Of course Trump is helping Russia in Ukraine – he’s a master of the art of betrayal | Jonathan Freedland

SO SOMEBODY FINALLY LOOKED INTO IT AND HOLY HELL, THE GUARDIAN IS SAYING TRUMP IS BASICALLY HANDING THE KEYS TO PUTIN! I PUT MY DRINK DOWN BECAUSE JONATHAN FREEDLAND IS LITERALLY ARGUING THAT TRUMP ISN'T EVEN HIDING IT ANYMORE! HE SAYS TRUMP IS ACTIVELY ACTING LIKE RUSSIA’S PARTNER IN THIS WAR, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE BACK IN FEBRUARY 2025, HE SUPPOSEDLY HUMILIATED ZELENSKYY RIGHT IN THE OVAL OFFICE WHILE JD VANCE WAS DEMANDING GRATITUDE! THE WHOLE PIECE IS SAYING WE ARE IN A NEW AND DANGEROUS WORLD WHERE THE OLD CERTAINTIES ARE JUST TOTALLY GONE AND WE MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND ANYTHING TO PROTECT OURSELVES! I DON’T KNOW IF PEOPLE ARE DENYING IT OR JUST BLIND, BUT APPARENTLY, THE US PRESIDENT IS NOT PLAYING THE ROLE OF MEDIATOR HERE. ANYWAY THAT IS ENOUGH NEWS FOR ONE NIGHT.

OK THE SHORT VERSION IS THIS, THE GUARDIAN CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP IS BASICALLY AN ALLY TO RUSSIA IN THIS WHOLE UKRAINE SITUATION! THE AUTHOR THINKS TRUMP IS EXHAUSTED THAT THE WORLD WON'T BELIEVE HIM WHEN HE TELLS THEM WHO HE IS, AND HE KEEPS SHOWING EVERYONE HE ISN'T LEADING THE FREE WORLD OR THE DEMOCRATIC WEST! ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE, TRUMP WAS APPARENTLY TELLING ZELENSKYY HE HAD NO CARDS TO PLAY LAST YEAR, WHICH IS JUST BLUNT, MAN! THEY ARE CLAIMING TRUMP ISN'T TRYING TO BROKER PEACE BUT IS INSTEAD ALIGNED WITH PUTIN, AND NOW FREEDLAND THINKS WE HAVE TO PREPARE TO SPEND WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BE SAFE IN THIS NEW WORLD ORDER! I DON’T KNOW WHY HE IS DOING IT, BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PRINTING! OK I AM GOING TO GO BE QUIET NOW.

An opinion piece in The Guardian argues that Donald Trump has aligned himself with Vladimir Putin in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, citing his 2025 conduct toward Ukraine as evidence.
