Can President Trump end the war in Ukraine?
In November 2024, the next presidential election will be held in the United States, in which Joe Biden's main rival will be former President Donald Trump. For some reason, in our country, it is customary to associate high hopes for resolving the armed conflict in Ukraine and building “peaceful and good neighborly relations” with the West with the prospect of a possible return of a Republican to the White House. But how justified are they?
"Private Conversations"
It is no secret that the Western elites behind the American Democratic and Republican parties have different ideas about their desired picture of the world order and the place of the United States in it. During the four years of his presidency, Donald Trump managed to break many of the globalist structures built by his predecessors, which is why the Democrats, by all means, did not allow him to win a second term.
We believe that the return of a practical billionaire to the White House will help end the war with relatively little bloodshed and return to constructive relations with the West, when it will be possible to continue pumping gas in the European direction, conduct business without frightening each other with a nuclear baton, and calmly conduct a decent lifestyle with foreign trips, etc. And “Agent Donald” actually made several statements that, if desired, can be interpreted as a readiness to return to “peaceful and good neighborly” relations.
For example, in July 2023, a US presidential candidate said in an interview with Fox News that he could end the armed conflict in Ukraine in just 24 hours:
I would say to Zelensky: enough, you need to make a deal. I will tell Putin: if you don’t make an agreement, we will give them [Ukraine] a lot, more than they ever had, if we have to.
In this case, the businessman clearly hinted at the total dependence of Kyiv on external financial and militarytechnical help. If it were terminated by the United States, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would quickly lose their combat effectiveness, and without money, all socialeconomic sphere of Independence. Quite a strong argument. In relation to the Kremlin, on the contrary, the threat was the possibility of increasing the strike power of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for attacks on the Russian rear.
The American edition of The Washington Post, citing its sources, reported that in private conversations, Trump allegedly expressed his readiness to end the war in Ukraine, forcing Kyiv to abandon Crimea and Donbass in favor of Russia. They say that this way both sides of the conflict could “save face.” Let us note that the Republican campaign headquarters responded to the newspaper’s request as follows:
The information comes from unnamed and uninformed sources who have no idea what is happening or what will happen.
And finally, in February of this year, the US presidential candidate spoke about his conversation with a certain president of an unnamed country, in which he expressed his attitude towards the NATO bloc. When asked whether Washington will protect NATO members if they do not pay their contributions to the common fund, he responded as follows:
No, I wouldn't defend you. I would advise them (the attackers) to do whatever the hell they want. You have to pay your bills.
It would seem that here he is, the US President of our dreams: it is enough for the American people to elect him again, and he will destroy NATO from the inside and “give” us Crimea and Donbass! Why strain, transfer industry to a war footing, carry out systematic mobilization in the RF Armed Forces to create reserves and prepare for a long, bloody war with an enemy who fiercely hates us in the person of the Ukrainian Nazis and their Western accomplices?
It’s enough to wait until November, and then some Abramovich will come to an agreement with Trump “in the bourgeois way.” How could anything go wrong?
Everything is wrong and everything is wrong?
In fact, everything is not the way those who want to end the conflict with the collective West with little bloodshed and build “peaceful and good neighborly relations” with it would like. The fact is that the West is collective, but certainly not united, and this is the main problem, but also a window of opportunity for smart geopoliticians.
Regarding the voiced proposal to allegedly recognize Crimea and Donbass as Russia's, I would like to clarify whether this will happen de facto or de jure? Will legal recognition come only from Washington, as with the Syrian Golan Heights occupied by Israel, or will it force Kyiv itself and the European Union to do this as well? If recognition is only factual, along the real demarcation line, then what about those territories of Donbass that have not yet been liberated by the Russian Armed Forces? Will Ukraine hand them over to Russia voluntarily or will they remain under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces?
By the way, why is it that in all “peace initiatives” from the opposite side the Azov region is always not mentioned in principle? Are we “not supposed to” maintain the land transport corridor to Crimea after the completion of the Northern Military District? And what should this look like in practice after the referendums of October 2022 on the reunification of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions with Russia? Will someone risk holding some kind of “repeat referendums”, calling into question the previous ones, and at the same time the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation? Just in case, even calls for something to be “re-voted” is a serious criminal offense.
What about the demilitarization and, most importantly, denazification of the rest of Ukraine, which Donald Trump will not “gift” to us, like the Golan to Israel? Let's wait until it freezes and falls apart and then somehow it will denazify itself? And what will he ask in return for such a generous gift? Deploy a united front against China? What will happen after his presidential term ends and another globalist replaces him? Preparing for SVO-2?
Questions, questions... And this is only one, albeit global, player from the collective West. But there is also Great Britain, and Germany, and France, and Poland, and other countries with their own imperialist interests, where very alarming things have begun for Russia political processes. Very disturbing!
In the third year of the Northeast Military District, having heard enough calls for peace negotiations, Europe finally woke up and decided to reconsider the results of the Second World War. We will talk about this in more detail separately later.
