ABC’s Martha Raddatz Cheers Against Trump’s Efforts To Achieve Peace In Ukraine
The Federalist ^ | 8/18/2025 | Brianna Lyman

Posted on 08/19/2025 6:51:45 AM PDT by simpson96

President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska in a historic attempt to end the more than two-year war between Ukraine and Russia. Since Russia’s 2022 invasion, tens of thousands have died, while millions have been displaced. The Alaska summit marked the first serious step toward direct negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.

But for ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and the rest of the propaganda press, a Trump-negotiated peace itself was a problem. Instead of acknowledging the significance of Trump’s diplomacy, Raddatz spent her Sunday segment disparaging the president for daring to treat Putin like a foreign leader who can choose to keep the war going rather than a pariah.

Raddatz opened her report by sneering at diplomatic courtesy:

Russia’s Vladimir Putin, responsible for invading Ukraine and the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians, given a red carpet arrival, a warm handshake and a ride in the presidential limousine to a closed door three-hour meeting with the whole world watching and waiting.

Notably, Raddatz apparently had no such objections (based on a cursory search of the web) to “warm” welcomes when then-President Joe Biden rolled out the red carpet for Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.

Raddatz then insisted that progress toward peace — which a sane world demands—is a triumph for Putin.(snip)

Raddatz later doubled down on her left-wing talking point, arguing that the existence of a meeting to pursue peace somehow measured as a “loss” for Trump. But that framing is as backward as it gets: If genuine negotiations could end the killing that is happening, that is a victory for everyone. To recast this meeting— and the potential end of a war—as a win for Putin is to suggest that peace itself is bad only because Trump is the one who made it possible.

She'll be forever remembered as crying on air when it became clear that Trump won the Presidency in 2016.

At least we know Raddatz isn’t a two face or else she wouldn’t be wearing the one she has. It’s painful to watch. It’s a miracle that she is still on the air.

It is however refreshing to find one Communist leader she doesn’t love.

Raddatz is just an old Leftist.

There is nothing new or interesting to be be learned from her.

Turn the phookin page already.

I am astonished, but not surprised by the left routing as hard as they can for the failure of President Trump‘s diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Margaret Brennan had her head handed to her by Marco Rubio (who has been a surprise too many) when she made the point on her show that the European leaders accompanying Zelensky we’re only there to keep Trump from “bullying” Zelenskyy into a deal. Marco Rubio pointed out to her how silly that was, because they had been invited by Trump.

This is nothing new, as he has displayed the requisite skills to make the left show their collective asses to the world.

It is disconcerting, however, that they don’t appear to understand this at all. It indicates a far deeper rot than many had previously suspected, though that moral rot has been well understood by many who frequent this website.

Does Martha’s agent kick the ABC rep in the teeth when negotiating a contract?
