Economists want to see actual actions in a way of inferring what people believe. This is called “public preference.” I always knew it was a very useful tool.
The recent statements of Trump’s top administrative officials were embarrassed by observers on both sides of the political spectrum. Here is National reviewIn general, Trump supports, but it is different from his view of various important issues.
But in relation to Ukraine’s invasion of Russia so far, Trump suggested to President Vladimir Putin that Ukraine will not regain all merger and occupational territory. After the war, the soil and the United States will release sanctions against Russia. Trump can also withdraw 20,000 US troops sent by Joe Viden to the eastern part of NATO after the invasion of Ukraine.
And in return, Putin proposed. . . Well, it’s really nothing.
Critics complained that this is not a kind of action you can expect from a politician who is proud of becoming a skilled trader.
A few days ago, I proposed The fact that critics were wrong. They were operated under the wrong assumption that Ukraine was an American ally and Russia was our enemy. In fact, Trump has long been a praise by President Vladimir Putin and has often dismissed the Ukrainian government. Instead of seeing this kind of concession before negotiations, I saw them as tactics that weakened Ukrainian negotiations. In short, Trump sees the United States as a Russian friend and sees the Allied forces against Ukraine and the EU.
Today Trump confirmed my claim.
President Donald Trump told the Ukrainians in relation to the war, “You have never started it!” Somewhere in Moscow, Vladimir Putin must smile from ears.
As a result, National Reviews now share my views.
Trump is falling and rash and is trying to justify his current de facto Russian position.
PPS. It is hard to believe only three years ago.
