The Case for Trump 2024: Ukraine

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Obviously, I have changed my mind about Donald Trump since 2020.

The outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February 2022 was a key moment in my U turn on the Trump Question. I first broke with Trump when he launched missile strikes on Syria in April 2017. The failure of Trump to withdraw American troops from the Middle East was a major reason why I soured on him. Russia policy and Europe in general did not figure into my decision to sit out the 2020 election.

Europe was relatively quiet during Trump’s presidency. He bowed to pressure from Senate Republicans and sent some Javelins to Ukraine only to get impeached over how he handled a phone call with Zelensky by House Democrats. He presided over the expansion of NATO to include Montenegro. Trump imposed sanctions on Russia and irritated European leaders, but otherwise nothing much happened.

It took Joe Biden’s foreign policy team, however, a little over a year to incite the most devastating land war seen in Europe since World War II. Hundreds of thousands of young men on both sides are now dead. $175 billion has been spent by the United States alone on this which has become a bottomless pit of military spending. Joe Biden’s foreign policy of cancelling Russia has severely aggravated inflation. Ukraine has been so bad that it has made Trump’s foreign policy record look better in retrospect. Democrats are also 100% united behind owning Putin and ensuring that this war goes on for as long as possible.

If there is an off ramp in Ukraine, it runs through Donald Trump and growing opposition to funding the war among House and Senate Republicans. While we have lost every battle in Congress to defund the war, Joe Biden has been the president and strongly supports Ukraine funding. In both Congress and the White House, there would be far more pressure on Trump to end the war because it is a divisive issue. In contrast, a victory for Kamala Harris will be interpreted as a clear mandate to continue the war.

The war in Ukraine caused me to pause and consider the possibility that I had been so blinded with rage at Trump over his various failures and setbacks that I had downplayed the potential damage that a Joe Biden presidency could unleash on the world. Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria were relatively quiet in the last years of the Trump presidency. The bloodbath in Ukraine that Biden has presided over put that tarmac that Trump bombed in Syria in 2017 in perspective. It was like comparing mountains to molehills.

As usual, the point of this article is to explain my own thinking because otherwise you would not understand the shifts in my position. I am not telling you to vote for Donald Trump. You are capable of making your own decisions. This is my attempt to flesh out my own inner monologue.

1. The Right finally moves on from Trump in 2028

2. The Alt-Right has terrible political instincts

3. Joe Biden has been a sedative as president

4. Activist brain blinds us and creates prejudice against conservative normies

5. Trump is the leader because he is the best of the Republicans

6. “Worse is better” is a cope and was tried in 2020 and maintains the status quo

7. Voting is not a sacrament. Few know this

8. Voting is not going to change anything about Zionism in the next four years

9. Activists have the chance to ride the Trump wave without making the same mistakes

10. Activists are running out of material because the Overton Window has shifted so much

11. Donald Trump is a hunted dog who has been backed into a corner

12. Donald Trump is a divider, not a uniter and his legacy will ultimately be useful for us

13. Winning is still better than losing at baseline

14. The Left is still the enemy and wants to take away our freedoms

15. The cause of anti-Zionism depends on internet free speech

16. Donald Trump is reviled by our elites because he is an obstacle to their agenda

17. Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointments have been improving his legacy

18. The war in Ukraine showed that Biden is worse on foreign policy than Trump
