Skulle man lure på hva Trump kommer til å gjøre vedrørende situasjonen i Ukraina så tror jeg man finner mye av svaret her. Donald Trump jr har uttalt seg om saken, og som vi vet er det får spor av dissonans mellom Trump og hans to eldste sønner. At det nettopp er sønnen som uttaler seg kan man vel tenke seg er fordi det representerer en uforpliktende måte for Trump å kunne signalisere hvor han står.
The fighting between Russia and Ukraine has to end in talks, and in order to persuade President Vladimir Zelensky’s government to negotiate, Washington must stop sending money to Kiev, the eldest son of former US President Donald Trump has said.
Donald Trump Jr. was asked the conflict during his appearance on the Timcast IRL podcast on YouTube on Friday.
The 46-year-old said: “Cut off the money. It’s the only way you get them [Ukraine] to the table, right?”
The result of the $111 billion in military and economic assistance that Washington has provided to Kiev since February 2022 has been to “kill hundreds of thousands of innocent men, half of whom were probably indifferent to some of the politics cause they were ethnically Russian anyway,” he argued.
“We’re literally creating the oligarch class of billionaires in Ukraine with whatever is being siphoned off… while they send young men to die as cannon fodder on the frontlines because they couldn’t care less,” Trump Jr. said.
Despite all the Western aid, the Ukrainians “were never winning, they were probably never going to win” against Russia, he added.
If his father Donald Trump returns to the White House after the election in November, he will simply tell the government in Kiev: “Hey, you got like one more month of this and if you’re not at the table it’s done,” the ex-president’s son said.
“Guess what, Zelensky wouldn’t have a chance if we shut it down, so he’d come to the table and they [Moscow and Kiev] would come up with something,” Trump Jr. predicted.
