Description: Danny's article:Could Ukraine Have Avoided War with Russia?https://www.19fortyfive.com/2025/02/c... The presentation compares Trump’s approach to foreign policy—especially regarding the war in Ukraine—to historical appeasement, questioning whether he is like Neville Chamberlain in 1938 or a hard-nosed peacemaker willing to defy convention to stop wars. The speaker argues that Trump is a peacemaker, suggesting that continuing the status quo would lead to more Ukrainian deaths and territorial losses.Key points:Trump has been vocal about ending the war in Ukraine, criticizing Zelensky and questioning the effectiveness of Western support.He calls Zelensky a "dictator without an election," doubling down on rhetoric rather than softening it.Trump believes the war is unwinnable for Ukraine and argues it should have been avoided through diplomacy.He suggests cutting off U.S. aid to Ukraine, seeing it as mismanaged and unaccounted for.Trump acknowledges that Russia holds the leverage in negotiations and believes he can make a deal with Putin to end the war.Western leaders and media figures strongly criticize Trump's stance, calling it appeasement and a betrayal of Ukraine.The speaker supports Trump's view, asserting that Western politicians are detached from reality and mistakenly believe Ukraine can still win with more aid.Overall, the presentation frames Trump as a realist confronting an entrenched establishment unwilling to acknowledge Ukraine's deteriorating position.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
