How Long Until Trump's Surrender to Putin? The Hidden Truth Behind America’s Diplomacy
When President Putin calls in his loans and other 'marks,' it raises the question of whether and when America will truly surrender to his wishes. The 2016 election may seem like a distant memory now, but evidence suggests that the relationship between Trump and Putin began much earlier than that.
The Trump-Putin Relationship: A Year Before the 2016 Election
I believe the foundation of Trump's alliance with Putin was set more than a year before the 2016 election, long before the world recognized the depth of their connection. This relationship is the core of a dark web of geopolitical maneuvering that bypasses conventional diplomacy and aligns two powerful leaders against the interests of their own nations and the world.
Private Helsinki Meeting: The Final Nail in the Coffin
The private meeting in Helsinki in 2017 sealed the fate of America's position under Trump's leadership. This clandestine encounter was not merely a diplomatic discussion but a watershed moment in revealing the extent to which Trump allowed Putin to influence American policy. It was more than a simple spectacle; it was a betrayal of trust and faith in the democratic process.
Trump’s Surrender vs. Biden’s Stance
Some argue that Trump already surrendered America to Putin years ago, and the Helsinki meeting provided the final confirmation. However, others point to Biden's actions as a stark contrast. President Biden's decision to withdraw US National Guard troops from Ukraine immediately after a high-stakes call with Putin highlights a clear divergence from Trump's policies.
It is clear that Biden's actions represent a more robust and principled stance against Russian aggression. Unlike Trump, who often prioritized short-term economic benefits over long-term national interests, Biden has consistently emphasized the importance of standing up to Russia and protecting American values and alliances.
Putin's Strategy: Exploiting Internal Weaknesses
President Putin has long leveraged his relationship with Trump to exploit America's internal weaknesses. Putin did not act in Ukraine because there was no pro-Russian government to support; it was because an American-friendly government stood in his way. The sustained sanctions and support for Ukraine undermined Putin's ability to manipulate Russian-friendly regimes.
Even when Trump seemingly took tough actions against Russia, such as the Magnitsky Act and the Hunter Biden investigation, these moves were often overshadowed by the more significant economic and political benefits that Putin provided. Putin used these alliances to maintain his grip on power and exert influence on a global scale.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
It is crucial to understand the long-term consequences of the Trump-Putin relationship. While Trump's surrender to Putin may have seemed inevitable, it is essential to recognize the shift under Biden's leadership. As we move forward, it is imperative to continue holding Putin accountable for his aggressive actions and to build a strong, unified front against his ambitions.
The path to a more stable and secure future for the United States and its allies requires a steadfast commitment to principles of democracy, human rights, and national security. Let us not forget the lessons of the past and work together to ensure a brighter, safer tomorrow.
