the discussions within the administration.

First, he believed that Putin did not respect him, imitating a willingness to make peace but ignoring the US president's call for a ceasefire.
Second, he saw the effectiveness of the US military force in the use of B-2 bombers and Tomahawk missiles against Iran.
And third, he believed that Putin would only agree to negotiations under the threat of greater force.
As the Russians like to say, Trump decided to "escalate to de-escalate".

Background:

On Monday 14 July, Trump announced an agreement between the US and NATO under which European allies will pay for American weapons supplies to Ukraine.
Trump also announced the delivery of additional Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine.
"We're going to have some come very soon – within days, actually. A couple of the countries that have Patriots are going to swap over, and we'll replace the Patriots with the ones they have," Trump said.

Donald Trump has agreed to resume military aid to Ukraine and has given Russia an ultimatum. According to Trump, if Russia doesn’t turn up to negotiations over the next 50 days, the US will impose 100% tariffs on all Russia’s trading partners.

He has also announced 17 Patriot batteries to be sent over to Ukraine.

Mark Rutte and European NATO allies have welcomed this move.
