Trump can’t allow his legacy to be defined as the man who backed down from Putin. With his seemingly unlikely victory, after surviving multiple assassination attempts, Trump could view his ascendancy to power in some messianic light, and believe himself destined to force the world’s ‘strongmen’ to bend the knee to him as de facto global Sovereign, and the resurgent Greatness and Exceptionalism of the American Empire.
Trump’s “peace through strength” mantra is the real biggest threat we face because Putin is the one leader Trump could misread, as Putin has no further room for backing down: the conflict’s resolution is an existential issue for Russia. It’s the unmovable object versus the unstoppable force.
Trump is not coming to save us. The only way out is through. Endeavor to persevere.
The United States did to Russia many things which it never should have done. Executed by a group of people who should never have held office.
These “people” lied, broke treaties, supplied weapons and dollars to Ukraine to commit war crimes and start a war.
Hopefully, Trump knows this and will make amends, apologize and make peace.
Donald is a narcissist and won’t back down. What he and all the rest in Washington fail to grasp is that winners dictate terms to losers. Nato has lost and the US empire is dying. The only option is to accept that and try to guide the collapse or start WW-3. My bet is WW-3
