A lot of speculation why Trump is doing what he is. As I told @kyivindependent.com @chrisdyork.bsky.social on Thurs, there’s 3 options 1. Putting Europeans on notice (unlikely) 2. Splitting Russia from China (misguided) 3. Embracing the Dark side (nightmare). kyivindependent.com/how-ukraine-...

I think if one reads about the post WW2 activities of Russian assets such as Harry Dexter White, they were motivated to believe they could establish a 2 superpower supremacy Russia-USA, at the expense of the defeated powers, central Europe and Britain/France. TBH I think that's where we may be.

The result is similar in each scenario though. Free democracies need to build their defences without America, because the Yanks have decided to betray their friends. Even if - and this is unlikely now - democratic elections see Trump ejected in four years, the damage and unreliability remain.

4. Trump wants personal revenge on Zelenskyy for involvement in his first impeachment because he really is that petty / vengeful. (but I really hope it is one of your three)

4. Morons often prefer being 4ssholes because they don't have to deliver and build up something, just destroy. Exactly as their moron devotees do. That's also why fascism is so attractive for morons - no matter if left, right, islamist or evangelical.

I think intelligent people mistakenly attempt to find rationality with Trump where there's none to find, and that reality is much simpler. Trump admires Putin's strongman aura and how he takes what he wants. He resents Zelensky for obstructing and asking for help. What we observe follows naturally.

Trump is a Russian asset, has been since the 1980s. Can everyone please stop with the "What is he doing? clutch pearls!). He is dismantling the USA. Trump is delivering USSR active measures inside 🇺🇸. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Trump never pays his bills but as Putin’s 🇺🇸 protege he’s smart enough to keep his head & do his master’s bidding. He’s literally vomiting Kremlin propaganda & his mindless cult of misanthropes cheer him on oblivious. Good 🍀 America! We’ll focus on keeping democracy alive while 🇷🇺 tears you apart.

4. He is old, in ill-health, was always uninterested and uninformed and has severe personality disorder(s), thus completely unfit to serve.

Mary Torgersen 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @marytorgersen.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

It’s 3! Almost certainly. He’s been fixated on Putin for decades, uncharacteristically deferential. He also seeks revenge on Zelenskyy, from whom he couldn’t extort a corrupt “dirt on Biden” deal in 2019, and who “upstaged” him at the Notre Dame ceremony last year, where he got a standing ovation.

Alex @alessio.re · 21/02/2025

There’s always option 4, though: he’s paid to do it. Do you consider that impossible? I’m not convinced there’s necessarily a deeper strategy here, considering he’s completely ignoring the advice of all his diplomats.

You don't need to overcomplicate. Trump is neither businessman nor politician. He's just entitled heir and unrestrained bully quickly transforming into mafia boss.

#4, as others already stated: he is an old, revengeful, grumpy old man with insights, behaviour and mindset of a 5 year old boy in the kindergarten, bullying all other children. He does this because he can and nobody is stepping up against him. He never got an idea of real people, world & politics.

Vainglory & profound corruption. The Kremlin crime syndicate is only waiting to leverage its petrodollars. Why sanctions must end... The wages of putting a traitor to our storied mode of self-government in the nation's highest executive office. Be that as it may, it's definitely time to #JustDoIt

Safer for us to behave like it is option 3. If it's not, well it will be good news but at least we won't be taken by surprise.

The US will leave NATO as soon as possible. But the US will lose access to CAN and DK soil the moment he leaves NATO, thus the rush and extreme measures to secure US staging grounds for arctic exploitation . He is completely indifferent to euro security. Autocratic, natio-capitalistisc oligarchy.

3rd option seems increasingly likely. Can anyone think of a single, really democratic country that trump has a great relationship with?

It’s a lot simpler: he said he’d get a ceasefire in 24 hours and it’s much easier to lean on a smaller ally nation that’s dependent on you for aid than on Putin, whom he naturally admires due to this strongman image
