How Trump Can Achieve Victory of Western Democracies

[Whiteronin]

The simplest solution for Trump would be to publicly announce to Putin that the US will lift some sanctions on Russia, if Putin holds a referendum in Russia proposing peace with Ukraine and the West, unblocking YouTube, and lifting other internet blocks. Various offers and threats could be made, using both carrots and sticks: for example, he could offer to give Russia some Ukrainian territory, or threaten that if Putin doesn't hold the referendum, the US will begin supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles. If this plan doesn't work, another one could be chosen: block the Strait of Hormuz again, ban Venezuela from exporting oil (and perhaps bomb some oil facilities there for effect), raise the price of oil to $200, and then publicly offer China and India cheap American oil if the dictators of these countries agree to hold referendums proposing democratization in their countries, and an alliance with the West.

What you are thinking is quite difficult to do in reality. There are complications, especially in the proposal to give Ukraine's territory to Russia.Because Ukraine is a sovereign state, the United States cannot give Ukraine's territory to Russia without Ukraine's own legitimate decision. Moreover,if the referendum on the peace treaty is held in a way that there is no fear-free environment,the media cannot work freely, and there is no opportunity to express dissent, then the results of that referendum may not be credible.

However, I think that a thread was opened earlier with almost the  same content. So I don't know if the moderator will keep this thread open. The moderator may need to take a closer look at this thread. However, if the moderator thinks that the previous thread is 120 days old or something new can be added to this new thread, the moderator can make the right decision as he sees fit. I just expressed my personal opinion.

Have you thought of the repercussions of these actions? The United States has made more enemies in recent times than allies. I dont think this is the time to stir up forgotten grudges that Russia has over the United States. Most times the best way to go about things isn't by violence, it's by being diplomatic, even if it means you look weak. Russia at the moment is not happy that the Ukranian war wasnt successful, considering the United State isnt far from Russia, it wont take long for Russia to start intervening if Trump take these actions.

Trump could turn himself in and face the consequences of his actions.

*Being a star player in The Epstein Files and now its cover-up.
*Doxing the victims while protecting (powerful) potential perpetrators.
*34 felonies (no jail time?)
*Inciting an insurrection
*Failing his oath to the constitution
*Taking bribes ---> taking bribes from foreign interests
*Starting wars without congressional approval
*Threatening to end civilization
*War crimes with BiBi (like bombing children in school)

That is the ONLY thing Trump could personally do for "western democracy"

Since that will never happen...
The rest of the world should start thinking about following and enforcing "the rules based order" and maybe deactivating his nuke codes ;-)

Are you narrating a movie? Because the way you said all these are not real.

First of is that Venezuela has been a friend of the United States after Nicholas Maduro was arrested by the United States army in Venezuela.

United States even supported Venezuela in the earthquake that killed more than 3000 people that occured few weeks ago. But you are saying United State will bomb Venezuela.

You also said oil price will increase to $200 but Trump will offer it at a cheap price. Is that what makes Trump a billionaire? This can never be true.

To be honest with ourselves, I don’t think there is a single strategy that can guarantee a victory for western democracy. Reason being that foreign policy is barely that predictable because each country has its own interest and priority.
Also any peace agreement has a better chance of lasting if it comes through negotiations rather than pressure alone. Military threats may produce short time results but so they can create new tensions that are harder to solve.

You just gave your suggestion, and you think it is as easy as you wrote. The Russia-Ukraine war is now very complicated.  Various countries are closely monitoring the outcomes. Russia has said they want to control all the Ukrainian territories they have occupied. While Ukraine is insisting that they are not ready to give up any of its territory. The Russians don't want Ukraine to ever join NATO. Meanwhile, Ukraine is scared that without such protection, Russia might invade and annex more territory in the future.

Raising the price of oil to $200 will devastate the economies of many countries, including the US and its trading partners. Russians have already mastered the art of evading sanctions. They have used shadow oil tankers for a long time to bypass several economic sanctions. China and India have refused to stop trading with Russia. These powerful nations can help Russian to avoid sanctions.

It would be better for both parties to negotiate the terms for peace. This is because Russia has shown that it has the ability to sustain the war for a longer time. And the US and Europe are committed to keep supporting Ukraine. I don't see this war ending anytime soon.
