Former president Donald #Trump said that he could “guarantee” he would end the war in #Ukraine “immediately.” The #Republican 2024 presidential candidate added that he wouldn’t “reveal now” exactly how he intends to accomplish that.
Trump said:
“The saddest part about the war is that this is a war that should have never happened. So now it happened. Now you have to get people in a room, you have to knock heads, and get it done. That would mean saying things to #Putin and saying things to #Zelenskyy that they’re not going to want to hear, and getting them into a room, and getting it done.”
Trump’s campaign pledge may well be sincere, but we wonder: if #peace between #Russia and #Ukraine is urgent (and we think it is), why wait until after the 2024 election — still almost two years away?
Why isn’t Trump traveling to #Ukraine and #Russia and pursuing negotiations NOW?
We explore that question, as well as Trump’s chances of re-election, and the realistic possibilities of his ability to pursue a path of peace when the entire Military-Industrial-Complex wants #WWIII.
We look at the historical examples of #FDR, #JFK, #Nixon and #Reagan — what happens to presidents who become inconvenient, or even hostile, to the interests of the permanent government, and the CIA?
Trump certainly has his finger on the pulse of the people when it comes to the war in #Ukraine. According to the most recent polls, a strong majority of Americans don’t want the USA involved in this war at all.
Today, 40% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say we are providing too much aid to Ukraine, up from 32% in the fall and much higher than the 9% who held this view in March of last year.
Still, only 15% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents currently say this, up from 5% last March. About six-in-ten Democrats either say the U.S. is providing about the right amount of support to Ukraine (40%) or that the U.S. is not providing enough support (23%), according to a January 2023 Pew poll.
According to Morning Consult’s U.S. Foreign Policy Tracker Index from January of 2023, nearly 40% of voters favor isolationism, while 30% want stability, and 17% want engagement. Among Democrats, 33% favor isolationism, 33% want stability, and 20% want engagement. Among Republicans, 45% favor isolationism, 28% want stability, and 15% want engagement. While these findings do indicate a divide between the parties on the issue, in both cases isolationism was the top answer or tied for the top answer. Neither side wants to be the world’s police.
Our Maverick News panel tonight is: co-hosts Rick Walker, a right-leaning Independent, Lori Spencer, a left-leaning #libertarian, Tyler McConnell, a school teacher and self-described Christian #Conservative #Communist, and Caleb Maupin, reporter for RT television and co-founder of the Center for Political Innovation, a #progressive #socialist education organization. Truly a group of Strange Bedfellows!
With this wide spectrum of viewpoints, we find in this conversation that we have a surprising number of common ground issues in common — most importantly, stopping World War III.
