Is Trump an Imperialist dictator?

[MNW67]

Oil price will be his main weapon he he goes down the sanctions route, secondary is his ability to get people making moves and talking, wasn't Zelensky talking either today or yesterday about a 'land swap' for a peace agreement.
It will happen, both Russia and Ukraine need a 'get out', Trump will make that happen.

Unless of course you think the 'imaginary EU army' will arrive and save the day, or the 'Northern Ireland 1st Battalion Wetherspoons Reserves'.

So all he is doing really is throwing Ukraine under the bus?

An article explaining Trump's options for sanctions against Russia. The problem seems to be that they will lead to a spike in the price of oil.

How Trump Could Put Tighter Screws on Moscow

U.S. and European sanctions are already unprecedented, but there is plenty the new administration can still do to squeeze Russia’s earnings.

Trump could make the same mistake the EU made.
Trying to force down oil prices down artificially could affect the American oil industry, extraction costs for American oil are among the highest in the world.

The cheapest oil to supply – at an average breakeven price of US $29 per barrel – is onshore Middle East, which is primarily Saudi Arabia (in royal blue). The most expensive is Canada’s oil sands at an average breakeven price of US $74 per barrel (in purple). Next to oil sands is US shale oil (in red) at US $62 breakeven – expensive to produce because of its need for multistage hydraulic fracturing

I know, oil prices are already quite low and there's a glut in supply. Drill baby drill is unlikely to happen for a while.

In the last 100 years Russia has been one of the most sanctioned countries in the world, apart from a brief respite in WW2.

The Russophobes in America and Europe have been reassuring us that it is only a matter of time before Russia falls apart.
It has got to the point where sanctions are actually self defeating, if the screw is turned any tighter it could backfire and damage the global economy.

It must be clear by now that Russia can survive without any economic interaction with Europe or America, due to hostility from the EU , Russia has been forced to pivot to the east, and is now in China's sphere of influence, both countries are covering each others backs.

With a 4000km border between China and Russia, the Russians can supply China with all the oil and gas it needs , which would make any attempt by America or Europeans to blockade China in any future conflict unsuccessful.

Just like in WW2 , who Russia allies with will be decisive on the outcome.

thats bolox

the Ukraine war has run out of steam, the Russian economy is suffering and Putin wants an off ramp

the war will reach a ceasefire soon, Trump being president makes no difference

secondary is his ability to get people making moves and talking

keep drinking the Koolaid

Trump continues to get stuff done. The recent release of innocent American Marc Fogel by Russia, as Marc himself said 'the hero in all this is Donald Trump.'

Puts his citizens first

That's Trump. Other leaders should take note!

Puts his citizens first

Ive provided numerous posts responding to your claim that proves otherwise

Please can you provide evidence how Trump puts his citizens first as his executive orders have done exactly the opposite

Sure ...

EVERYTHING HE DOES

So you can’t actually provide a single example of a Trump policy that is going to benefit citizens.

Except the one he raped of course.

Would you care to show us the 'hostility' shown by the EU that you claim?

Has the EU as an organisation ever taken up arms against/invaded another sovereign nation other than in a peace keeping operation?

I'm not going to list stuff to keep your face straight. Every single policy the Trump administration is taking forward will benefit American citizens. Take your pick

Take your pick

I’ll pick inflation and groceries prices for starters.

Wow that's some claim.

Time will tell.

I wouldn't put money on your claims
