Don’t get your hopes up too much that Trump will bring peace to Ukraine. From Strategic Culture at strategic-culture.org:
Peace in Ukraine will come when the U.S. imperialist rulers realize that Russia’s terms are the only acceptable option.
Well, at least one can say that Donald Trump is talking about ending the conflict in Ukraine. The Republican candidate for the United States presidency has lately been calling for the “horrible war” to end.
With his trademark brashness, Trump promises American voters that if elected on November 5, he can mediate a peace deal “within 24 hours”.
As for Joe Biden, the Democrat White House incumbent, he has repeatedly said he has no intention of seeking a diplomatic settlement, vowing to support the Kiev regime “until the last Ukrainian” in what is a futile war against Russia.
This week, the Biden administration pledged another $2.3 billion in military aid to the hopelessly corrupt Zelensky regime to keep fighting NATO’s proxy war. A war that has cost over 500,000 Ukrainian military deaths.
Biden is at one with the U.S. and European political establishments in his relentless warmongering. On both sides of the Atlantic, the dominant policy in Washington and Brussels – the U.S.-EU-NATO axis – is simply war, war, war. The militarist money racket and Russophobia are entrenched and incorrigible, overriding any common sense or moral decision-making.
Hillary Clinton, the former Democrat presidential candidate who embodies the U.S. deep state, this week urged Ukrainians to keep on fighting to get Biden re-elected.
Meanwhile, in Europe, there was alarm and apoplexy among various leaders when Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban flew to Moscow in an unscheduled visit to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the prospects of a peaceful settlement. Orban was roundly condemned for daring to reach out to Putin.
So, against this background of inveterate warmongering it seems rather refreshing that Trump should at least be contemplating an end to the violence in Ukraine – the worst conflict in Europe since the end of the Second World War and one that risks escalating to all-out nuclear conflagration.
