The war in Ukraine will go on no matter who wins the 2024 US presidential elections according to Russian President Vladimir Putin according to Reuter’s ‘Putin signals he expects long war in Ukraine, is not betting on Trump’ said that
“Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday indicated he was bracing for a long war in Ukraine, saying that Kyiv could use any ceasefire to rearm, and that Washington would continue to see Russia as an enemy no matter who won the 2024 U.S. election.”
Putin was speaking at an economic forum in Vladivostok when he told the audience that
“There will be no fundamental changes in the Russian direction in U.S. foreign policy, no matter who is elected president,” Putin said. “The U.S. authorities perceive Russia as an existential enemy.”
Former US President Donald Trump claims that if he wins the 2024 US elections, he will end the Russia-Ukraine War in 24 hours,
“If it’s not solved, I will have it solved in 24 hours with Zelensky and with Putin,” Trump told war propagandist Sean Hannity of FOX News.
Well, remember when Trump was the president, he authorized weapons sales to Ukraine on numerous occasions. In early 2017, ABC News published a report based on Trump’s authorization for the Military Industrial Complex to sell Ukraine weapons titled ‘Trump approves sale of new arms to Ukraine amid escalated fighting’ said that
“President Donald Trump has approved the sale of more lethal arms to Ukraine as the country fights off Russian-backed fighters in its east — despite the president’s recent overtures for cooperation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
Then in 2019, Trump once again approved another arms sale to Ukraine according to ABC News once again stating that “The Trump administration has approved the $39 million sale of defensive lethal weapons to Ukraine, according to two U.S. officials and another source familiar with the plan.” In this case, actions speak louder than words so who could blame Putin for not being optimistic for any chance of peace? No US presidential candidate, whether a Democrat (except with the possibility of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. who is against the war but has no chance of winning the Democratic nomination) or Republican would end the war.
The US-NATO alliance wants Russia destroyed. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov once said that
“The actions of countries of the collective West and (Ukrainian President) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is controlled by them, confirm the global nature of the Ukrainian crisis” and that “It is no secret that the strategic goal of the US and its NATO allies is victory over Russia on the battlefield as a mechanism for significantly weakening or even destroying our country.”
Trump or the Democrats will continue their war against Russia at all costs no matter who wins the election. Putin is not optimistic about any of the US presidential candidates including Donald Trump.
The world is dangerously close to a major war led by the US-NATO alliance so Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran are preparing for the inevitable outcome, a war with Western powers that will have an impact on every man, woman, and child on the planet.
Why is the US establishment willing to risk such a destructive war that can result in the deaths of millions or even billions of people, especially if nuclear weapons are used? Perhaps the US establishment and their globalist partners believe that hiding in their bunkers in Patagonia, Argentina, or in New Zealand or any other place far from a world war will keep them safe, who knows.
One thing is certain, the US and NATO believe that destroying Russia would allow them to maintain their power over the rest of the world no matter what the cost is even if it means using nuclear weapons to achieve that goal.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said it best,
“This is no longer a war between Russia and Ukraine, it is a war of the NATO-led, US-led imperialists who are trying to destroy Russia in order to impose themselves as masters of the planet.”
