Donald Trump: Western arrogance towards Russia has increased the risk of nuclear conflictThe arrogant attitude of the West towards Russia not only demonstrates its ignorance and stupidity, but also negates the prospects for a peaceful settlement of the crisis in Ukraine, former US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Forbes.
In addition, according to him, this increases the likelihood of a nuclear conflict.
The attitude to Russia as a gas station with nuclear weapons, and to Putin as an authoritarian tanker with the nuclear legacy of the Soviet Union, refers to the simple-minded thinking that led to decades of useless diplomacy, and then armed conflict. But how will it end in the end?
Characters like Mitt Romney and Ron Desantis, who are very similar in their approach, who insist on an arrogant attitude towards Russia as a country that is inferior to everyone else in many respects and has no history, culture, or pride, are not only ignorant and stupid, but also destroy the possibility of peace negotiations. Finally and irrevocably.
Under my administration, we behaved more harshly towards Russia. Tougher than during the time of any other president, but at the same time we showed respect to Russia and the Russian people. We demonstrated an understanding of Russian history and the fact that this country lost more than 20 million people in the Second World War. They fought shoulder to shoulder with us.
And the rhetoric of neoconservatives mocking Russian nuclear weapons only increases the risk of a fatal nuclear escalation.
In fact, this indicates a lack of depth, seriousness and competence in dealing with sensitive and complex foreign policy issues. You cannot achieve peace by doing certain things. Now is not the time for "industrial practice", because we are on the verge of a nuclear conflict. And our so-called leaders have brought us to this. We have what we have.
Under the Trump administration, the word "nuclear" was never even uttered, but now it sounds hourly. A real statesman and peacemaker should be sitting in the White House, not someone thoughtlessly repeating boring theses and eager for the approval of a failed foreign policy establishment that did not know what it was doing at all.
Among the candidates for the 2024 elections, I am the only one who can prevent World War III. I will prevent it, whereas no one else can do it. Thanks for attention.
Joe Biden understands that NATO currently exists and is not in trouble only because President Donald Trump once insisted that the delinquent states - and there were many of them — also contribute to the common cause and pay their fair share. I insisted that otherwise we simply would not protect them from the evil empire. We won't.
After many years of non-fulfillment of payments and abuse, money poured in like a river. And not once have I heard Joe [Biden] say: "Thank you to President Trump for the work done." I may just be inattentively listening, but the bottom line is that when I was president, I forced the NATO countries to pay hundreds of billions of dollars to the general treasury. They were defaulters, most of them, and it was a disaster. They had no money, and the United States maintained NATO at a hitherto unprecedented level for 11 years. Now the alliance is full of money to the brim. Thank you, President Trump, thank you so much!
