Former President Donald Trump, who is running for re-election in 2024, on Thursday released a video statement calling for “peace without delay” in Ukraine and for ending the “entire globalist Neo-Con establishment.”
“Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war. We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to IMMEDIATELY have a total cessation of hostilities. All shooting has to stop. This is the central issue. We need PEACE without delay,” he said in the video, according to a transcript.
#AGENDA47: President Trump on the difference between the globalist establishment class, and those who are truly committed to stopping the Ukraine war and dismantling the entire neo-con nation-building industrial complex in Washington.

His remarks expanded on those he recently gave to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who posed six questions about Ukraine to the top declared and potential Republican 2024 presidential contenders.
In the video, Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s leadership, saying, “We have never been closer to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden.”
“A global conflict between nuclear-armed powers would mean death and destruction on a scale unmatched in human history. It would be nuclear Armageddon. NOTHING is more important than avoiding that nightmare. We will avoid it. But we need new leadership,” he said.
Trump also called for the dismantlement of the “entire globalist Neo-Con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad, while they turn us into a third-world country and a third-world dictatorship right here at home.”
“The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all the rest need to be completely overhauled and

Trump also called for “fundamentally reevaluating NATO’s purpose and NATO’s mission.”
He said, responding to some of the criticism of his recent Ukraine comments, that Russia is not the greatest threat to Western Civilization:
It’s probably, more than anything else, ourselves and some of the horrible, U.S.A. hating people that represent us. It’s the abolition of our national borders. It’s the failure to police our own cities. It’s the destruction of the rule of law from within. It’s the collapse of the nuclear family and fertility rates, like nobody can believe is happening. It’s the Marxists who would have us become a Godless nation worshipping at the altar of race, and gender, and environment. And it’s the globalist class that has made us totally dependent on China and other foreign countries that basically hate us.
He ended by calling for “evicting the sick and corrupt establishment.”
“These globalists want to squander all of America’s strength, blood and treasure, chasing monsters and phantoms overseas—while keeping us distracted from the havoc they’re creating right here at home. These forces are doing more damage to America than Russia and China could ever have dreamed. Evicting the sick and corrupt establishment is the monumental task for the next president. And I’m the only one who can do it. I’m the only one that can get the job done. I know exactly what has to be done,” he said.
Yay!! We have far too many problems at home and a world war 3 won’t fix any of them.
RE: Trump Calls for ‘Peace Without Delay’ in Ukraine,
Just curious... what are Trump’s plans to end the war in Ukraine?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Music to my ears but if they don’t attack mail in ballots we lose again
Peace will come instantly in Ukraine when Biden stops borrowing money to send to Ukraine.
STOP FUNDING THE WAR WILL STOP IT INSTANTLY.
RE: Well that would be a good strategy, let everyone know your plans ahead of time, right?
Easier said than done.
Trump annoys me with the uncalled-for jabs at DeSantis, but then he comes out and says things like this, making me want to go vote for him right now. *This* is the leadership we need.
what are Trump’s plans to end the war in Ukraine?

Seems he would just end the war in place from previous comments he made. To the delight of the Russians and Putin, and of course the FR trolls. This setting the stage for the next Russian invasion of Ukraine or elsewhere.
There does not need to be a plan for the US to end the war in Ukraine. We are not military participants. Just simply withdraw aid of all sorts, money, material and training as well is intelligence.
It’s a European war, Ukraine is not a NATO member so no treaties would be broken. Let the damn Euro’s fight their own war.
Just simply pull our resources back to tend to the southern border issue.
It is very strange to make these sweeping statements and offer no details behind them.
Republican voters like peace through strength. Letting Putin do whatever he wants does not sound like strength.
I think Trump is better than DeSantis, but this comment is somewhat concerning. I think most people are fine with continuing to sell arms to Ukraine but not sending troops. Seems easy enough and it’s not going to war with Russia.
I am a big Trump supporter, FTR. And we do need leadership, but this is a lot like building the wall and making Mexico pay for it. It is a tough row to hoe, not as simple as talking abut it.
No, that will only move the violence to resistance against Russian occupation and subjugation. Peace will come when the Russians go home.
Ukraines population has never been at peace.....if they’re not in conflict with Russia they are with each other.
Right now WE are paying Ukraine pensions. Ukraine First makes no sense.
That is true of the whole world.
Good for him.
Pensions are apparently a small portion of Ukraine's chosen use of US humanitarian war assistance. I doubt anyone's mind about out part in this conflict would hinge on that issue.
