The only important western countries that have commendably purposeful leaders today, apart from Israel, are Italy, and up to a point, Hungary and a few of the Baltic countries.

Donald Trump’s return will put the world back in order

Most of the current problems in international relations are the result of the weakness of the principal superpower in the last three years

Just two weeks after the U.S. election, the false hysteria that had been widely generated about immediate abandonment of Ukraine by the incoming Trump administration because of the returning president’s supposed infatuation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has effectively evaporated. It was Trump who ignored the pacifistic havering of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and supplied pre-Zelenskyy Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank missiles to strengthen Ukraine’s resistance against Russian incursions. Trump has never for an instant failed to recognize that Russia must not be allowed to reoccupy Ukraine and his criticism of the Biden administration has not been its resistance to the Russian aggression but the failure to have any strategy to end the war satisfactorily and quickly. Trump’s views should not be confused with those of his quasi-followers who are now so suspicious of the Pentagon’s predilection for becoming involved in distant wars that they rail against the extent of American military assistance to Ukraine, even though at least 90 per cent of the cost of assistance is acquisitions from American defence suppliers.

Trump knows as well as anyone that the largest single ingredient in the great and bloodless western victory in the Cold War over the Soviet Union, apart from the liberation of the so-called satellite countries, (45 years after Stalin had promised this at the Teheran and Yalta conferences with Roosevelt and Churchill), was the independence of Ukraine, the second-largest so-called republic, after Russia itself, in the U.S.S.R. Almost all prominent western politicians saw immediately that if Russia succeeded in reoccupying and re-absorbing Ukraine, it would significantly undo the strategic result of the disintegration of the U.S.S.R. and the western success in the Cold War, and only 30 years after that great victory, would reveal the Western Alliance to be a paper tiger as irresolute as the appeasement powers of the 1930s. In his debate with President Joe Biden, which brought the end of Biden’s career, Trump made it clear in answering a question that he would not accept Putin’s stated terms for peace as they were excessive. His position has been that the West, and specifically the United States, should let the Russians know that unless they moderate their demands and conclude a peace treaty that unconditionally concedes the legitimacy of Ukrainian sovereignty and guarantees somewhat revised borders, the Ukrainians will be armed with the capability to bring this aggressive Russian war forcefully to the Russian civil population, as Putin has insolently and brutally done to the Ukrainians. Trump’s complaint has been the open-ended continuation of the war under Biden’s “whatever and as long as it takes” lack of any satisfactory exit strategy.

Ukraine-says-corrupt-officials-stole-us-40-million-meant-to-buy-arms-for-the-war-with-russia

Ukraine has been labelled the most corrupt country in the world for good reason. Nobody should be surprised if the amount stolen is X5 or X10 what Zelenskyy (I have never trusted this guy) is admitting to. He was elected 5 yrs ago on the promise to clean up the corruption. Fail! Regardless, even if the amount is $40M all the thieves get is “fired”? Somebody afraid of what an investigation (i.e interrogation of suspects) would uncover?
