I'm sure Ukraine will be more than happy to receive these rusty ye olde single shot hunting rifles/shotguns, double barrels and revolvers ...

Giving the guns to Ukraine is just a talking point I believe.
How many of these weapons would actually be fit for service in Ukraine? Especially given that small arms aren't really a limiting factor.
Pretty sure Ukraine would prefer something like cash, MANPADS, artillery, radar, ATGM, comms, or EW gear.

Fair shout, but here's a question to which Trump will have to find an answer: What will happen if Putin goes "F𝔲ck this agreement that I never wanted in the first place, I'mma steamroll those peacekepers now!" What is America going to do then?
Right now, it doesn't look like there'll be a ceasefire in the near future, but let's pretend that it is. However: A cease fire can be broken.
What I don't understand about Trump is this: He essentially ran on a ticket of "I want nothing to do with that". But a ceasefire agreement with troops on the ground carries an even greater risk of escalation compared to right now.
What will Trump do if the Poles, Germans, British and French do send troops to Ukraine, as evisaged, and they get killed? I mean, the Russians and their local proxies never respected the Minsk agreements either.

Canada has none of those things because Canada hasn’t spent money on its armed forces since forever ago. I seem to recollect that it was the early 1970s that was the last time they spent the NATO standard 2%. They are the Belgium of North America (or if you’d prefer the NZ of the South Pacific).

I don't know, I'm not a Trump spokesman. I can say this though, he feels this war should never have started and wouldn't have if he were President. But with that said, his feelings are that this war is in Europe and should be handled by Europe. It's one thing for the US to lend a hand to our European friends, it's another to be responsible for solving it's problems. He definitely won't send American troops to Ukraine, but he has previously said, (regarding France), if France wants to, that's up to them - in fact that's great by him.
So far Russia has lost one half of it's pre-war combat power in Ukraine. I can't imagine them attacking Ukraine and killing French, British, German and Polish troops to do it
The Ukrainian medium intelligence ship Simferopol, built on the hull of the Project 502EM trawler, was damaged as a result of a Russian missile attack on the port of Odessa. The intelligence ship Simferopol, part of the 30th division of surface ships, was undergoing trials; the ship was launched in 2019. The ship's armament includes a 30-mm AK-306 artillery mount, a Melkhior electronic intelligence station, and imported wide-range direction-finding antennas. The Russian missile missed the ship and exploded nearby. Apparently, the ship managed to move away from the pier before the missile hit; as a result of the missile strike, a fire started on the Simferopol ship.

Hmmm... but with the Ruble's value falling like a lead balloon, doubling the recruitment bonus is pretty much going to be a net loss to the mobik. It's almost like signing a contract enables the mobik to buy either a pound of butter OR (not both) a dozen eggs... and nothing else.
Putler better start press-ganging immigrants if he wants bodies in uniforms!
