Trump today blamed Ukraine for the start of the war with Russia
In a never-ending saga of being
opposed to just about everything the U.S. stands for, Pres. Trump today blamed
Ukraine for the start of the war with Russia.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion
of Ukraine in February 2022
“You should have never started it. You
could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have
given them almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed, and no
city would have been demolished and not one dome would have been knocked down.
But they chose not to do it that way.”
Pres. Trump
‘Everything about that is Untrue. It is All
Untrue.’ Susan Gordon MSNBC Deadline
White House
Susan M. Gordon served as Principal
Deputy Director of National Intelligence from August 7, 2017, until August 15,
2019.
In saying ‘they chose not to do it that
way’, Trump implies that Ukraine Chose to have a War with Russia. As former Deputy
DNI Sue Gordon points out, Nothing could be further from the Truth.
It is now a matter of common knowledge
that from late 2021 until February 2022, Russian Pres. Putin massed an Invasion Force
in both Russia and Belarus, intending to invade Ukraine, and to
his mind, capture the Capital Kyiv, and forcing Ukrainian Surrender. Things
didn’t go as well as the Generals in Moscow hoped.
Although the Ukrainian Military,
greatly enhanced by U.S. and Western European Military Aid, prevented the
capture of Kyiv and collapse of the country, Ukraine for 3 Years now, has been
unable to repel Russian Forces in the South and South East.
Russia also continues to occupy
Crimea, which it annexed in 2014.
Trump, in complete reversal of
contemporary U.S. Policy, had Representatives meet with Russian Negotiators
without any Ukrainian Representation. Trump, continuing in blaming Ukrainian
Pres. Zelensky and former U.S. Pres. Biden, says, ‘“I
think I have the power to end this war. And I think it’s going very well,’’.
Trump said of Pres. Zelensky, ’I like
him personally. He’s fine', but said he thinks Zelensky lacks the ‘leadership’
to end the war.
Meanwhile, under Trump’s ‘leadership’,
Trump will probably capitulate to Putin’s conditions for peace, no matter how
much of Ukraine he has to give up to get it.
God Help Us.
