In Defense of Trump on Ukraine

European leaders, especially Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the United Kingdom, are atwitter with rage over President Donald Trump’s and Vice President J.D. Vance’s thumping of the grifter Zelensky’s performance in the Oval Office on Friday 28 February.? Keir Starmer, Danish?Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and other say their governmentsremain open to deploying?soldiers to?Ukraine.?To which any rational person would exclaim: “Are you insane?”

Keir Starmer, apparently indifferent to women, is clearly indifferent to the hundreds of thousands – potentially millions – of young European men and women he and other feckless old men in The West appear ready to cast into the meat grinder of the Ukraine. Zelensky, egged on by Obama holdovers and neocons in America, defied Trump’s offer concerning a peace deal.

Appearing in his mod dress-down day clothing (just coming from the front you know) his behavior was shocking and inappropriate to many Americans. U.S. taxpayers have doled out close to $180 Billion to Zelensky since 2022 and he proceeds to lecture them about sacrifice. Trump rightly chucked him from the Oval Office.

?But, stepping back from the fray of the day and looking at the true cause of the Ukraine war and crisis, one sees the ugly fingers of those same Obama liberals, neocons and European leftists plotting the war for decades.The whole history is eloquently and precisely outlined by Peter Blaber, a former 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment -Delta (Delta Force) Squadron Commander. His article "How to Make Sense of the Ukraine War: A Chronology of Key Events and Decisions" [1] is a must read for any person purporting to be enlightened on the issue. Some key take-aways, below in italics:

1990:?Mikhail Gorbachev?agreed to dissolve the USSR and allow the 15 separate soviet republics to self-govern. In return U.S. leaders made the Soviets an offer. According to transcripts of meetings in Moscow on Feb. 9, then U.S. Secretary of State James Baker suggested that in exchange for cooperation on Germany, the United States could make?“iron-clad guarantees” that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.”?

So much for NATO promises.?

Expanding NATO Never Made Sense: Some of the most respected minds in US foreign policy over the past 30 years have concluded that expanding NATO doesn’t make sense. George Kennan the father of US Cold War Containment policy warned in 1998 that NATO expansion was a tragic mistake that could lead the Russians to react quite adversely. Henry Kissinger repeatedly said that Ukraine should never join NATO because it was an issue that Russian would almost certainly go to war over … Bill Burns, the former station chief for the CIA in Ukraine who served as Director of the CIA under Biden, said in a memo to Condoleezza Rice that “Ukraine’s entry into NATO is the brightest of red-lines we do not want to cross, Nyet means Nyet.”?

“Nyet” apparently means “Da” to NATO.

Mar 1999:?Eight years after the withdrawal of all Soviet troops from Eastern Europe, and eight years after the ‘iron-clad guarantee that ‘the US would not expand one inch eastward,’ NATO admitted three former Warsaw Pact countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. NATO made this decision without consulting or including Russia and its leaders.

A Washington Post article on the Senate vote to approve NATO expansion described Democratic Senator Joe Biden of Delaware as a "key player in the ratification effort," as well as a major beneficiary of lobbyist money to support the expansion. “This is the beginning of another 50 years of peace," Biden declared as the Senate voted in favor of expanding NATO to include Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.?

This is a key point in our chronology where we can see empirical examples of how the US-Military industrial complex influences our politicians and by proxy, our US foreign policy. What’s the benefit of NATO expansion to the US Military Industrial Complex? Every new country admitted would need new NATO compatible weapons and control systems, as well as the training and infrastructure to support them. In the first two years after their admittance,?U.S. weapons manufacturers sold billions of dollars of weapons and equipment to Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Peace does not mean as much as profits and greed to Biden and the MIC.

On March 24, 1999, NATO attacked a sovereign European country for the first time in its 50-year history.?NATO jets dropped smart and dumb bombs on Serbia for 78 days. Around two thousand civilians were killed. The material damage was between thirty and fifty billion dollars. As a result, Serbia, which had been poor, became even poorer, unemployment increased, and wages decreased

What was NATO’s stated purpose for bombing Serbia for 78 days and nights? According to NATO planners,?the purpose was to inflict "moderate" suffering on the civilian population in order to break the population's will to resist and force it to rise up and overthrow their President, Slobodan Milosevic.”

And, NATO took the side of the Muslim vice Christian population, ignoring fourteen centuries of hell wrought by that enemy.

December 2000:?During one of the final?meetings between Putin and outgoing US President Bill Clinton, Putin told Clinton, “We would consider an option that Russia might join NATO." To which Bill Clinton answered, “I have no objection.”?But according to Putin’s account, “the entire U.S. delegation got very nervous."

Obviously, this never happened.

September 9, 2001:?Putin called his American counterpart George W. Bush with an urgent message: “Ahmad Shah Massoud, leader of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance, had been assassinated in Afghanistan by two al Qaeda suicide bombers posing as journalists.” Putin warned Bush of, “a foreboding that something was about to happen, something long in preparation.”[xvii]?Two days later al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four aircraft and crashed them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a cornfield in Pennsylvania.?

Immediately thereafter, Russia supplied the United States with key intelligence and equipment for its endeavors in Afghanistan.? How was this repaid? By a willful deterioration in relations by The West.

The Kremlin’s narrative about the root causes of the deterioration in relations after 9/11 was extensive and specific: 1) Washington’s unilateral withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, 2) Bush’s Freedom Agenda and 3) U.S. support for “color revolutions” in Eurasia.

What Are Color Revolutions??“Color revolution” is a term used to describe a sophisticated form of warfare that foreign governments and their agents use to create the conditions for political instability and, eventually, regime change in the targeted country.

To accomplish their purpose of regime change, the foreign governments (without exception NATO countries) use cutting edge technology and psychology, as well as a strong role of non-government organizations (NGO’s) and contractors to sponsor, plan, and organize the opposition, their messaging, and the protests.[4]?Since the year 2003, most color revolutions have taken place in post-Soviet states, specifically, Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan.

??????????? The take-away is that many leaders in the United States and Europe, specifically the Uniparty in Washington and Brussels (including their intelligence communities and the military industrial complex) ?are directly responsible for the state of affairs in Ukraine today. And, now they are trying to shame Trump and all those who support peace and stability in the region.

The nonsensical claim that Putin wants to invade Europe are not supported by this history or Russia’s capabilities.? It is sheer sabre rattling that represents the death rattles of a weak leftist cabal of European leaders.?Leaders who have flown Europe into the ground economically, religiously and culturally mostly by morally bankrupt energy and immigration policies are now slapping themselves on the back in a pathetic show of unity in their hatred of all things Trump.But, only their citizens are paying the price for their folly.
