 To Trump, a million casualties in Ukraine war he’s enabling is nothing more than a kids’ fistfight

 

The depravity of Trump’s view of catastrophic war was on full display in his White House meeting with fellow Ukraine war enabler, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump told reporters present that the million plus dead and wounded in the largely degraded Ukraine

 

“Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.”

 

Trump was equally grotesque in pondering the war his predecessor provoked and he’s kept going with endless US weapons, in his phone call to Russia President Putin. “I said, Mr. President, maybe you’re going to have to keep fighting and suffering a lot,’ because both sides are suffering before you pull them apart, before they’re able to be pulled apart.”

 

At the Merz meeting Trump further stated that “When I see the moment where it’s not going to stop … we’ll be very, very tough. And it could be on both countries, to be honest. It takes two to tango.” Trump was threatening sanctions on both Russia and Ukraine to stop their fistfight in the park. He might as well be threatening putting both on ‘Double Secret Probation.’

 

Actually, it takes three to tango since the war goes on because Trump continues enabling it with billions in weapons, logistics and Intel support. Pull that away and Ukraine’s Zelensky would have to negotiate the peace he ran away from in April, 2022 at America’s behest. Had he made peace then Zelensky would still control the 45,000 square miles annexed and not incurred  over a million senseless casualties.

 

And cruel, clueless, delusional Trump sits back pretending he’s still concerned about ending a catastrophic war he’s enabled for the past 137 days
