Trump's Ukraine Peace Plan Explained

Trump previously claimed that if re-elected, he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. So with his second term as President now imminent, we take a look at why he wants to expedite the end of conflict and how he actually plans on doing it.

In 1994 Ukraine gave its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for promises to respect its sovereignty and yet here we are. If part of the treaty is that Ukraine remains independent and defenseless Russia will just invade again when it sees an opportunity. Just as it did last time

We should ask Czechia how surrendering land in exchange for peace helped everyone in 1938

[FrankeNamensKarim]

Isolationist? Will he stop supporting Israel too?🤔

[kcsvantasticvoyages]

Like Churchill said, you don't bargain with a Lion when your head is already in its mouth!

The truth is nobody knows what Trump will do except Trump himself.

I love TLDR, but 2-3min ad read on a 9min video.... feels a bit much.

[Angor]

4:51 "the US has spent more than 70B in military aid" would be more accurate to phrase as "the US has provided military aid valued at more than 70B".
their aid has largely been providing old stockpiles which they would otherwise have to scrap. that's not the same as paying 70B in money, i.e. "spending"

How would everyone feel if Russia decides that the USA purchase of Alaska was not legitimate and moved people into Alaska "on vacation" to protect ethnic Russians?

[Nntem]

As a ukrainian kid I feel so exhausted from all of this bro. I just want to come back to my home city and play with my friends like it was before the war.

[Krilloan]

One thing is for sure: he will definitely not make Ukraine great again.

[benzbubblecat]

interesting how the US defence budget is $841.4 BILLION and they can't figure out how to procure enough ammunition

[imopn]

Crazy to think peace means giving up 1/5 of your country someone else just walked in and took. Wonder if the US would agree to giving up a 1/5 of it's county if they got invaded or would they decide to fight? It's all so sad. I feel.for the people of Ukraine

[malikluqman]

Once Winston churchill said to Neville Chumberlain when he agreed to surrender piece of Czechia to Hitler for peace " You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war"

[FalconsEye]

if it doesn't end in 24 hours he will say he never said that

[hinefamily]

The problem is the the USA has not suffered a land war in their country for 150 odd years. Ask an American how much land they would be prepared to give up to stop a war on their soil, so stop the killing and I bet a cent to a dollar they they would not give up an inch. The only reason that they are in powerful position is that they did not suffer large catastrophic destructions in both world wars, but expect other countries to cave to tyrants. As Churchill said " America will do the right thing after they have tried everything else"

[Quietly-David]

When you give an aggressor what he wants, you have shown you can be Bought.

[sweetnerevar]

So basically no one knows still. This is like the 10th video about this topic where no actual answer is given. Let’s just wait

[RiseOfAsia]

US before: go fight the Russians I'll aid you...
US after: stop the fight I won't aid you anymore...
Ukrainians died for nothing

[Frakka]

He’s basically proposing Ukraine surrender all claims to occupied lands post 2014 and 2021 invasions! Twenty percent of their land mass and resources. If the US guaranteed Ukrainian sovereignty and integrity in exchange for nuclear disarmament in the Budepest memorandum they should be prepared to honour that guarantee. As the third greatest nuclear power in the world Ukraine disarmed on the basis of American, European and Russian assurances of protection. If they do not, how valid will international agreements be, the guarantors word in any future agreements anywhere would be viewed as unreliable at best.!

[AliceLucindaBronte]

If I was Ukraine I'd be like: "Yeah the only way we are officially giving up any territory to Russia, is if we're instantly accepted into NATO because we know otherwise, Russia is going to try this again in a few years time when they've rebuilt their military."
