Did Trump Just Betray Ukraine? - Paul Warburg [View all]
Donald Trump's negotiations to end the war in Ukraine are unfolding in dramatic fashion - and not in the way many people had hoped. Trump has called president Zelenskyy of Ukraine a dictator, and told him to make a deal or to witness the destruction of his country. But does the United States actually have that much negotiating power?
From the United States offering a deal to Ukraine in exchange for rare earth metals, to Donald Trump talking to Vladimir Putin and Russia without Ukraine in the room, to Trump then turning back and trying to appear to be on Ukraine's side, to Trump now turning AGAIN to adopt Russian propaganda talking points, it's really a mess to look at. So what on earth is going on?
In this video, I look at all of the pieces carefully, including the individual psychology of players like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, to draw a logical conclusion about the current state of Ukraine negotiations, and where things will likely go from here.
