Broken Promise: Trump to Send Lethal Weapons to Ukraine in Fight against Russia
By Julio
Severo
The
Trump administration has approved a plan to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine,
a move that deepens America’s involvement in the military conflict and may further
strain relations with Russia, according to an Associated Press report of
December 23, 2017. The Russian government did not respond in a positive tone.

Why
does Trump want to arm Ukraine against Russia?
The
Obama administration, with the assistance of neocons, ignited the conflict in
Ukraine, and Trump’s promise in his 2016 campaign was not to support Ukraine,
but Russia, especially considering that, technically, Russia is well-equipped
to respond to Ukrainian escalation with a stronger answer.
While
Trump had praised Russia in 2016 and his advisers were supporting pro-Russian
forces in Ukraine,
neocons have openly praised the Ukrainian revolution as the best democratic example
against dictatorship. The Ukrainian revolution was the biggest Soros
revolution, massively funded by him.
John
McCain and other neocons want Ukraine in NATO and are willing to go to war over
it. In contrast, Trump had shown no willingness to follow neocon passions for
war in Ukraine against Russia.
On
September 2016, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko invited Trump for a meeting, but, according to DailyMail, “the
Ukrainian government says the Republican candidate blew them off.”
Yet,
Hillary Clinton met Poroshenko and promised him that she would stand with
Ukraine against “Russian aggression.”
While
neocons want Ukraine in NATO’s orbit and they are using the Ukrainian situation
to strengthen NATO, Trump had again been in conflict with
their interests.
Yet, now as president Trump has abandoned his anti-neocon promises and followed
Hillary’s bad example.
Sending
lethal weapons to Ukraine was Hillary’s original proposal. McCain and other
neocons also want to arm Ukraine. In fact, Kurt Volker,
the U.S. special representative for Ukraine negotiations, is a “former staffer
of Sen. McCain… and executive director of the neocon McCain Institute.” Volker
is the architect of the new arms package from Trump to Ukraine.
McCain is one of the most rabid
neocons in the U.S. Congress.
Volker envisions a deepening U.S.
involvement in a Ukrainian civil war that was initiated by Obama, Soros and
neocons.
Sending
lethal weapons to Ukraine creates the troubling possibility that American arms
could kill Russian soldiers, a situation that could thrust the two
nuclear-armed nations closer to direct confrontation.
It is
an unnecessary and stupid military escalation, under Trump, of a conflict
initiated by Obama, McCain and neocons. Besides, Ukraine has nothing to do with
a very far-away America. What if Russia got involved in Mexico and armed
Mexicans against the U.S.? Would America accept it in a positive tone?
Catholic
conservative Patrick J. Buchanan has asked an important question: Has Trump
capitulated to the neocons? This capitulation seems to have become easier
after the fall of his anti-neocon advisers hinders. Their fall hindered Trump
from pursuing focus of partnership with Russia against Islamic
terror.
In
the last years, Europe has been invaded by Islamic barbaric hordes, and Obama
and NATO did nothing, militarily or otherwise, to protect Europe from invasion.
The most urgent need for America is to help Europe against Islamic hordes. Yet,
NATO, which was created by America to protect Europe, has done absolutely
nothing to protect Europe against Islamic hordes. America under Obama did
nothing. And America under Trump has done nothing.
In 2016, Trump promised an alliance
with Russia against Islamic terror, but as president his
administration has surpassed all past Democratic and Republican administration
in supporting and arming Saudi Arabia, the top
sponsor of Islamic terrorism around the world.
In his first international trip, Trump
gave all preference to the Saudis, by visiting first Saudi Arabia, and leaving
Israel in second place.
Trump
made a US$ 110 billion sale of military
equipment to Saudi Arabia
— which the White House said that it was the “largest single arms deal in U.S.
history.”
What
has Trump got in return? When the United Nations condemned Trump for
his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Saudi Arabia, which is a
neighbor of Israel and a close U.S. ally, voted against Trump.
And,
it should never be forgotten, most Islamic terrorists behind 9/11 were Saudi.
Even so, the U.S., under Bush, Obama and Trump, has flattered and armed the
Saudis.
In
contrast, the U.S., under Bush, Obama and Trump, has incessantly provoked
Russia, which is much more conservative today. It is a provocation exclusively to please
neocons.
As a conservative evangelical (conservative
evangelicals were Trump’s main voting base),
I support Trump in his pro-Israel decisions and in his pro-family and pro-life
stances. But I cannot support him for breaking his 2016 promises on Russia and
Ukraine. I cannot support him for amplifying the constant neocon aggression
against Russia. I
am loyal to Trump’s 2016 anti-neocon model.
