Of late, a growing number of people have referred to President Donald J. Trump as “The Peace President.” While true, he is so much more than that. He has proven himself to be the “Peace World Leader.”
Recently – and quite rightly – President Trump posted in part on Truth Social: “I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS, that is Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine. I’m only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President…”
Since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine, it seems that almost everyone rushed to join Team Ukraine while encouraging their military to march into the teeth of the Russian war machine. To be sure, Putin and Russia were wrong to invade Ukraine. There is no question about that.
But once they did, who was in the wrong was never the larger point to some. At least for those who were viewing the carnage through a prism of how best to stop the useless slaughter of hundreds of thousands of young human beings. The most critically important set of eyes looking through that prism belongs to President Trump.
Seemingly, since day one, various world leaders, the self-proclaimed world “intelligentsia,” and the world media did go all in for Ukraine. Again, there is nothing wrong with stating your opposition against Russia in the strongest possible terms. But beyond that, what were their true motivations?
I offer up three distinct possible explanations. The first being to use the military – and the people – of Ukraine as cheap disposable pawns to be sacrificed in a proxy war seeking to weaken Putin and Russia. Next, the testing of various weapons systems on the battlefield while simultaneously enriching various defense contractors – and quite possibly -- some officials in Ukraine. Next, the simplest explanation of all: because much of the media, academia, and that “Intelligentsia” class truly viewed Putin – most especially because of the of the discredited “Russia Collusion” scheme run against Trump by operatives allied with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama – as an extension of the “hated” Trump so anything in their completely unhinged minds which would hurt Putin would negatively impact Trump as well.
But again, what about Ukraine and that beleaguered nation’s people? Whoops. We are never supposed to ask about that or the ever-escalating casualty counts, which collectively now top over one million human beings killed and wounded, while billions in infrastructure have been reduced to a fine gray powder.
And just who has been consistently crying out about those tragic and completely preventable deaths and pulverized buildings? President Trump. Since the very beginning of the war.
But more than being upset about the killings of men, women, and children in the war, President Trump dared to speak out against what others were deliberately trying to sweep under the rug. That being the growing specter of World War III.
Three years ago, during an appearance on 77 WABC radio, former President Donald J. Trump was asked by host John Catsimatidis what things “keep you up at night.” President Trump immediately answered: “I think more than anything else, I think we could end up in World War III, and it could be all of the horrible things that took place in Ukraine,”
Another of those many warnings came in March of 2023 on his Truth Social site, when President Trump rhetorically screamed out: “This is the most dangerous time in our country's history. World War III is looming, like never before, in the very dark and murky background. “Leadership” is solely responsible for this unprecedented danger to the USA and the World. HOPELESS JOE BIDEN IS LEADING US INTO OBLIVION!!!”
Once again, the “Peace World Leader” was desperately trying to save lives. Something he has been about since well before his first presidency.
For that reason and more, it is no surprise that a recent InsiderAdvantage poll showed Trump’s popularity numbers surging after his meeting with Putin in Alaska. While various neocons, “experts”, and pundits may be in favor of “forever wars,” the people of the world want peace.
And those people know that President Trump stands with them.
