EA on WION: Russia’s Record Missile and Drone Strikes Across Ukraine
In a 38-minute VideoCast, I joined Times Radio’s Trump Report on Monday to dive into two linked topics about the future of Europe.
I evaluate the latest twist in Vladimir Putin’s 39-month full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with Donald Trump’s outburst over Russia’s record-setting missile and drone strikes on civilian areas.
Has Putin again gambled and overreached, giving “adults in the room” to provide US support to Kyiv? Or will the unpredictable Trump return to the Kremlin’s pocket and its maximum demands to break up and weaken Ukraine?
Then I consider the project by some in the Trump camp to break up the European Union through tariffs and support of hard-right parties across the continent.
I explain the years-long development of the campaign, and I focus on the Trumpist promotion of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party to take power in the UK.
