But instead of changing the subject and hoping people don’t notice the obvious fact that he broke one of his most audacious campaign promises, the president can’t seem to help himself. NBC News reported:

President Donald Trump suggested in an interview that aired Thursday night that Ukraine should not have fought when Russia invaded it. ‘Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful,’ Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. ‘He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal.’

The Republican added, “I could have made that deal so easily, and Zelenskyy decided that ‘I want to fight.’” In case that weren’t quite enough, Trump said in the same interview that Zelenskyy is “no angel,” adding that he “shouldn’t have allowed this war to happen.”

.....Indeed, while Trump is blaming Ukrainian leaders for the fact that Russia invaded their country without provocation, he’s also making hollow and meaningless threats toward Moscow, vowing to impose trade tariffs on a country that we’re already not trading with.

In case that isn’t quite enough, Trump’s White House national security advisor, Mike Waltz, recently told ABC News that as far as the administration is concerned, it’s not “realistic” to think Russia will leave Ukrainian soil altogether, suggesting the White House envisions a resolution in which Putin is allowed to keep parts of Ukraine as a reward for launching a devastating and unnecessary war.

Two days before Election Day 2024, The Washington Post reported, “nside Russia’s elite there is a growing expectation that Donald Trump will win and that if he does, there could be a chance to end the war with Ukraine on Moscow’s terms and potentially redraw the global security map.”

Nearly three months later, those Russian elites have reason to be pleased.
