Donald Trump's Lack of Critical Thinking Skills with Respect to Russia and Ukraine

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Larry C. Johnson

I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I've always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that's proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia! Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don't like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy's, Putin's, and Biden's War, not "Trump's." I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.

Gee, why would Putin order massive strikes on Ukraine on May 24 and 25? "No reason whatsoever"? It appears that no one briefed Trump on what Ukraine did, starting May 19. Between May 19 and May 25, 2025, Ukraine conducted a significant escalation in its drone campaign against Russia, launching over 700 drones across various regions.

May 19–22: Russia reported intercepting at least 485 Ukrainian drones across 13 oblasts, including 63 targeting the Moscow region. (Business Insider)

May 23–25: Over a three-day period, Ukraine launched extensive drone attacks deep into Russian territory, disrupting civilian life and straining Russia's air defense systems. Russian authorities reported intercepting over 700 drones, including nearly 100 near Moscow, leading to closures of major airports and jamming of mobile internet across several regions. (The Washington Post)

Just imagine how Donald Trump would react if Mexican drug cartels launched 700 attack drones into the United States. We all know the answer… the US would be bombing Mexico as we speak. Trump's failure to acknowledge the precipitating actions of Ukraine is a reminder that this man is driven by emotion, not thought or reason. Trump's outburst, in my opinion, is a disgrace.

Russia's reaction to Trump's statement highlights the difference in the quality of leadership in Russia with the juvenile clown show in Washington, DC. Rather than attack Trump, the Russians played it cool. Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, made the following diplomatic comment:

Of course, the beginning of the negotiation process, for which the American side has made great efforts, is a very important achievement. We are truly grateful to the Americans and personally to President Trump for their assistance in organizing and launching this negotiation process.

Of course, this is a very important moment, which is connected with the emotional overload of absolutely everyone. At the same time, Putin makes those decisions that are necessary to ensure the security of our country.

Trump isn't this dumb. He is simply carrying out the same things that Biden had in mind. But he is doing it a different, more indirect way. 1) Russia's biggest problem is with the Eastward expansion of NATO. Trump is extending that expansion by interfering by attempting to negotiate. This is not an attempt to end the REAL war. It's an attempt to sneakily take Russia over. 2) If Trump really wanted to stop the war, he would stop giving Ukraine weapons and money, and he would 'order' NATO countries to do the same. If Ukraine stopped fighting, Russia would stop too, right where they are, without further expansion into Ukraine. 3) By Trump backing NATO behind the scenes, he is really provoking WW3. Why? Check Oreshnik, November 21, 2024. Russia didn't even have any explosives on that Oreshnik, but look at the damage it did in Dnipro. Putin is reading more Oreshniks which could easily be armed with nukes.
