The president-elect described the death toll as “staggering” and added: “It’s a war that I’m going to try really to stop as quickly as I can.”
Western officials including Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte have sought to stress the importance of Trump ensuring “peace through strength” in Ukraine, and avoiding a defeat for Kyiv that would embolden Putin and his allies in China, Iran and North Korea.
It will never cease to amaze me that modern liberals are to the right of actual fascists on the issue of war.
The alliance between Putin and Trump is a classic example of imperialist collusion, driven by their shared goal to consolidate power and weaken global resistance to their agendas. This partnership, rooted in the contradictions of capitalism, has always been about advancing the interests of oligarchs, not the people.
Putin seeks to rewrite the international order to secure Russia’s dominance, while Trump’s rhetoric about “ending the war” serves as a smokescreen for reducing U.S. costs and influence-shifting. Both pursue imperialist objectives under the guise of diplomacy, ensuring the working class in Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. pays the price.
Marxist analysis reveals that such alliances inevitably crumble under their internal contradictions. This “summit” isn’t about peace but the division of spoils among ruling classes only perpetuating war and exploitation.

Westerners once again demonstrating that they’re incapable of accepting that their countries problems are home grown and not the result of evil conspiracies by perfidious foreigners.
They can’t help themselves but to scapegoat and project every single problem they created onto what they view as “inferior” races and countries.
Usonians think they’re the arbiter of goodness, the moral standard of the world, after their country just killed a million innocent people in Iraq, and are the main funders of the current genocide in Palestine.
The only way to explain it is, that they view themselves as superior and civilized, and every other country is wrong, untrustworthy, and scheming. Western supremacy has completely taken over their brains, and it becomes the lens that they view the world through, and their gut reaction to any event.
Liberal democracy’s portrayal as the sole legitimate form of governance amounts to nothing more than modern-day marketing for colonialism, serving as a pretext for Western invasions and global atrocities masquerading as benevolent civilizing missions. Nothing really changed since the early days of colonialism, it’s just different window dressing for the masses.
