Marty,
the distances you mentioned made me laugh. Like I said, if Europe is too far away then why not let Putin take it ... all of it. Putin already said that he wants Eastern Germany back again. Ukraine is not the only country with a joint Russian borderline. America doesn't need Europe to become great again. Musk will surely notice that the U.S. is spending a fortune on the many military bases alone in Germany. America could save so much money if they could just work out a good deal with Russia and hand over Europe (all meant in light banter). Trump doesn't own Europe but he doesn't own Ukraine either and he's making a deal with Putin anyway. The whole situation is pretty fu**ed up. I still live over there part time and I have family and close friends there. I wrote this song because the whole situation makes me feel sad.
