Just for the sake of argument, if Trump's statements were meant to be not serious, meant to be be disregarded, disingenuous, just another example of Trump cleverly playing some kind of 3D chess game, .... tell that to those who take him seriously, and who will proceed to make important decisions and take actions, based on his comments.
What is gained by emboldening Zelensky, and Macron, who was sitting beside him, agreeing with every word he uttered? It's not Zelensky or Macron who will look like fools if/when Trump once again reverses his position. They trusted him. Who can forget that embarrassing meeting between Trump/Vance and the one with Zelensky in the Oval office, where Zelensky was humiliated in front of the whole world? Or Trump's summit with Putin, in Alaska, which was much celebrated, an apparent bromance in the making as Putin sat beside Trump in the Presidential bullet proof car?

It has all been reversed.
One has to ask, were these events and statements of policies previously planned and scheduled, but planned for a a surprise reversal? Or is the US foreign policy completely schizophrenic, without foundation or principle, with no firm position, trying this trick or the other, and back again?
What a way to run the world. |
