2. Putin also still has North Korea and probably some African countries. He will run out of time waiting for Trump.

Trump was supposed to pull the US out of NATO in 2020 during what would have been his second term. He's trying to destroy it now by causing NATO countries to divert resources to Greenland while reducing or ending US support for NATO.

Europe needs to shore up as much support for Ukraine as possible and Ukraine needs to take out or damage as much strategic infrastructure as possible in Russia. US citizens can probably help financially. In 2022 Ukrainians were AirBnB'ing their homes and Americans and other Europeans were renting them just to send funds to Ukrainians that they knew to keep the economy going.
