All the effort Kyiv had expended in wooing the White House, combining flattery with bribery and a share of Ukraine’s mineral wealth, imploded in minutes when Volodymyr Zelenskyy broke the fundamental rule of the new global reality: he told the truth about Donald Trump.
All America’s allies, the great majority of Republican leaders who have bowed to him, and a good number of his own cabinet, know full well that Trump is trapped in a disinformation bubble, but Zelenskyy said it out loud at a press conference on Wednesday.
In this new world where the foreign policy of the most powerful country on Earth has been rapidly reorganised around the fragile ego of a sullen and resentful old man, you might as well launch missiles at America’s eastern seaboard as utter a few words of rebuke.
This is false, unless the “old man” is putin. Attributing policy to trump is like blaming a car crash on the hood ornament.
US foreign policy under the current fascist regime is laser focused on destroying the core alliances of american power. Trump is far too senile to stay on goal like that and he was never smart enough for strategic planning.
It would’ve taken far longer without trump
What strategic planning? Trump has an admiration for Putin, it’s not any deeper than that.
