Trump Gets Stiffed Again by His Idol Putin as China Admits It Wants the Ukraine War to Drag on to Keep the US and NATO Out of Asia
We begin with Trump’s charade of appearing to broker a peace between Russia and Ukraine getting stiffed again by his idol Putin who refused to play along with Trump, spurning our traitor-in-chief’s incentive of holding up approved arms for Ukraine which has been under the heaviest bombardment since Russia started the war. We discuss how the Ukrainians feel about Trump’s consistent efforts to sell them out while he does everything he can to remove sanctions on Russia and please the boss in the Kremlin as well as the Chinese VP’s admission that China wants the war to drag on in Russia’s favor because it distracts the US and NATO from Asia. Joining us from Kyiv is Tamar Jacoby, the Kyiv-based director of the Progressive Policy Institute’s New Ukraine Project. She was a senior writer and justice editor at Newsweek and, before that, the deputy editor of the New York Times op-ed page. Now a regular contributor to Forbes.com, she is the author of Someone Else’s House: America’s Unfinished Struggle for Integration and Displaced: The Ukrainian Refugee Experience.
