LOS ANGELES.–Unable to switch gears from years of brainwashing by the Biden administration, the fake news questions 78-year-old President Donald Trump’s commitment to end the Ukraine War. Why the U.S. press backs the Ukraine War is anyone’s guess, other than giving it more yellow journalism to report. Questioning why Trump wouldn’t follow 82-year-old President Joe Biden’s Ukraine War strategy, the fake news shows why it’s so dangerous to the American public, continuing to push for war when Trump wants to find a political solution. Presenting Russia as an implacable enemy, the U.S. press has a short memory before Biden when every U.S. president since the end of WW II strived to improve diplomacy, global cooperation, détente and arms control with the Kremlin. ABC News moderator David Muir asked Trump Sept. 27, 2024 in debate who he wanted to win the war.
Muir’s insulting question was the epitome of media bias, where the entire U.S. media, with the possible exception of Fox News, backed 60-year-old Kamala Harris for president. Imagine Muir asking Trump at the debate with Harris whether he wanted Russia to win the war? “Zelensky was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful,” Trump said in a recent interview with Fox News Sean Hannity. “He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made ad deal,” Trump said, referring to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s, 47, catastrophic decision to go to war. NBC News says Biden supported an ally against a U.S. adversary after the invasion in backing the war. Well, NBC News forgets that the U.S. had a historic global partnership with Russia for years. Yet NBC News thinks Biden did the right thing supporting a U.S. ally.
Well, what does Ukraine do for U.S. national security? When Biden was Vice President under former President Barack Obama, he was tasked with cleaning up Ukraine’s corruption. So, during his tenure working on Ukraine’ corruption, Biden got his son Hunter and friend Devon Archer million dollar-plus jobs on the board of a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company. How’s that supposed to work with Biden’s job with Obama to fight corruption in Ukraine? So much for fighting corruption when Biden lands Hunter and his friend lucrative jobs. Biden once said he had no knowledge at all of Hunter’s foreign business transactions. U.S. Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have extensive evidence tying Joe to Hunter and brother Jim’s foreign business deals. Biden’s family made upwards of $30 million on transactions with Communist China, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
Trump thinks Zelensky mad a big mistake opting for war over peace with the Russian Federation. “I could have made that deal so easily, and Zelensky decided that ‘I want to fight’” Trump said, saying what incredibly bad judgment. Only weeks after Russia’s Feb. 24, 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Putin offered Zelensky a deal to end the war. Putin asked Zelensky to recognize Russia’s sovereignty over Crimea and accept the independence of Dontesk and Luhanask. Zelensky, instead, opted for war with the Kremlin. After nearly three years of war Zelensky has lost thousands of troops and civilians and lost 25% of Ukraine’s best territory along the Black Sea coast. Fake news likes to call Russia an adversary and Ukraine an ally. Ukraine was an ally in name only but only after Putin annexed Crimea March 1, 2014 after a CIA-backed coup toppled the Kremlin-backed Kiev government.
Calling Russia and adversary and Ukraine an ally gaslights the public into thinking that it was in the U.S. national security interest to go to war with the Kremlin. “You don’t fight those,” Trump said referring to the kind of tank warfare that’s dominated the battlefield. Calling Zelenskhy “no angel” and saying he “shouldn’t have allowed this war to happen” shows how Trump plans to resolve the conflict once he meets with Putin. “We’re going to work very much with both parties to try to get this settled and get it worked out,” Trump told reporters before his met with Zelensky in December. When the fake news thinks that Trump should follow the failed Biden strategy isn’t known. U.S. press has difficulty accepting anything that Trump says because he’s called out the mainstream press as corrupt. Democrats and the press find any excuse possible for criticizing anything Trump.
Trump wanted to telegraph to Putin before his summit that he’s going to make a favorable deal with Russia in any negotiation. Not only will Russia be able to stay in Ukraine and keep any land won in three years of war, he’ll get a guarantee from Trump that Ukraine will not join NATO now or in the future. Zelensky provoked Putin into invading by accepting copious amounts of U.S. weapons and demanding that NATO accept Ukraine for membership. Zelensky had NATO’s sympathy but, former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and current Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Ukraine was not eligible to join NATO because of its war with Russia. NATO doesn’t want to fight Ukraine’s battle, despite sympathy for Ukraine’s political dilemma. Zelensky can’t get Ukraine’s sovereign land back now that he’s lost it in armed combat, triggering the rules of war.
