Trump wants to End the Ukraine War

Francis Fukuyama writes:
Even though anyone with eyes could see this coming, Donald Trump’s recent moves with regard to Ukraine and Russia come as a huge blow. We are in the midst of a global fight between Western liberal democracy and authoritarian government, and in this fight, the United States has just switched sides and signed up with the authoritarian camp.

What Trump has said over the past few days about Ukraine and Russia defies belief. He has accused Ukraine of having started the war

We have been fighting on the wrong side. Ukraine is the authoritarian and corrupt government.

Yes, Ukraine started the war, and Zelendsky is a monster. We need to stop supporting him.

Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Trump doesn't care about the war beyond the opportunity to carve ip Europe and the money his cronies and family can make off of a Russian victory.

Roger,
Francis Fukuyama also wrote 'The End of History' back in the 90s. He couldn't have possibly been more wrong, I wouldn't put too much stock in his silly predictions.

Mike,
I for one agree with Trump on something you clearly don't understand:
World War III would suck tremendously. Europe is in NO WAY prepared to fight it, they have neither the will, the money, the manpower, the military hardware, or the balls to do so.

This by process of elimination would leave the US as the only party who could really attempt to right Russia, to enter the fray and throw our own blood and treasure into a meat grinder the Europeans are far too chickenshit to confront themselves. While this whole WWIII business was going on with Russia, what pray tell do you think the Chinese would be doing? Sitting idle?

You can always pick up your hockey stick and volunteer to go over to the Ukraine to fight on their behalf if you would like to put YOUR OWN life on the line.

For the historical record, Europe has been 'carved up' since WWI, and Trump has no need of money from corrupt Eastern European oligarchs.... that was entirely Resident Biden's schtick.
