This is what I hope happens next: Ukraine wins anyway. European politicians that still weren’t sure about defending themselves without the US will be emboldened not to rely on America anymore. Europe as a whole becomes stronger and much less willing to tolerate Trump’s obnoxious demands, and see him as the weak puppet that he is.
Trump is now helping Putin kill Americans. In any other timeline, I’d expect more severe consequences than timid rebukes from pundits.
