Trump's bullshit "peace plans" exposed as flim-flam
Who can forget Donald Trump’s bold campaign rhetoric? He was going to go into the history books as a peacemaker for the ages. Those two wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which would of course never had started, had he been in the Oval Office instead of Biden, the worst president in US history, would be wound up right away; Ukraine in 24 hours, and Gaza maybe a day or two later.
We’re past the first fifty days of Trump 2.0. Should the Nobel Committee be mooting a Peace Prize for Mafia Don? Alas, that would be premature.
The current Gaza ceasefire went into effect the day before Trump’s swearing in. Its primary flaw is that Israel has never ceased fire. They’ve merely scaled back the genocide, killing a mere handful of Gazan’s per day instead of dozens or hundreds. At the same time, they shifted the focus of their ethnic cleansing campaign, massively expanding their attacks on the West Bank. For the past week Israel has again blocked all food, water, medicine, and energy entering Gaza. There is no peace and no ceasefire.
The 24 hour peace envisioned for Ukraine was stillborn. Instead, some 1,200 hours in, Rubio has announced, with much fanfare, that Zelensky has agreed to the Trump plan, and “the ball is now in Putin’s court.” The Trump non-plan is for a 30 day truce. Of course Zelensky signed on. He has no choice!
But what’s in it for Russia? Even in our legacy media, all but the most deluded fabulists now admit what was obvious enough from the beginning, that Ukraine is losing and will continue losing more every day. Threats of more arms, or the even sillier threat of more sanctions - really tough ones this time - are as ridiculous as they sound. The official Kremlin response has not arrived, but it would be foolish to expect anything other than a big fat nyet.
In conclusion, Trump the peacemaker is 0 for 2 at this juncture.
On the other hand, Trump the destroyer is batting it out of the park all over the place!
