I don't think so. The one thing Trump is generally good on is foreign policy and he seems to be fairly anti-war, for the most part. Trump has no ties to the MIC and understands war is bad for commerce. He is a businessman, not a neocon govt hack.If we get to that point, I think that Trump will be advised to offer Putin the same deal that Zelenskyyyy and our State Department has been offering: Get out of Ukraine, including Crimea, NATO expansion and forfeiture of their seized assets for "rebuilding Ukraine".
Just watch how Biden's war gets adopted by the orange one.

Also Trump's base is opposed to this nonsense in Ukraine.
This is also why I don't think the powers that be will ever let him back into office. Too many people making too much money off of the Ukrainian intervention and Trump will likely shut that down. They have tried twice and failed but I suspect they will keep trying.

I don't believe that.
I think Trump told Zelensky that if Trump wins you get no more weapons or money. So give Putin what he wants or lose your whole country.
This isn't because Trump is anti war, it's because Trump has a personal grudge against Zelensky.

Zelensky: Trump Assured Me He Would Support Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Fox News that former President Donald Trump reassured him that Washington will maintain its support for Kiev should he return to the White House.
The Ukrainian leader said Trump made the remarks when the two met last week. “I don’t know what will be after [the] elections and who will be the president … But I’ve got from Donald Trump very direct information that he will be on our side, that he will support Ukraine,” he said.
Last week, Zelensky traveled to the US and met with Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, and President Joe Biden to present Ukraine’s “victory plan.” The Wall Street Journal reports that senior US and European officials say the proposal contains no clear path to victory for Ukraine.
The plan was described as offering nothing new, and repackaged several old requests for more weapons and permission to use them in Russia. “I’m unimpressed, there’s not much new there,” one official told WSJ.
While Democrats have targeted Trump as an apologist for Russian President Vladimir Putin and not supportive enough of Ukraine, the former president has supported sending arms to Ukraine. During his term in the Oval Office, Trump authorized arms transfers to Kiev, something his predecessor Barack Obama refused to do out of fear of crossing Moscow’s redlines.
Earlier this year, a massive $60 billion aid package for Ukraine was stalled in Congress. Several key figures in the debate report that Trump broke the deadlock when he threw his support behind the aid.
Although Trump has claimed he would end the war if elected in November, he has not outlined a plan for accomplishing that. Instead, he has repeatedly stated the 2022 invasion would not have occurred if he had been president. Trump also insisted on Wednesday that Zelensky should have made a peace deal with Putin shortly after the war began.
