Trump & Zelensky at Odds - What this Means for Peace Talks
Key Points:
Trump vs. Zelensky:
- Zelensky criticized Trump and Vice President Harris on 60 Minutes.
- Analysts argue Trump may now have more tension with Zelensky than with Putin.
- Trump recently said the war "wasn't his" but now it's his responsibility as president.
Trump's Stance on Ending the War:
- Trump has talked about ending the war quickly but hasn't yet taken concrete action.
- Critics say his administration has largely continued Biden’s Ukraine policy, including ongoing military aid.
Colonel Doug Macgregor’s View:
- Says Trump hasn't fully taken control of U.S. foreign policy.
- Believes Zelensky should’ve been cut off from U.S. support early.
- Claims Trump needs to stop vacillating and take decisive leadership.
Responsibility for the War:
- Trump said Putin shouldn’t have started it, but also that Zelensky and Biden could have prevented it.
- Macgregor agrees Biden could have stopped the war by halting NATO expansion and negotiating with Russia.
Criticism of NATO and Western Strategy:
- The war stems from NATO’s eastward expansion and ignoring Russian warnings.
- NATO military support for Ukraine has failed strategically and tactically, with Ukrainian forces bearing the cost.
European & British Reaction:
- Some in the UK accuse Trump of repeating Kremlin propaganda.
- Macgregor dismisses these critics as part of a declining British elite clinging to outdated power structures.
Zelensky's Role in Prolonging War:
- He’s accused of ignoring peace opportunities (e.g. Minsk agreements, Istanbul talks).
- Critics say Zelensky’s policies provoked conflict by pushing to retake Crimea and other disputed regions.
Geopolitical Shifts:
- The conversation criticizes America’s failed economic war on China and its diminishing global power.
- Macgregor argues the “natural world order” (U.S.-led post-WWII dominance) is fading, and new powers (e.g., BRICS nations) are rising.
Conclusion: The discussion is highly critical of U.S. and NATO policies, portrays Zelensky as a puppet propped up by Western elites, and urges Trump to stop wavering and act decisively to end the war. It reflects a broader skepticism of current Western foreign policy and highlights shifting global power dynamics. - D.D.
