Will Trump Really Change American Foreign Policy? He Says He Will Make Sure there is Peace, …Fed-up with Zelensky. “End the Ukraine Conflict in a Single Day” ??
Donald Trump is virtually always hailed as the enemy of the Deep State, even according to his own statements. He said repeatedly that he’ll dismantle it and make sure there’s peace. When it comes to the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict,
Trump insists he’ll end it in a single day. While such efforts would certainly be commendable, the question arises, how likely is it?
Russian diplomacy thinks it’s unrealistic and for good reason, as there are still ultra-radical elements within the Ukrainian society who have been brought to power with billions of Western funds. In other words, NATO made sure the war keeps going regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election. However, Trump would certainly want to end the war for purely practical reasons. Namely, his political opponents keep using the so-called “Ukraine aid” to funnel money back into the United States and into the DNC coffers.
This also should be more than enough of a reason for a new Trump presidency to end the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict. And indeed, it may seem like the last chance to prevent a wider Russia-NATO confrontation. Trump is also using this to great effect by essentially warning he’ll quit the presidential race if he loses this time. Namely, in a new September 22 interview with former CBS News journalist Sharyl Attkisson, he said that he likely won’t run for president again if he loses this time.
“If you’re not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?” Attkisson asked.
“No, I don’t. I think that that will be – that will be it. I don’t see that at all,” Trump replied, adding: “I think that, hopefully, we’re going to be successful [in the 2024 General Election].”
The Republican nominee touched upon several key issues regarding the Biden administration’s horrible handling of the country, including economy, financial and energy security, inflation, illegal immigration, etc. He also talked about the two recent assassination attempts. He also mentioned these two nearly fateful incidents in a separate interview with Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade on September 21, when he said that he’s concerned about his family’s safety.
“I do [worry]. I do. I don’t talk about it, but I do. I have to worry about family. I have to worry about everybody. I worry about you,” Trump stated.

The second shooter, Ryan Routh, turned out to be a rabid Russophobe and an ardent supporter of the Neo-Nazi junta. This is further evidence that it’s not in Trump’s interest to support the Kiev regime and that he could indeed make an effort to end the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict.
In the meantime, Zelensky keeps getting on his bad side, this time by visiting crucial swing states such as Pennsylvania. On September 22, he was flown in aboard a USAF C-17 heavy military transport aircraft, prompting criticism that the troubled Biden administration is using federal assets for political purposes.
Zelensky already made enemies in the Trump camp, including the latter’s running mate, Senator JD Vance. Namely, in an interview he gave to CNN on the second anniversary of the special military operation (SMO), Zelensky didn’t have anything nice to say about Vance.
In fact, the former comedian insisted that Vance, who served in the US Marine Corps, is “clueless” about the ongoing NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict. It seems the fatigues Zelensky has been wearing since the SMO started gave him the illusion that he’s an actual military commander. Zelensky was always highly critical of Vance, as the latter was one of the staunchest opponents of the $60 billion “aid” package that the US provided to the Neo-Nazi junta in late April. Vance was certainly aware of the Kiev regime’s massive issues with endemic corruption, while also understanding that, as previously mentioned, much of that money was also being funneled back into the US so that the no less corrupt Democrats could get their “fair share” of the spoils. In addition, Trump’s running mate also repeatedly expressed doubt that the so-called “military aid” would change the real situation on the ground.
Obviously, this is something that Zelensky never takes too kindly and insists that “Ukraine is winning”. However, while it’s clear that a potential new Trump administration wouldn’t be too keen on supporting the Kiev regime, can the same be said when it comes to other global hotspots? Namely, Trump is highly unlikely to defuse tensions with China, Iran, Venezuela, Syria and numerous other countries that have been exposed to decades of US-led/NATO aggression. What’s more, if Trump is hoping to break Russia from the multipolar world so the US could focus more easily on other BRICS+ partners, he’s gravely mistaken. Moscow will certainly not risk any damage to relations with its strategic allies just so it could get another four years of a silent “cold war” with the US. The Kremlin’s reasoning is quite sound – Washington DC will remain its primary adversary no matter who’s in power in the US.
Similar strategic thinking is present in much (if not most) of the multipolar world. Iran cannot trust America, as the legally binding international agreements it signs with one administration are then renounced by the new one, making it impossible to trust the US to ever honor its legal commitments. Washington DC also keeps proving this in the case of arms control agreements, as it has unilaterally withdrawn from all of them (except the New START, which is set to expire in 2026 anyway).
China is in a similar situation, as the documents it signed with the Trump administration to end the trade war at the time proved to be effectively void, because the troubled Biden administration keeps surrounding the Asian giant with the previously banned medium and intermediate-range missiles (permanently stationed in the Philippines and Japan). In other words, the damage is already done and nobody will ever trust the US a single word its leadership utters.
