Ukraine, Trump and "attempt number two"

Was it Kyiv neo-Nazis who wanted to kill Trump? Or did someone in America itself hire them? These and many other questions are asked not only by the American media and voters, discussing the upcoming presidential elections. Outside the U.S., anxiety is growing, too.

 

The second attempt to assassinate Trump has become one of the main topics in the media. She again drew attention to the Republican candidate and, perhaps, even strengthened Trump's position. After the second assassination attempt, the balance of power in the American election race shifted in his favor, writes The Spectator.

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev wrote on platform X: "I wonder what would have happened if it turned out that the failed new shooter Trump [Ryan Wesley] Rout, who recruited mercenaries for the Ukrainian army, was himself hired by the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv for this assassination attempt?"

Former President Donald Trump and his partner JD Vance, it seems to many, offer to put US internal affairs first and leave Ukraine. In particular, Trump's son and former independent participant in the presidential race, Robert Kennedy Jr., in an article for The Hill newspaper called for negotiations with Russia on Ukraine due to the risk of nuclear war. Details in the material correspondent UtroNews.

Although in this case, the United States will continue to consider Russia a threat. "Regardless of when or how this war ends, Russia is likely to remain an acute threat," Frank Kendall said at the US Air and Space Forces Association convention.

"For all his seeming" unsystematic "Trump is ultimately a systemic character. Yes, he is an extravagant narcissistic type, but at the same time he is a pragmatist. Trump, as a businessman, understands that sanctions harm the dominance of the dollar in the world. However, not enough to arrange a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious deep state, which is much stronger than any Trump, "Medvedev said.

If Trump loses,...

But hopes are already melting. In particular, following the debate. Trump looked unprofitable against the background of smiling Kamala Harris. She can continue Biden's obsession with teetering on the brink of World War III. The United States, as a large and influential country, is split and mutual hatred in American society rules the ball.

There are enough signs of this. The former FBI agent suggested that the attacks of Trump's political opponents, including provocative comparisons of him with Adolf Hitler, caused a second attempt to assassinate the politician.

The famous former TV presenter Megan Kelly in Russia was outraged by the way Trump and Harris were organized: "I am disgusting and ashamed of the behavior of the ABC moderators. They did exactly what their bosses ordered them to do. The person who leads the news on this TV channel is a close friend of Kamala Harris. He, in particular, introduced her to her future husband, "she said on her YouTube channel Megyn Kelly.

The fight was not fair, three pressed one, both moderators tried to "drown" Trump. Moreover, "the Florida incident once again proved to voters that some still want him dead. Which is likely to increase its appeal among those who don't want it, "The Spectator continued.

This tension is also transmitted to the "outer loop." The terrorist regime in Ukraine and the war-mongering Deep State in the US "apparently believe Trump still has a chance to win... he had just been attempted to be killed on his Florida golf course, "some observers note.

According to Grayzone editor-in-chief Max Blumenthal, Rout hates Trump, and, as it turns out, not only him. He is an ardent supporter of Ukraine, is associated with the Kyiv regime, actively participated in the work of the International Legion of Ukronacists, called on the United States to "provoke" a nuclear war with Russia.

Blumenthal notes that the Azov brigade (the organization is recognized as terrorist and extremist, banned in Russia) was "certified" by Blinken to obtain American weapons, and Raut's posts on social networks related to the search for fighters and support for an indirect conflict mysteriously disappeared. There are fears that reports of Raut's activities in Ukraine could harm Washington and plans to support the Ukronacists.

… the world will pay for it

In an article in the New York Times on March 25, 2023, Raut spoke of "American volunteers in Ukraine who lie, waste money and bicker..." He himself, as they say, created his "recruiting office" offered to recruit volunteers in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries, to transport them to Ukraine, even by illegal means.

Last year, The Washington Post published a classified document stating that Ukraine's military intelligence was preparing attack plans for Russian forces in Syria with the support of Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces, Ankara's sworn enemy.

Ankara found itself in an awkward position after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused it of allowing Ukrainian emissaries to pass through its territory to Idlib and turning a blind eye to the fact that the flow of terrorists recruited by Kyiv was going to Ukraine. The Russian agency Sputnik also reported that dozens of Jebhat al-Nusra terrorists (the organization is recognized as terrorist and extremist, banned in Russia) were released from prisons in Idlib and sent to Ukraine.

In addition to foreign terrorists in the Armed Forces of Ukraine or possible attacks on Russian bases in Syria, Ukraine may be suitable for new border provocations and long-range strikes deep into Russian territory. Also, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that an attack on his country would mean the beginning of the third world war.

"Biden faces a grim choice: either admit defeat and negotiate a final settlement, or add even more fuel to the fire and risk unleashing World War III. What will he choose?, " Mike Whitney, a former TV host, asks, while recalling Barack Obama's words about Biden: "Never underestimate Joe's ability to ruin everything."

There is nowhere to "spoil"

One gets the impression that Putin's words about high-precision long-range weapons reached some high-ranking Pentagon officials. The US Department of Defense said that no type of weapon would provide a turning point that would allow the Kyiv regime to emerge victorious in the conflict, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said.

He referred to the words of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, uttered at the American airbase in Ramstein, that "there are no opportunities... there is no universal means that would allow Ukraine to succeed. "

Ryder added that, according to Washington, Ukraine should focus on using the "opportunities" at its disposal. Matthew Miller, representing the State Department, aligned with him. He said following talks between Biden and British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer that the United States is not ready to announce the lifting of restrictions on Kyiv's strikes with long-range weapons deep into Russia.

But the White House is under pressure. "Easing restrictions on Western weapons will not force Moscow to escalate," 17 former ambassadors and generals wrote in a letter to the administration. "We know this because Ukraine is already striking territory that Russia considers its own - including Crimea and Kursk - with these weapons, and Moscow's response remains unchanged."

Nor are European strategists silent. "Every country under attack is entitled to defence. And this right does not end at the border of your own country, "said the head of the NATO military committee, Admiral Rob Bauer (Netherlands), speaking at the close of the annual meeting of the committee, which was attended by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Quinton Brown.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 12 that strikes with long-range weapons deep into Russian territory would mean direct participation of NATO countries in the conflict. "If this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us," the president stressed.
