President Trump is showing the world what real leadership looks like. While previous presidents failed to bring peace to Ukraine, Trump is using smart strategy to end this costly war. KT McFarland, his former security advisor, explains how Trump tries different plans until he gets results.
First, Trump tried using his famous deal-making skills to bring both sides to the table. This worked with Ukraine’s president Zelensky, who agreed to negotiate after Trump made it clear America wouldn’t keep sending endless money. But Putin kept fighting and attacking civilians even after saying he wanted peace.
Now Trump is moving to his backup plan by meeting Putin face-to-face in Alaska. McFarland says Trump wants to look Putin in the eye and see if Russia really wants peace or just wants to keep this war going forever. This is the kind of strong leadership America has been missing.
If Putin still refuses to negotiate in good faith, Trump has another plan ready. He can crush Russia’s economy by cutting off countries that still buy Russian oil and gas. These nations would have to choose between Russian energy or access to America’s huge market.
Trump understands something the Washington establishment doesn’t get. He wants to end this war without pushing Russia straight into China’s arms. That would create an even bigger threat to America down the road.
The smart move is getting Russia away from China, not closer to it. Trump thinks long-term while career politicians only think about their next election. This is why voters chose Trump to clean up the foreign policy mess left by weak leaders.
McFarland has worked with four different presidents and says Trump is totally different. He gets an idea for what he wants to achieve and keeps trying new approaches until something works. Most politicians give up after their first plan fails.
America is tired of endless wars that drain our money and get nowhere. Trump promised to end conflicts and bring peace, and he’s doing exactly that. His flexible approach shows why successful businessmen make better presidents than career politicians who only know how to spend taxpayer money.
