Jeg undres hvordan kan USA & Trump støtte slyngel staten Rusland, som for tre år siden overfaldt Ukraine med tab af 700.000 Russiske soldater og Ukraine med tab af 300.000 soldater, som nu er døde det er uforståeligt for os i Danmark der har støttet USA side 1945 jeg vedhæfter artikel fra i dag:
Mødet mellem Trump og Zelenskyj var fra begyndelsen et mærkeligt fantasifoster. En fjern drøm om nære relationer mellem Kyiv og Washington, der ikke eksisterer længere. Men det er ikke kun Trump, der trækker Ukraine væk fra USA. Efter mødet står det klart, at pilen også peger på en anden. De rystende billeder fra Det Ovale Kontor går verden rundt. Aldrig er et møde gået så galt – på det absolut mest kritiske tidspunkt for præsident Zelenskyj. Det begyndte ellers temmelig fredsommeligt, og man troede, at man skulle se et relativt fredeligt møde mellem de to præsidenter. Man bliver også nødt til at erkende, at det fra begyndelsen var en underlig størrelse. Siden Trumps indsættelse 20. januar er USA rykket væk fra Kyiv og tættere på Moska – og USAs præsident har kritiseret Zelenskyj og fremhævet Putin. Det er blevet beskrevet som et totalt renset for den vestlige, rets baserede verdensorden, hvor USA og Europa har stået sammen mod verdens autokratier. Ikke længere. Vi så allerede, da USA forleden stemte med Rusland i FN. Vi ved, at Trump mener, at NATO også bærer en del af skylden for russisk aggression. Og vi læste Trumps opslag på det sociale medie Truth, hvor han kaldte Zelenskyj for diktator. Så hvad havde man egentlig forventet af dette mystiske besøg mellem Trump og Zelenskyj, hvor de skulle underskrive en aftale om Ukraines mineraler – uden amerikanske sikkerhedsgarantier? Håbet fra Zelenskyjs side var selvfølgelig, at enhver aftale med USA var en god idé; det kunne måske i det mindste give en falsk tryghed om, at vennerne på anden side af Atlanterhavet stadig var der. Det er de ikke. Donald Trump virkede tilfreds med, at det kontroversielle møde blev tv-transmitteret fra Det Ovale Kontor. Trump ser Zelenskyj som en Biden-allieret Det er det, der står klart efter dagens møde, hvor Trump og J.D. Vance stemplede Zelenskyj som en utaknemmelig præsident, der ikke respekterer USA. Det handler om mange ting. Det er alt fra den gamle bagage: 1. Trump synes at være blevet påvirket til at mene, at NATO bærer en del af skylden for Putins krig. At russerne blev trængt op i en krog, da den transatlantiske alliance luftede ideen om ukrainsk medlemskab i slutningen af 2000erne. 2. Trumps famøse opkald til Zelenskyj, hvor han ledte efter snavs på Biden inden præsidentvalget i 2020. Det ledte til den første rigsretssag mod Trump. 3. Zelenskyjs tætte bånd med Biden-administrationen. Lad os blive ved det sidste punkt. For vicepræsident Vance brugte netop også denne pointe under det katastrofale besøg i Det Ovale Kontor. Det står klart, at Trump og Vance er rasende over Zelenskyjs besøg på en våbenfabrik under valgkampen i efteråret i svingstaten Pennsylvania. Det er sådan set blevet et stort problem for Zelenskyj, at Trump og Vance oplever ham som en allieret af den tidligere administration og Demokraterne, netop fordi Biden-regeringen postede så mange penge i krigen. Og Trump og Vance er i gang med at ændre alt i Washington, og det betyder også, at forholdet til Ukraine ryger. Netop J.D. Vance spiller en hovedrolle i forhold til Ukraine-spørgsmålet i USA. Det så vi allerede under sikkerhedskonferencen i München, hvor USAs vicepræsident rystede de europæiske allierede. Vance har haft anti-ukrainske holdninger længe og har været en stor kritiker af USAs engagement i krigen. »Jeg er faktisk ligeglad med, hvad der sker i Ukraine,« sagde Vance i 2022. Det er forståeligt, at mange i Danmark er forundrede over USA's nuværende holdning til Rusland og Ukraine, Især i lyset af Danmarks mangeårige støtte til USA siden 1945. Den seneste udvikling i forholdet mellem USA og Ukraine har været præget af spændinger og ændringer i diplomatiske forbindelser. For nylig fandt der et ophedet møde sted i Det Hvide Hus mellem præsident Donald Trump og Ukraines præsident Volodymyr Zelenskyj. Under mødet opstod der en offentlig skænderi mellem de to ledere angående krigen med Rusland, Hvilket har efterladt Ukraine i en sårbar position. Trump kritiserede Zelenskyj for manglende respekt og truede med at trække amerikansk støtte tilbage, Mens Zelenskyj insisterede på ingen kompromiser over for Rusland. Dette resulterede i, at Zelenskyj forlod mødet tidligt uden at underskrive en vigtig aftale om naturressourcer. Citat fra REUTERS.COM Desuden har Trump offentligt kaldt Zelenskyj for en "diktator" og beskyldt ham for ikke at afholde valg, hvilket yderligere har forværret forholdet mellem de to nationer. Denne udtalelse kom efter et møde mellem USA's og Ruslands udenrigsministre, hvor Ukraine ikke var repræsenteret. Citat fra AVISEN.DK Trump har også truet Rusland med sanktioner, hvis præsident Vladimir Putin ikke indgår i forhandlinger om en fredsaftale med Ukraine. I et opslag på Truth Social udtrykte Trump, at han ikke ønsker at skade Rusland, men at krigen skal stoppe. Citat fra UPDAY.COM Disse handlinger og udtalelser indikerer en markant ændring i USA's udenrigspolitik under Trumps administration, Hvilket har skabt bekymring blandt europæiske allierede og rejst spørgsmål om USA's engagement i at støtte Ukraine mod russisk aggression.

