From NEWSWEEK
this startling article and comments from Trump show how far out of touch he
truly is only after a week in office – it is totally disgusting and harmful and
simply crazy with this headline:
“Donald Trump Attacks
Zelensky: He's No Angel”
From Trump's sit down with Fox News.
About Zelensky: “Is no angel and he shares the blame for
the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. He shouldn't have allowed this war to
happen. Zelensky was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more
powerful. He shouldn't have done that, because we could have made a deal.”
Why It Matters
Trump's criticism of both Zelensky and Putin in the interview risks making it more difficult for him
to help broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. It also signifies a
major shift in tone from the Biden administration which offered substantial financial and military backing for
Ukraine's war effort.
What to Know
In his interview,
Trump criticized Zelensky for wanting to fight the war despite massive military
deficiencies in comparison to Russia, and he added: “First of all, he's fighting a much bigger entity. We started pouring
equipment... and Ukraine had the bravery to use the equipment, but in the end,
it's a war that has to be settled.”
Trump then said:
“Zelensky has now had enough and wants to
settle in order to secure peace.”
Trump also blamed
Putin for the war, claiming that Russia had lost around 850,000 soldiers, then
added: “Putin shouldn't have done
it... and it has to stop. I will add
massive tariffs and massive taxes on
Russia if Putin does not agree to a peace deal soon.”
He then blamed
Biden's administration for provoking Putin and allowing him to profit from
soaring energy prices, saying: “Biden
did a horrible, horrible job in allowing that war to start, it should never
have started. He allowed energy to go way up, if he brought it down the war
wouldn't have started.”
What People Are
Saying
Trump then wrote
on his “Truth Social” page: “I'm not
looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good
relationship with President Putin - and this despite the Radical Left's Russia,
Russia, Russia HOAX. We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second
World War, losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process. All of that being
said, I'm going to do Russia, whose economy is failing, and President Putin, a
very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT'S ONLY GOING TO
GET WORSE. If we don't make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to
put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by
Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries. Let's
get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We
can do it the easy way, or the hard way - and the easy way is always better.
It's time to “MAKE A DEAL.” NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!”
Trump has his own
agenda and will not support Ukraine just because it is a victim of Russian
aggression early on saying: “Zelensky is no angel
and would fail preventing this war from happening.”
Trump’s personal criticism indicates that there is a strong
likelihood that the US will not be a team player with Ukraine (and the EU).
Trump sees the ongoing war not as a continuation of the
first Russian invasion in 2014 (when they took control of Crimea).
Now Trump reduces the war to the period from February 2024. Trump also today misinterprets and/or ignores the causality behind Russia against Ukraine that plays right in Putin’s hands.
Jim Sciutto, a CNN anchor
and chief national security analyst, wrote on X about that statement: “Would Trump have said the same thing of
Poland in 1939?”
What Happens Next
Trump is expected to hold meetings with Putin and Zelensky
to begin his push for a peace deal in the coming weeks. Putin has said that he
is willing to enter negotiations with the new
administration, but stipulated that he wants to eliminate the root causes of
the Ukrainian conflict.
My 2 Cents: Pretty simple, this article stands alone and kind of
speaks for itself – it is a very good piece and underscores just far off the
deep end Trump has gone already in only 5 days in office.
Image the next load crap
he generates without a worry in the world. Folks, we are in deep, deep doo-doo
right now under Trump 2.0.
We had better see what now
lies in our collective face before it’s too late for the planet and every
living thing on Earth. This is not any kind of hyperbole either.
I speak the truth of what I
see and hear directly from Trump’s own mouth and how the MAGA morons listen and
peddle his total nonsense and especially MAGA types in Congress.
In a word: Trump and his MAGA
loyalists have lost all connectivity to common sense, decency, and justice. They
are lopsided and out of tune with anything rationally logical.
Thanks for stopping by.
