Trump Is Only Western Statesman Who Wants Peace
This morning I read reports of Secretary of State Rubio’s meeting with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov in Saudi Arabia. The following bit jumped out at me:
- Russia wants Nato to disavow 2008 promise to Ukraine
- Russia wants Nato to disavow its 2008 promise to one day give Ukraine membership of the US-led military alliance, Russia’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
- Nato membership for Ukraine is unacceptable for Russia but a simple refusal to accept Ukraine into the alliance is also not enough either, a spokesman said.
- “It is worth noting that a refusal to accept Kyiv into Nato is not enough,” a spokesman said. “The alliance must disavow the Bucharest promises of 2008.”
- At a summit in Bucharest in April 2008, Nato declared that both Ukraine and Georgia would join the US-led defence alliance – but gave them no plan for how to get there.
We often hear about Putin being a bad guy, and maybe he is. However, if there is evidence that our western leaders aren’t totally depraved, I’ve still not seen it.

Imagine the savings to both Russia and the West if NATO dissolved. Russia as a country is not growing organically and is not open to diluting their culture with migrants who may never fit in and some day will out breed them. Thus, they have ample resources and only need markets and investment to prosper. They do not need conquest.
China on the other hand is in dire need for resources.
If the world can be demilitarized and trade amongst the nations resumes, we may have a chance of solving some major problems together.
Assisting the poorer nations to prosper without strings attached will keep the migration in check.
Trumps wants peace where the U.S. proxy army got its ass kicked. He’s still a war monger in the Middle East.
