MAGA Meets Ukraine - Eastern Express - TVP World



Could a second Trump presidency actually benefit Ukraine? In this episode of Eastern Express, we get into three surprising reasons why Trump might end up tightening the screws on Russia instead of cozying up to Putin. From forcing Europe to step up to playing the wild card in peace negotiations, we explore the unpredictable world of Trump’s foreign policy.

a) Donny dipshit will force a peace deal
b) EU and NATO will step up and contribute more to Ukraine
c) Russia will be happy with the territory it has or perhaps even give some back...

a - Donny Dipshit is the worst "deal maker" in history. Putin is ex-KGB. Which one is more intelligent? And would Ukraine ever consider giving up it's industrial base... not to mention a lot of resources located in now occupied Ukraine?

b - Eu and Nato have never been that good about hanging together. Witness Brexit. Not to mention WW2 and Neville Chamberlain and "Peace in Our Time". Quisling became a term meaning traitor BECAUSE a person named Quisling gave Norway over the Germany early in the war.

c - Russia under Putin has never shown any ability to keep to any deal made with them and territory they controlled as part of the USSR. Putin, while not a communist but a kleptocrat, has made no secret that he want the former glory of the USSR... to have a land mass and population like the Communist bloc of a generation ago.

As the MP from Ukraine keeps pointing out... would YOU make a deal with someone that comes into your home and kills your children just to save yourself or maybe another child? Or would you fight to the death?
