Okay, so let me tell you the basic thing that is happening here: Trump wants whatever happens in the Ukraine to be a “win.” That is the terms in which he thinks. Everything has to be a “win.”
He’s not actually going to try to remove the Russians from the land they’ve already conquered. But he wants some kind of “win.” Unfortunately, there is no possible “win” for the US in this situation, and what he would need to do is simply recognize that Joe Biden started this war and he cannot turn it into a win any more than he can turn Biden’s dog-eater Haitians into “winners.”
But he’s totally surrounded by neocon liars, and he doesn’t totally understand international relations and still believes America can do anything with its military, so he is going to try to pressure Russia.
Or at least, that’s what he’s starting with.
This was predictable and I predicted it.
Again, I am not going to take a pro or anti Trump position in general. It doesn’t make any sense to do that, as he is just doing seemingly random things, some of which are good and some of which are very bad.
Obviously, prolonging the war in the Ukraine would be bad. However, simply making threats doesn’t mean much, especially when these threats are coming before he’s actually sat down with Vladimir Putin to talk about the situation.
RT:
US President Donald Trump has said that Washington could impose more sanctions on Russia if it refuses to engage in talks on settling the Ukraine conflict.
During his Tuesday press conference, Trump was asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reluctance to negotiate will lead to additional curbs against Moscow – on top of the thousands of restrictions already introduced under Joe Biden.
“Sounds likely,” he replied.
Trump, who had been extremely critical of Biden for supplying military aid to Ukraine, did not rule out the possibility of Washington sending more weapons to Kiev during his tenure, saying: “Well, we will look into that.”
However, he insisted that Brussels should “equalize” with Washington when it comes to the amount of support it provides to Ukraine. “We are in there for $200 billion more than the EU. I mean, what are we, stupid? I guess the answer is ‘yes.’ They must think so,” the president said.
He again expressed a readiness to engage in discussions with Putin to end the fighting between Moscow and Kiev. “We are talking to [Ukrainian leader] Zelensky. We are gonna be talking with President Putin very soon and we will see how it all happens,” Trump stressed.
This is really just “tough talk” that I would not put any weight in.
Ending the war in itself would be a “win,” regardless of what happens to the Ukraine. No one gives a shit about the Ukraine, other than sickening tranny psychopaths and the Jews. Also, white women, apparently, but they are basically some combination of tranny and Jew.
Literally, no one cares.
Trump doesn’t want an ugly scene, and he wants to be able to claim he did something impressive, but I really don’t think he wants to prolong Biden’s war.
When it comes to Iran, that’s a totally different story.
Also, he could be forced into a war with the Chinese, definitely.
But the Ukraine thing is so ridiculous and gay. This is one thing that I said from the beginning I thought there was a good chance he would fix.
Maybe he won’t, I have no idea, but I would be surprised if he escalates it.
