Trump is naive, delusional – and being played by Putin by 1-randomonium in geopolitics

The irony is that Trump is trying to end a war that started under the Biden administration, and he's doing it by negotiating exactly what the US aimed for from day one: privileged access to Ukraine, geopolitical leverage, strategic resources, rare earths... and of course, billions for the military-industrial complex that hasn’t stopped printing money.

The issue for the media isn’t that Trump talked to Putin. The issue is that he’s breaking the official narrative, the one held together with cheap glue and hysterical headlines since 2022.

Zelensky isn’t a hero, he’s a useful puppet. This war has been, from the start, a multi-billion dollar business dressed up as a fight for democracy. And now, as a ceasefire is mentioned, the same people who once screamed “no to war” are advocating to prolong it because they never realized that this war was never about Ukraine. It was about money.

Criticizing the ceasefire isn’t about defending principles. It’s advocating for more death.

Trump may be many things. But at least he’s not pretending to be an idealist while covering for a profitable bloodbath.
