Threatening The Russians With An Ultimatum Will Backfire Severely And Will Set The Stage...
So is this how it all ends? I don't even know how to describe the emotions that I am feeling right now. There was so much hope a few months ago that there would be peace, but both sides appear completely uninterested in making substantial compromises at this point. Instead, both sides are poised to dramatically escalate the war. If we continue going down this path, it isn't going to end well. For decades, our leaders have been conducting war game scenarios in which a conflict in Ukraine leads to a nuclear war. Now a conflict in Ukraine could lead to a nuclear war for real. I feel like I am watching a slow-motion train wreck happen without any way to stop it. It really is quite a sickening feeling.
We have a very limited window of opportunity to make peace with the Russians, and we are totally blowing it.
In February, I specifically warned that President Trump must not resort to threatening the Russians over the war in Ukraine because it would backfire severely.
When I woke up today, I learned that is exactly what Trump has decided to do.
Trump has issued a very ominous ultimatum. If Russia does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days, the U.S. will impose "very severe tariffs" on all nations that do business with Russia. In addition, Trump has approved a massive new weapons package for Ukraine…
Trump announced July 14 that the United States is sending weapons to NATO, which plans to transfer the equipment to Ukraine, and also threatened steep tariffs aimed at impacting Russia's ability to finance the war.
Trump said that the United States would put secondary tariffs on countries that do business with Russia if a peace deal is not reached within 50 days.
"We're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days," Trump said.
The deadline that Trump has set falls in September, which I found to be very interesting.
If Russia does not end the war in Ukraine by the deadline, and that is very unlikely to happen, Trump says that all countries that do business with Russia will be hit with 100 percent tariffs…
