Donald Trump stands at history’s helm, not as a referee doling out penalties, but as a pragmatist staring down a war that’s gutted Ukraine and tested Russia’s resolve—all while the corrupt feast on the wreckage. His recent threat of sanctions against Russia—banking restrictions, tariffs, an oil stranglehold—seems to clash with his words to Zelensky: “I’m not taking sides; I want peace.” But look closer, and the clash unravels into clarity. His job isn’t to punish Russia for beating the hell out of Ukraine—Ukraine’s fate is their own damn call. Sanctions aren’t about picking a villain; they’re a tool to force an end. Yet here’s the warning, plain as day: don’t do it, Trump. Don’t sanction Russia for doing what their position demands. They’re the rational ones here, pressing forward with a dagger to Kyiv’s heart because Ukraine’s refused to fold. The dictate lies in Zelensky’s hands—peace or ruin—not America’s.  

Trump’s no fool. He’s called Zelensky a dictator, a man too dug in, too chained to Western whispers, to see reality. He’s nodded to Russia’s readiness to deal, a man who gets that history, not the shrieking news cycle, sets the stage. Ukraine’s laundry list—corruption oozing from every pore, Nazi symbols paraded like medals, anti-Semitic stains on their state’s soul—doesn’t make them the martyr NATO’s cheerleaders claim. The Azov Battalion’s swastikas, the oligarchs’ billions, the fascist flex: these aren’t rumors, they’re facts. Russia’s advance isn’t some unhinged rampage—it’s calculated, a response to a neighbor who’s played every card wrong. Trump knows this. He’s not here to cry foul; he’s here to end the game.  

Today, March 08, 2025, the headlines scream louder: Trump’s threatened to pull the U.S. from NATO, a bombshell dropped on the alliance’s war-hungry heads. “If you don’t pay, we’re out,” he’s said, eyeing Europe’s freeloading and NATO’s obsession with Ukraine’s lost cause. It’s no bluff—it’s a guillotine over the war machine’s neck. He’s already slashed aid, cut the intel drip to Kyiv—why? Because Ukraine’s “hard to deal with,” clinging to a fight they can’t win. The EU’s in their ear, NATO’s in their blood, both hooked on conflict’s chaos. NATO doesn’t survive without war; Trump sees it, and he’s ready to let it choke. Neutrality isn’t just a stance—it’s a lifeline. Russia’s hammering Ukraine not out of madness but necessity, and Kyiv’s collapse isn’t ours to prop up.  

War’s cost is brutal: Ukraine’s cities flattened, boys yanked from homes, foreign fighters propping up a corpse of a regime. Russia pays too—lives, resources, patience—but they’re not the ones begging for handouts. Victory’s spoils go to the steady, and Ukraine’s been unsteady since day one. Surrender or annihilation—that’s their choice, not Trump’s to dictate. The news, those crazy side-takers, howl about “Russia’s aggression” or “Ukraine’s grit”—fuck ‘em. It’s noise, not truth. Trump’s not here to cheer or jeer; he’s here to cut the cord. The secret ass-lickers around him, the war-profit vultures drooling over Ukraine’s kickbacks, don’t get it. They love the money schemes, not America’s soul.  

As peacemaker, Trump’s role is to stand apart. No side-taking, no platitudes for the naive. Sanctions? Drop the idea—they’d only muddle the message. Russia’s not the problem; they’re playing their hand, and it’s a strong one. Ukraine’s getting crushed because they’ve misread the table, not because America failed to stack the deck. NATO’s threats, Europe’s guilt trips—let them squirm. Trump’s strength is in withdrawal: pull the aid, pull the troops, pull the U.S. from NATO’s leash if they won’t step up. Neutrality isn’t weakness; it’s the only play that keeps us clean. The cost of war isn’t just Ukraine’s ruin or Russia’s burden—it’s America’s dignity, lost to a fight we don’t own.  

Advice to Trump: hold fast. Don’t listen to the supporters bleating “Ukraine’s beaten because…”—that’s Kyiv’s burden, not yours. Don’t sanction Russia for winning; they’re not the ones begging for peace. Zelensky’s got the keys—let him turn them or watch his house burn. The news will rage, the warmongers will wail, but reason cuts deeper. Peace comes when the weak yield or break, and America’s job is to watch, not bleed. You’re the peacemaker, not the punisher. Act like it.
