May Trump Douse the Fire
The Citizen
|January 09, 2025
Donald Trump is not the man to be trusted to end the conflict in Ukraine anytime soon as he promised, as it is impossible to resolve such an issue within 24 hours, never mind a week or so.
Now that he is close to being sworn in as president into the White House, he is speaking in tongues about what he plans to do.
Meanwhile, people from both sides are dying in their thousands in what has now become a proxy war. We just hope when Trump finally gets down to the business of intervening in the matter, even in the next six months, everything works out.
He runs the country through X, and since he was elected, he has been running vox populi surveys on social media to get public views about what he should do about certain things, including the Ukraine War and other foreign policy issues.
In the surveys, the public told him to end the conflict, but now he is dilly-dallying about the next step.
Trump was not being realistic when he announced that he would end the war within 24 hours in office.
He thought he would just call Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and order them to stop the fight, ignoring the fact that it's not so easy.
