History is chasing President Trump and, come tomorrow, one way or another, it will find him in Alaska. Many observers warned that their Upcoming meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin may be globally disastrous as British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was with Nazi Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Munich in 1938.
Or it can be worse.
Team Trump has the advantage of history as a guide. The possibility of the next 50 to 100 years of US-Russia relations will be how badly or how badly the Trump knows that history.
On Chamberlane’s failure Hitler to please It is a clear lesson. But other lessons, quite more fine, had an unforgivable negligence in not giving a seat to Czechoslovakia or Poland at the conversation table.
Trump is now repeating the same mistake except Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelancesi. The pretend of the White House is that Putin requested meeting. Except for Zelancesi weakly, Trump is negligent making his mistake more than the original sin of Chamberlane in Munich.
Ukraine today, unlike Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1938, has established itself as a boy against future Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. If Putin wins, Ukraine will not only be lost, but will also have to keep it in military terms – Poland, Moldova, Finland and Baltic states – especially strategic Suvalki Gap, At risk,
Team Trump will be intelligent to see Putin’s machines for a diastopian invasion of Alaska. Ditto all over the west. Putin Ministry of External Affairs On Wednesday, it was clarified that he is not backing down from his maximum demands, which would end Ukrainian freedom. With this meeting, he is trying once again Win from team trump He is not able to win in a three and a half year war.
The Russian evil, as embodied by Putin’s ongoing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against Ukraine, would have won over the notion of the main American values of freedom and freedom. In terms such as Macbeth, this diastopia will end where the American fair is dishonest and Russian dishonesty is fair.
If Putin gives Trump the best in Alaska, it would also be a result of a decisive economic victory by Putin over Trump. Donbas estimates that Ukraine’s rare Earth is more than 50 percent of minerals, with potential economic value $ 5.75 trillionUkraine requires those funds to repay the US and reconstruct after the war.
Recently Kremlin Benefits, including an ongoing Russian Ground brakeout Earlier this week, in Donnetsk, already those Ukrainian rare earth deposits are putting more and more of the wars lines.
Western Europe is Very worriedNot only the team is offering cold shoulder to Trump Ukraine in Alaska, but they are also out of any meaningful participation to London and Brussels that will directly affect their short and long -term national security.
German Chancellor FrederickMerz is not thisHe met with Zelansky on Wednesday, and the two leaders agreed that Ukraine should have the right to join NATO and Kiev would not withdraw from Donbas.
Team Trump cannot expect more ownership of their rescue from their European NATO colleagues – including increasing military expenses up to 5 per cent of the GDP to face the growing Russian threat – while arguing at the same time arguing that Washington has the right to have a unilateral interaction for the future of Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
Instead of putting Ukraine on the same page, Trump is resorting to re -formation and criticizing Zelansky so that to buy favor before interaction with Putin – and as Putin planned. On Tuesday, the White House gave Putin an easy victory, by decomposing Zelancesi.
Earlier on Monday, Trump slammed Zelansky insisted that Ukraine would not exchange any region with Russia to end war. He severely criticized Zelancesi to claim that he could not do so, even if he wanted that Ukraine’s Constitution needs to vote on Ukraine’s Parliament.
Vice President JD Vance had moved even further. He said on Fox News on Sunday morning thatWe are directly done to finance the warin Ukraine. For example, such an amazing mark, Defense Secretary PT Hegaseth issued an order that allows the return of American weapons and ammunition posted in Europe that was intended for the use of Ukraine.
In contrast, Putin’s team is on the same page with his BRICS trading partners and his “Evil of Evil” colleagues, China, Iran and North Korea.
Team Trump is dividing and conquering itself, while the team is an ideologically attacking the 49th state. The result causes great harm to our Indo-Pacific and NATO colleagues.
Putin has already won many symbolic victories. For example, in Russia, for some time, there has been a growing movement to argue that the US has illegally gained Alaska control. A favorite Revisionist story It was that its sale was only a lease, and that the US government fraudulently forged the treaty to make a permanent land transfer.
Putin has to play for the Russian story by allowing his flag to be placed on Alaska soil. The Kremlin will use travel for maximum publicity purposes. Never notice that Putin is a desired war criminal who is currently under prosecution by the International Criminal Court.
Russian diastopia is not a good destination. Not for our country nor for our people. Team Trump often said that they always put America first. If yes, come on Friday, it means finalizing Putin.
Trump still has a home field advantage, and it did not end until it ends. He should clarify that Washington will not allow Ukraine to lose to Putin, nor will we leave our NATO colleagues in front of the current and future Russian aggression.
