Former Trumpโs security adviser, John Bolton said that Trumpโs approach to the war in Ukraine could result in significant concessions to Russia if he wins the upcoming election.
โItโs very bad news for Ukraine. Look, I think, Donald Trump doesn't have a philosophy, he doesn't do policy, he does deals, that's how he sees the world. And he said in his statement about the conversation with Zelenskyy:
โ I as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world, and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families.' "
"Now, I'm not a shrink. But I know the technical term for somebody who says 'I will bring peace to the world'. This is nuts. He has no idea how he's going to negotiate an end to this war, except, I think, that his affinity for vladimir putin will lead to concessions to the Russian side that are going to be devastating for Ukraine. So, I think this is a very dark moment."
"So, thatโs not just a dark moment. And itโs not only a dark moment for Ukraine, because we haven't come to their assistance out of the goodness of our hearts, out of an act of charity. We have been assisting Ukraine because it is in the core of American national security interest to defend against unprovoked aggression on the continent of Europe and to try to get peace and stability there that benefits us in innumerable ways."
"We're not doing this for Ukraine.
I think the way the Administration characterises it as a kind of esoteric fight about democracy is just wrong. This is about hardcore American interests that neither Donald Trump nor JD Vance apparently understand." he said.