I wonder how the USA & Trump can support the rogue state of Russia, which three years ago attacked Ukraine, resulting in the loss of 700,000 Russian soldiers and 300,000 Ukrainian soldiers, who are now dead. This is incomprehensible to us in Denmark, who have supported the USA since 1945. I am attaching an article from today:
The meeting between Trump and Zelensky was, from the beginning, a strange fantasy.
A distant dream of close relations between Kyiv and Washington, which no longer exist.
But it is not only Trump who is pulling Ukraine away from the USA. After the meeting, it became clear that another factor is also at play.
The shocking images from the Oval Office are spreading worldwide.
Never has a meeting gone so wrong—at the absolute most critical time for President Zelensky.
It actually started quite peacefully, and it seemed like it would be a relatively calm meeting between the two presidents.
But one must also acknowledge that from the beginning, it was an odd setup.
Since Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the USA has moved away from Kyiv and closer to Moscow—while the US president has criticized Zelensky and praised Putin.
It has been described as a complete departure from the Western, rule-based world order, where the USA and Europe have stood together against the world's autocracies.
Not anymore.
We already saw this when the USA recently voted alongside Russia at the UN.
We know that Trump believes NATO also bears some of the blame for Russian aggression. And we read Trump’s post on the social media platform Truth, where he called Zelensky a dictator.
So what was really expected from this mysterious meeting between Trump and Zelensky, where they were supposed to sign an agreement on Ukraine’s minerals—without American security guarantees?
Zelensky’s hope, of course, was that any agreement with the USA was a good idea; perhaps, at the very least, it could provide a false sense of security that friends across the Atlantic were still there.
They are not.
Donald Trump seemed pleased that the controversial meeting was broadcasted from the Oval Office.
Trump sees Zelensky as a Biden ally.
That is what became clear after today’s meeting, where Trump and J.D. Vance labeled Zelensky an ungrateful president who does not respect the USA.
This is about many things. It is everything from old baggage:
Trump appears to have been influenced into believing that NATO bears part of the blame for Putin’s war.
That the Russians were backed into a corner when the transatlantic alliance floated the idea of Ukrainian membership in the late 2000s.Trump’s infamous phone call to Zelensky, where he sought dirt on Biden before the 2020 presidential election.
This led to Trump’s first impeachment trial.Zelensky’s close ties with the Biden administration.
Let’s focus on the last point.
Vice President Vance also used this point during the catastrophic visit to the Oval Office.
It is clear that Trump and Vance are furious over Zelensky’s visit to a weapons factory during the election campaign last fall in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
This has become a significant problem for Zelensky, as Trump and Vance see him as an ally of the previous administration and the Democrats, especially since the Biden administration poured so much money into the war.
And Trump and Vance are in the process of changing everything in Washington, which also means that relations with Ukraine are being severed.
J.D. Vance plays a key role in the Ukraine issue in the USA.
We already saw this at the Munich Security Conference, where the US vice president shook European allies.
Vance has long held anti-Ukrainian views and has been a strong critic of US involvement in the war.
"I actually don’t care what happens in Ukraine," Vance said in 2022.
It is understandable that many in Denmark are puzzled by the USA’s current stance on Russia and Ukraine,
especially in light of Denmark’s longstanding support for the USA since 1945.
The recent developments in US-Ukraine relations have been marked by tensions and shifts in diplomatic ties.
Recently, a heated meeting took place at the White House between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
During the meeting, a public dispute arose between the two leaders regarding the war with Russia,
leaving Ukraine in a vulnerable position.
Trump criticized Zelensky for a lack of respect and threatened to withdraw US support,
while Zelensky insisted on no compromises with Russia.
As a result, Zelensky left the meeting early without signing an important agreement on natural resources.
(Quote from REUTERS.COM)
Furthermore, Trump has publicly called Zelensky a "dictator" and accused him of not holding elections, further worsening relations between the two nations.
This statement came after a meeting between the US and Russian foreign ministers, where Ukraine was not represented.
(Quote from AVISEN.DK)
Trump has also threatened Russia with sanctions if President Vladimir Putin does not engage in negotiations for a peace deal with Ukraine. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that he does not want to harm Russia but that the war must end.
(Quote from UPDAY.COM)
These actions and statements indicate a significant shift in US foreign policy under Trump’s administration,
raising concerns among European allies and prompting questions about the USA’s commitment to supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.
