Democrats demonizing Trump for ending Ukraine war shameful

On October 24, 2022, 8 months after the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine began, 30 Democratic congresspersons wrote President Biden, “We urge you to make vigorous diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated settlement and ceasefire, engage in direct talks with Russia, explore prospects for a new European security arrangement acceptable to all parties that will allow for a sovereign and independent Ukraine, and, in coordination with our Ukrainian partners, seek a rapid end to the conflict and reiterate this goal as America’s chief priority.”

Biden and the Democratic establishment went ballistic, forcing the 30 Democratic peacemakers to rescind their letter within 24 hours ‘Just shut up about ending the war’ was the message of Biden and the war Democrats.

For the remaining 28 months of Biden’s term the entire Democratic administration, Congress and their sycophantic pundits remained in lockstep with Biden’ refusal to use diplomacy to end a horrendous war destroying Ukraine and putting the world at risk of nuclear war.

That was a disgraceful betrayal of very decent, peaceful, life affirming tenant of the Democratic Party.

While Biden never wavered in his lust to weaken, even destroy Russia using Ukrainian proxies to do all the dying, his predecessor Trump ditched that murderous, failed policy on Day One of his second term.

He announced he’d end 3 years of silence and begin negotiations with Russia to end the war. That alone could prevent this war from spiraling into a nuclear confrontation, something possible every one of the 1,095 days of this war.

Trump wasted no time both talking to Putin, and having his diplomatic team led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio engage in substantive talks with their Russian counterparts.

The outline of the peace settlement is astonishing. No NATO for Ukraine. No return of the roughly fifth of Ukraine territory Russia acquired on their border with Ukraine.  That includes the Donbas where the Kyiv government had spent 8 years destroying the Russian culture of the Donbas Ukrainians there. Upwards of 10,000 Donbas Ukrainians were killed.  Russia will pledge peace for the remaining 80% of Western Ukraine as long as Ukraine refrains from being a US/NATO Trojan Horse to block Russia from the Western European political economy.

In addition the US will not provide troops to enforce any settlement. Trump is proposing it’s time for Europe to take care of its own security, especially that of Ukraine. With a GDP ten times that of piddly Russia, that should be a snap.

The flummoxed Democrats want nothing to do with making peace in Ukraine and possibly preventing nuclear war. Oblivious to the waste of $175 billion that hasn’t prevented Ukraine’s destruction, they’re aghast Trump seeks peace. They charge he’s a Putin like dictator giving Putin everything he wants when Trump simply recognizes that America’s proxy war against Russia has failed and must be ended. Trump also knows that 80 years after WWII ended, it’s time to consider drawing down America’s 64,000 soldiers standing around doing nothing in Europe except squandering taxpayer treasure.

Trump seeks more than just an end to the calamitous Ukraine war. He seeks rapprochement with Russia, a pipsqueak nation with one twelfth America’s economy that poses no threat to Western Europe or America whatsoever. Tho not mentioned yet, such détente could lead to denuclearization, something both Trump and predecessor Biden failed to achieve in the previous 8 years. Trump has much to atone for in his reckless nuclear policy that saw him leave two critical nuclear agreements with Russia.

 

Consider how much easier all these developments might unfold if Democrats would jettison their embrace of Biden warmongering and support Trump peace initiatives with Russia. That embrace may have cost Democrats the election as over 6 million of Biden’s 2020 voters deserted candidate Harris last November. Polling showed the biggest reason was Biden’s crazed war policies in Ukraine and Gaza.

Demonizing Trump for seeking peace in Ukraine and détente with Russia keeps the Democratic Party weakened and demoralized. It’s not only disastrous for Democratic electoral success, it’s disastrous for Ukraine, America, indeed the world.
