By all accounts, this Vologorogoro fella who runs the Ukraine is legitimately afraid of what is going to happen if Donald Trump becomes president again.
It’s strange, because Donald Trump was the one who sent him lethal weapons after Obama refused. (It’s apparently a little known fact these days, but Obama said that Ukraine was not a vital interest to the United States and that pretending it was would simply lead to a massive war with Russia.)
The fear, obviously, is that Trump is so obsessed with serving Israel, that he will not have enough resources left to serve the Ukraine.
Donald Trump risks being a “loser president” if he wins November’s election and imposes a bad peace deal on Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said, saying it would mean the end of the US as a global “player”.
In an interview with the Guardian in Kyiv, Zelenskiy said he had “no strategy yet” for what to do if Trump returned to the White House, and that the former British prime minister Boris Johnson had approached him on his behalf.
If Trump beats Joe Biden, he is widely expected to cut off US military support to Ukraine. Last year Trump boasted he could end the war in “24 hours”.
Is it bizarre that the guy who is leading a country that has lost more than half a million soldiers, and is continuing to lose men and territory, is really, really opposed to a peace deal?
Is it bizarre, or just Jewish?
Trump’s aides have previously sketched out a possible plan that would involve giving Ukraine’s eastern regions to Russia, as well as Crimea. But Zelenskiy made clear that “Ukrainians would not put up with that”. Nor would they accept a Russian “ultimatum” that forced Ukraine to abandon integration with Europe and future membership of Nato, he said.
But he is badly losing the war.
How can he make these demands?
It doesn’t make any sense.
Zelenskiy acknowledged that a re-elected Trump could, if he really wanted to, impose a crushing military defeat on Ukraine. He could cut off “support, weapons and money”, and even “make deals” with Kyiv’s partners so they stop deliveries of vital arms.
“Ukraine, barehanded, without weapons, will not be able to fight a multimillion [Russian] army,” Zelenskiy told the Guardian.
Speaking inside his presidential headquarters, he said he thought this scenario was unlikely. But he said if it happened there would be grave consequences for the US’s standing in the world – as well as for Trump personally. “Does he want to become a loser president? Do you understand what can happen?” Zelenskiy said.
What can happen?
I legit do not understand.
If Ukraine just surrenders and meets Russia’s terms, that will just mean that Ukrainians stop dying and the world can just forget about this whole debacle.
Zelensky – who is no longer actually president, by the way, he canceled the election – can escape to Miami with billions of dollars.
Who loses in this situation?
He predicted that Vladimir Putin would violate any Trump-brokered deal. “A ceasefire is a trap,” he said. After a pause Putin would “go further”, humiliating Trump and making him look “very weak” in the eyes of the world, he said.
Zelenskiy continued: “This is not about him [Trump], as a person but about the institutions of the United States. They will become very weak. The US will not be the leader of the world any more. Yes, it will be powerful, first of all, in the domestic economy because it has a powerful economy without a doubt. But in terms of international influence it will be equal to zero.”
This doesn’t really show a very good understanding of the US.
American domestic power is very much tied to its standing as a global superpower.
However, I don’t think America would lose superpower status simply because they surrendered in the Ukraine. That didn’t happen when they surrendered in Afghanistan.
America will lose global superpower status when it loses a war with Iran.
Realising that Washington was no longer “a player”, other mostly authoritarian countries and leaders would “come into the arena” and emulate Putin’s aggressive “approach”, Zelenskiy suggested.
And this would ultimately end in global disaster: “The beginning of what everyone is so afraid to talk about. This is reality. And this is the real third world war.”
No, the real third world war is expanding the Ukraine conflict outside of the Ukraine by sending in NATO forces.
And obviously, sending in NATO forces is the only way to keep the Ukraine from completely collapsing. You could send a trillion dollars in “weapons” (those weapons don’t even exist, actually, but you could pass a trillion dollar weapons bill), and it wouldn’t change the situation on the ground in the Ukraine hardly at all.
The Ukraine doesn’t have any soldiers. That’s the big problem there.
