Why Donald Trump is primarily responsible for the Ukrainian war

There has been quite a bit of debate about who is responsible for the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Putin? No. Only a moron would claim that. Biden? Certainly a candidate, but not the best one -more on that later. Zelensky? Like his predecessor Poroshenko, a puppet not worth attention. But there is one man who tends to be missing from these debates, despite his prominence.

By far the most dramatically underrated culprit for the Ukrainian war is none other than the great heel of the American political arena, Donald J. Trump. Before the Trump administration, Putin was still very much willing and waiting to reach a compromise with the West that did not involve full-scale war in Ukraine. By the end of the Trump administration, that was obviously politically unviable. Putin, in probably the most embarrassing moment of his presidency, went so far as claiming that he would vote for Trump if he were an American. I do not believe he’d make such a cuck move again.

It was Trump, not Biden, who invited Montenegro and North Macedonia into NATO, thus totally encircling Serbia. It was Trump, not Biden, who first broke the dam of sending arms to Ukraine in December 2017. It was Trump, not Biden or Obama, who first sanctioned the Internet Research Agency (see also Trump’s treatment of Jeff Sessions) and who bears exclusive responsibility for the Russiagate narrative. It was Trump, not Biden or Obama, who signed into law the CAATSA, which made removal of sanctions on Russia impossible. It was Trump, not Biden or Obama, who closed all the American consulates in Russia. It was Trump, not Biden or Obama, who first blocked NordStream 2 from going forward, thus demonstrating Germany to be an American puppet state and that any future Republican president would do likewise. This list, of course, is just the tip of a giant iceberg of Trumpist Russia hostility. It was, thus, Trump, not Biden, who, by running as the most Russia-friendly serious GOP candidate and then proceeding to act as the most Russia-hawkish president of the 21st century, permanently solidified the caducean framework of the Democrats perpetrually and without dissent condemning Republicans for being communists or whatever and the Republicans being more hawkish on Russia than ever before -Trump, after all, presented the most dovish version of a GOP Russia policy, and any future GOP president would be guaranteed to be at least as hawkish.

Biden, despite his relentlessly Russophobic presidential campaign, actually did not turn out nearly as hawkish on Russia as he could have been. Though the USA continued to deliver military equipment to the Zelensky regime, very little of it was seen on the battlefield after February 23. The pace of sanctions following the election of Biden slowed down relative to the Trump presidency. The threat to NordStream 2 was removed. However, Biden’s hope that mere bribery (given the Dems’ 2024 loss and Republicans’ petroleum protectionism, obviously extremely temporary regardless) could prevent a Russian invasion was sorely mistaken (I do not buy the idea Washington wanted this war; Ukraine was a safe haven for American corruption that is effectively gone now). Biden continued relentlessly supporting the breakdown of electoral democracy in Ukraine and its replacement with a nationalist autocracy, and, though it would have been unlikely that Ukraine would have entered NATO during his term, at no point considered recognizing Crimea or even closing off the path to future Ukrainian NATO entry. Though Biden’s relative dovishness as opposed to Trump’s extreme hawkishness broadly contributed to Putin’s (rational and proven correct) calculation re: direct Western involvement in the Ukrainian fight, the fact is that the war in Ukraine was a response to Western hawkishness against Russia in regards to Ukraine, not any other country. Biden’s effective independence is also questionable, and, given his dovishness in practice relative to his campigning, this makes it unlikely he is the man most responsible for this war. Any other U.S. president would, after all, surely have been at least as hawkish as Biden. Within the expectable -indeed, probably even the realistic- limits of potential U.S. policymaking post-Trump, the point of no return in Ukraine, thus, was already past when Biden stepped into office.

Why isn’t Trump mentioned as being to blame for the Ukrainian crisis? Because Americans, with a couple of exceptions, disproportionately under the age of 30, are bloodthirsty monsters who believe everything they read and watch. They are, for the most part, cuck faggots who have, despite ceasing to talk about it, fully internalized the Russiagate narrative and view the lack of a Russian offensive during his term as a result of his completely imaginary dovishness.
