Quite simply, the Israel lobby in the US is more powerful than the President as it controls both sides of both houses in Congress with a firm grip, plus all presidential candidates.

There is a pretty easy explanation for his "humanitarian" stance on the Ukraine war. He knows the West is being/has been/will be decisively beaten by Russia and wants to get out quick. As Jeff Rich so aptly puts it:

"...Fundamentally, the USA has some negotiation tactics to end the war. It has no strategy to build the peace. Trump has redefined American war aims. To his credit, he may save many lives and prevent a catastrophic escalation. But his aims are short-term and selfish. Get the loot. Avoid the blame. Move on to the war with China. Pretend to be a Great Statesman who can perform the Kissinger flip. He remains as madly devoted to American Primacy as previous American leaders. He acknowledges multipolarity and no longer wants the cares of a sole superpower, with all that global responsibility. He has reinterpreted primacy as the USA being the mountain in a triad of great powers."

Thanks for comparing and contrasting these two operations - Ukraine and Palestine. And why do the ideologically-aligned so-called West always take the path of war - alliances, WMD shareholders? A hyped-up sense of superiority over others - or is it the bribery and blackmail? Or a combination of all these things?

Ah ha, finally we are seeing the chinks, cracks and whitewash of his (too) shiny white teeth.

He is a selfish bloody hypocrite.

He , as opposed to the rest of the otherwise beautiful American people, will only pretend to provide international aid if he gets something out of the deal. HE is the fake news.

Let’s see what he offers when the Chinese sail a few more ships on sightseeing cruises around the Great Land of Oz, confirming tracks for their submarines around the bottom of our continent into the Indian Ocean. Chinese submarines will be able to fast track their way as and when they like.

The absurdity of US-trump on Ukraine: It’s always has been US war against Russia no matter how much US tries to dress it up as its Ukraine, and lost. Now they are using Ukraine as the front for starting the war. If US has not provoked the war, this will not happen; together with the UK, they derailed the 2022 Istanbul peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, an hour before the signing, by the Britis Boris Johnson. US lost and now they tried to falsely deflect that as Ukraine’s war and turn the war narrative to distract their losing of the war and thousands of innocent Ukrainians lives forced to die on behalf of US, UK and EU war.

I do recall his 1st term. Jared is a Zionist. None of them have any ethics. Plus, Miriam Adelson.

I believe a sizable number of NATO advisers are trapped in Kursk. Their presence may have precipitated Trump's plea. Also, the Ukraine/US/Europe triad is verging on total collapse. It is DESPERATE for respite. Trump is buying time.

We know Trump and his friends and his base too well to overlook the (perceived) difference in skin color between Ukrainians and Palestinians.

The problem is that Russia has been far too soft.

A lead pipe to the face, over and over. Thst is the language that the West understands.

Very well stated, I pray the majority of people in the west will begin to speak out against global genocide and turn off the mockingbird lies.
