Face It, MAGA: Donald Trump Lied To You!
Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters are much like the evangelical supporters of Israel. (In fact, a large percentage of these two groups are one and the same.) Evangelicals defiantly refuse to believe that Cyrus Scofield (and their Dispensationalist pastors) lied to them; and MAGA supporters defiantly refuse to believe that Trump lied to them. But the peace and prosperity of America just might depend on MAGA facing the reality that Donald Trump has indeed lied to them.
Six months into Trump’s term in office have proven that the similarities between Donald Trump and Joe Biden are much more than the differences between them.
Ukraine
We all clearly remember Trump’s repeated campaign promise to end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours” after taking office. Few people believed he could literally end the war in one day, but we all knew that the President of the United States had the power to end that conflict in a very brief period of time: a couple of weeks or less.
All Trump needed to do was terminate the U.S. munitions pipeline to Ukraine and withdraw ALL U.S. personnel—including and especially the CIA—from Ukraine. Had Trump done what he promised to do, the mass murderer and corrupt politician Volodymyr Zelensky would have been forced to cease his “stupid” (Trump’s word) proxy war with Russia, and the war would have ended posthaste—and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians would still be alive.
But what has Trump done? He has continued and is now expanding Ukraine’s (meaning America’s) stupid war.
US President Donald Trump will for the first time use his authority to send weapons drawn from Pentagon stockpiles directly to Ukraine, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing two people familiar with the decision.
While the Trump administration has so far only delivered weapons approved under his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) allows Trump to supply arms to Ukraine in an emergency.
The new shipment could reportedly be worth around $300 million and may include Patriot surface-to-air missiles as well as medium-range rockets.
The president confirmed earlier this week that he would send additional arms to Ukraine.
During his election campaign, Trump criticized Biden’s unconditional aid to Kiev and called Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky “the greatest salesman on Earth” for persuading Democrats to keep weapons flowing.
Trump justifies this betrayal of the American people who voted for him in typical Trump fashion by turning his betrayal into a business deal. “The European Union is paying for them [America’s Patriot missiles]. We are not paying anything for them… This will be a business for us,” Trump spouted.
So, money for the war profiteers justifies the escalation of the Ukraine war. The military/industrial complex (and its allies in Congress) will continue to rake in huge financial profits off the blood of the Ukrainian people.
In an open letter to President Trump, Mark Dankof writes:
You have lied to the American public on the Russian-Ukrainian war. Instead of acknowledging that the United States had no business engaging in a coup d’etat in Kiev in February of 2014 and continuing the illegitimate policy of expanding NATO to encircle Russia, your latest decision to arm Zelensky further has now made Mr. Biden’s War, Mr. Trump’s War. Apparently no one has informed you that Mr. Putin and the Russians have already won this conflict and have decided after the Minsk and Istanbul negotiation frauds, the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, and the Dugina Assassination among others, that acquiescence to your game playing is not going to happen. The only question remaining is whether or not the entirety of Ukraine is going to be destroyed and annexed by Russia with remaining Ukrainians confined to residence in a blue-and-yellow flag cemetery not of their choice. Your policy pivots only prolong the possibility of direct American military involvement in a war the United States cannot win for reasons not related at all to the national security of this country.
