Ukraine War, Day 1,102: Trump and Vance Attack Zelensky and Ukrainian Security
In an hour-long VideoCast, I chat with Jonathan MS Pearce of ATP Geopolitics about the danger of Donald Trump’s personal and incoherent foreign policy for the security of Ukraine, Europe, and the US.
I start by detailing Ukraine’s three-year resistance of Russia’s full-scale invasion, and look at Moscow’s “hybrid warfare” including disinfomration since 2004.
Then I discuss the specifics of the Trump Administration’s abandonment of Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion. I go wider to look at the breaking of the 84-year alliance with Europe, combined with the destruction by Trump and his unelected co-President Elon Musk of the US system.
Then I consider what can be done given the departure of the US Government as a responsible and reliable actor.
The discussion was recorded less than two hours before the attempt of Trump and J.D. Vance to humiliate Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.
