It took Trump only twenty -four days to sell Ukraine
Was Vladimir Putin a few days in Washington? Donald Trump, just four weeks after his second term, carried out a breathtaking axis towards Moscow, reflecting its path after years of rupture between the United States and Russia, which resulted from Putin’s invasion of 2022 for Ukraine. First, Trump has overcome the US Agency for International Development, which made the Russian government happier, which its spokeswoman described as a “intervention machine” in the affairs of other countries. It can also be in the cutting block in free Europe, a legacy project in the Cold War, and its coverage of Russia Putin has long been angered by the Kremlin. “Yes, closed them,” Plorendeer Bleardeer and sometimes Putin Elon Musk tweeted during the weekend.
Then, on Wednesday, the US Senate voted to confirm the former Democratic Congress member Toulcy Gabbard, the controversial candidate of Trump to become the director of national intelligence. Gabbard, like Trump himself, often inflated Russian conversation points about the war in Ukraine – a major reason for Mitch McConnell, a former Republican leader in the Senate, the vote in its favor. But it was the only position at a Republican Senate conference, which recently included a Gabard’s confirmation session last month, a number of members of the Republican Party, which was said to be mired in its nomination. These were the forces who once pledged to stand with Ukraine until it beat Russia. Now they don’t dare stand against a single Trump candidate.
On the same day, Trump has made the first official phone call to Putin since he returned to the White House. It was hardly possible to be more miserable for Ukraine – as it is clear to a sign that the American president who praised Russia’s war on its neighbor as a strategic “genius” act that now intends to impose the ceasefire on Putin’s conditions. The invitation, according to Trump’s report on this issue on his social summary of social media, was characterized by difficult references to the United States Alliance with the Soviet Union during World War II and the decision to “launch peace” immediately. Only after that Trump called the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Everything was very clear which of the fighters who preferred.
“Do you look at Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?” Trump was later requested by a correspondent at the Oval Office. “Mother”, he said, as he took a long pause that the silence himself was answering enough. He finally answered, “It is an interesting question.” “I think they should make peace. He kills their people, and I think they should have peace. I said that this was not a good war to go to” – as if Ukraine had an option about an unjustified attack by more than a hundred thousand Russian soldiers – and I think it is They must make peace. “
After Putin launched his invasion – three years ago this month – Joe Biden condemned the Russian leader as a fighter and bullying, and he sent tens of billions of dollars in US military aid, and pledged to stand with Ukraine, “as long as it takes.” Whenever peace talks appear, Biden promised that the United States “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine will end. But it seems that Trump, on Wednesday, was going out on him to humiliate Ukraine, as he volunteered that he was “perhaps” he would meet “probably”, in Saudi Arabia, with Zelinski not clearly invited. It seems that Trump is adopting the theory of the bloody empire of Karmlin for the issue because of the reason that Russia is able to preserve the lands that were seized illegally from Ukraine, because, after all, they fought for that land. Moscow Governmental Moscow soon was a screaming about the “great success” of Russia.
For several months, some of the most traditional republican factors in Trump shine the American audiences, European allies, and Ukraine’s fortress by progressing that the idea that Trump, who is re -installed in office, would be a kind of Ronald Reagan’s second coming, determined to stand difficult against the Russians and to connect a fair deal Ukraine, which was achieved by Reagan’s approach to “peace through power”. You could hear Trump almost laughing as he made fun of these defenders in his oval appearance. The man is who is. Putin still admires and still does not care less Ukraine. “The strong does what they can, and the weakness is what they must” may be the Trump’s personal logo. Of course, he was always pressing Ukraine for land trading for peace, international law and national sovereignty. As for the American guarantee to secure Ukraine against future Russian incursions? We forget that.
In the event that anyone is tempted to reject Trump’s words as just a negotiating tactic, two cabinet secretaries were sent to Europe on the tasks that confirmed the degree that Trump stood up to Putin. In Brussels, the new Defense Minister of Trump, Beit Higseth, attended European allies on how to not be concerned about the United States about their security anymore and replace any opportunity to join Ukraine effectively NATO. By categorically closing the door to Ukraine, Higseth not only diverted this type of arrangement that Ukraine may secure from the future Russian aggression, but also waived a major influence point on Putin – before one bargaining session. Meanwhile, Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessin, was sent to Ukraine-not with additional assistance, but at the request of Trump that the besieged government in Kiev compensates the United States for its previous assistance by agreeing to save about five hundred billion dollars in Nadra-the inheritors of minerals. Biden used to framing America’s role in Ukraine as a role in the global competition between tyranny and democracies. And Trump? It seems that he goes to something like watching mobs: pay, or we will allow Putin to alive. This, too, is Trump Ateeq. Indeed, the First Foreign Minister, Rex Tillerson, bombed a famous Pentagon in 2017, when he described the president as a “ridiculous fool”, he was partial Yes, the countries that pay.
The timing of the exclusion decision NATO On the eve of the Munich Security Conference, Ukraine appeared on the eve of the Munich Security Conference, as one of Trump’s deliberate conspirators, and practically called unavoidable comparisons to the “Peace” deal in Nepelle Chamberlain in Munich in our time with Hitler on the eve of World War II. Karl Bilde, the veteran European diplomat and former Prime Minister of Sweden, commented: “It is definitely an innovative approach to negotiating to make very big concessions even before it started. Even Chamberlain decreased in 1938. Munich has ended very bad anyway.”
The sale outside Ukraine was an inevitable result, without a doubt, from America’s decision to return Trump – the car accident that we had been watching in a slow movement since the evening of November 5. For those who were warning of Trump’s plans for Ukraine, the disclosure was felt on Wednesday that the accident had recently happened. John Bolton, the hard -line Republican who served as the National Security Adviser in Trump and who has since turned, said that his former president “actually surrendered to Putin” and it seems ready to force Ukraine to join “a settlement that she can write in the Kremlin.”
German Chancellor, Olaf Schools, perhaps a lame duck that held the upcoming elections in which his party’s share in the polls collapsed to about fifteen percent, scattered from Europe, refused to accept “Peace of Tammili”. But, in fact, who will stop Trump? At the campaign’s path last year, he used to boast that he would replace Ukraine’s war in twenty -four hours. He broke this promise, but within twenty -four days since his return to power, he gave a rude indication of how he planned to do so. Christmas came early for Putin this year. ♦
