It is futile to try to find some coherent tissue, some meaning at all, in the foreign policy of Donald Trump’s first presidency. Although his followers advertise that he “didn’t start a war”, as proof that his own four years of power in the most powerful country in the world did not have a bloody imprint (a positive one, obviously), this perception ignores the continuity of politics. That is to say, that whatever you do, even with the “heavy pressure” that the USA has internationally, produces long-term results. That is, even when the originator of the original policy has finished his term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Trump’s flirtations with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un eventually encouraged the latter to continue his nuclear program unabated. Also, the economic war that started with China continues (with Biden’s blessings, of course) with unknown consequences in the international economy, but without any “American victory” in sight. While Trump’s contacts with Putin, whom he had even praised many times, probably convinced the clearly more intelligent Russian leader, that the USA, both in the era of Trump and in the era of Biden, is seriously suffering from leadership and vision. Something that perhaps – in our opinion – can partially explain the aggressive extroversion shown by Moscow towards Ukraine. In other words, betting that the US will not react either directly or effectively, experiencing a hegemonic recession and an inability to define policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Trump now appears as the favorite for a new term in the White House, having won the primary election for the Republican nomination in Iowa, while his opponent, Florida Governor Ron DeSandis, announced that he was withdrawing from the nomination race and that from now on he supports Trump. So we can already make a solid case that Trump will be the Republican candidate for the presidency of the USA in the November elections, while he is already ahead in the polls by Biden, who, although clearly exhausted and old, insists on running for a 2nd term.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Trumpian “solution” for Ukrainian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This long introduction is made to go to the closest to us: Where the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky stated in an interview on Friday, that Trump’s perceptions of “immediate end of the war in Ukraine” (indeed within “24 hours” as hyperbole states) are “dangerous”. Zelensky justified his judgment by saying – and rightly so – that Trump does not clarify based on which scenario, which “settlement” he will seek to end this war. In fact, Zelensky invited Trump to Ukraine to see the reality up close, without an answer of course (something that has happened before).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth making the following point here: Trump throughout his election campaign (so far at least) while he insists that he will find a solution to the Ukrainian issue, he completely avoids explaining what it will be. He even refuses to clearly condemn Russia for the invasion, while his own party, the Republicans, have said that Moscow is responsible and has violated international law and have voted for sanctions against it and a large amount of aid to Kiev. Even worse, Trump has said in recent months that “we talked to Putin about invading Ukraine, if I were President he wouldn’t have done it” and even that “I’m glad that Putin approves of my desire to end the war.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Trump, of course, he prefers a completely naive approach to international relations through a contradictory prism of either “personal management” or Manichean divisions (which are also easily overturned without any logic), where of course he himself has the\u2026 gift of persuasion, or at least he has the ability to convince himself that he is the “leader at the table”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does all this translate for Kiev? How if Trump is elected, in no time at all the US will abandon Ukraine, in whatever state it is then (most likely some version of the current impasse), and blackmail it into accepting a painful compromise with Russia. Where the compromise will include the Russian troops staying in what they have conquered, which is already a “red” line for Russia, having declared that these areas “have joined our state”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a development for Russia will of course be the most ideal, as not only will its Ukrainian adventure, which has bled the country multiple times and at enormous cost, end, but this will also be done with American mediation! And obviously with some treaty\/armistice that would enshrine the “Russian law” of invasion and occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ukraine’s meddling in US domestic politics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what special relationship does Trump have with Ukraine? During his term as President, they were interested in Ukraine for one main reason. To discover there some scandal concerning Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, when the former was working in Kiev. And this in order to offend the father, who was his opponent in the 2020 elections. The possibility that there was some financial\/political scandal involving son Biden is certainly not small. He himself, a miserable wretch today, with serious personal abuse and behavior problems, had enjoyed for several years – both in the US and internationally – the easy life, with “all doors opening” because of his name, developing relationships in Ukraine with there oligarchs. While he now has major legal adventures in the US, as he is being audited multiple times for tax irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Trump suffocated Kiev to provide corresponding information, in one case even cutting off a package of military aid to Ukraine, as blackmail. But looking for the scandal of his opponent, Trump managed to create his own scandal, as he was accused of illegally using his powers to serve his election campaign, even through a foreign country, to discredit his political opponent. So the House of Representatives in 2019, controlled by Democrats, impeached him, but that stopped in the Senate. And Trump’s phone call to Zelensky (both Presidents of their countries) has now gone down in history, with the former admitting that he discussed the subject of Biden – father and son – with the latter (in the following video from a meeting of the two leaders on 2019 with obvious embarrassment of both when receiving related questions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
