“MASSIVE ATTACK ON RUSSIA AND CRIMEA”
Sounds like Trump’s approach for now, after talking with the German Chancellor, is to let Ukraine do their worst to Russia (perhaps Ops and Targets that had previously been restricted), to incentivize Russia to seek peace. The big Stick of Bone-Crushing Sanctions remains waiting in the wings, if needed.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 5 that it might be best not to intervene in Russia’s war against Ukraine for now, speaking during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House...
...”Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy,” Trump said. “They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.”
Trump said he used the same comparison during a 75-minute call with Russian President Vladimir Putin the day before, casting himself not as a direct participant but as a referee observing the conflict.
“You see it in hockey. You see it in sports. The referees let them go for a couple of seconds,” he said. “Let them go for a little while before you pull them apart.”
Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose sanctions on Russia if he does not see progress in peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow. While he did not name a specific date, he added, “Yes, it’s in my brain the deadline.””
