Maybe he didn't word it in the best way but the point here is that many feel betrayed. Betrayed because people with simillar backgrounds to them have not recieved anywhere near the same treatment. People from Gaza come to mind.

Maybe this is a turning point?
It's the first time in a long time we see the West come together, even during COVID we had drama about hoarding vaccines, and who gets what first.
To be fair, Europe has been taking refugees for quite some time, but we indeed haven't saw this sanctioning anywhere else... but let's face it: this is happening in Europe, a nuclear power is invading an independent european country.
Apparently there are big consequences for such actions. Maybe that's where the line is drawn, since it has to be drawn somewhere.

I mean what happens in Gaza is wtf. But how far is the NATO or Europe allowed to escalate this conflict to an end that it becomes solved?
Alone the issue what trump did showed that there is not that much of alignment.
