FoxNews: Trump calls on Putin to make a deal, end its war against Ukraine or face more economic pressure. … but also blames Selensky for the war.

FoxNews’ Hanity was the first to interview Donald Trump after his inauguration: Trump gave a deep and shocking insight into the Ukraine situation:
Trump is horrified by the human loss, mentioned 700-800 thousand death soldiers on each side. Trump compares the destruction in Ukraine to demolition sites, hardly able to put in words the horror of the Ukraine war.
Trump blames Selensky for that war. “He is no angel” and “He decided to fight” instead of making a deal … while Trump says that Russia never should have invaded Ukraine: if he was President in 2022, this would never had happened.
Trump threatens Russia with new sanctions if Russia does not move to make a deal.

The FoxNews interview by Sean Hannity gives a deep insight into the complexe and difficult situation of the conflict in Ukraine.

President Trump often blamed his predecessor Biden for the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Under a Trump presidency no such war would have happened in 2022.

Now, for the first time very publicly, Donald Trumps blames in strong words V Selensky for the war in Ukraine.

This ia a very strong message to Selensky. Blaming Selensky for the war is a devastating accusation with far reaching consequences for Selensky, but also for his supporters. Trump said “He is no angel” and “He decided to fight” refusing any deal with Russia, Selensky dared to fight a much larger and much more powerful army (while “He had no tanks” and the West had to send tanks and weapons).

With his words, Donald Trump accuses Selensky of playing Russian Roulette, sacrificing his country and the lives of so many young Ukrainians.

Selensky now is under massive pressure from the American side. The public strong accusations of Trump against him mean also that he will face growing pressure and anger in Ukraine, by a population killed, wounded, impoverished, forced to flee or live in terrible winter conditions, whereas all this, according to Trump, was avoidable and Selensky is to blame for the misery and suffering.

These strong public accusations launched by Trump against Selensky show that Trump is at the very end of his patience with Selensky, that the end game for Selensky has begone and is inevitable. Selensky has himself maneuvered into a difficult corner, lately trying to find help from some of the remaining war supporting European governments and listening with fading hopes to the war pushing speeches of the NATO Secretary Rutte in Davos.

These strong accusations of Trump are also directed against those European governments which are still trying to fight Russia via the Ukrainian nation. The blaming of Biden (and of Selensky) for the war means as well blaming those governments which followed Biden’s call for war – and it means blaming NATO as the main war pushing organization (with its aim to enlarge NATO to the Russian borders).
