Orban Says Trump Will Demand Peace Talks If He Wins in November
July 19—GOP Presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump will quickly demand peace talks between Russia and Ukraine if he wins the Nov. 5 presidential election, and has developed “well-founded plans” for doing so, Hungary's Primie Minister Viktor Orbán has claimed after private discussions with the Republican candidate, the Financial Times reported July 15. That prospect means the EU should reopen direct diplomatic communication with Russia and start “high-level” negotiations with China to find a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine, Orbán said, in a private letter to EU leaders following consultations in Moscow and Beijing.
Orbán also said in the letter, that on the basis of his recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Ukraine's self-proclaimed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the “general observation” was “that the intensity of the military conflict will radically escalate in the near future.”
“We can expect no peace initiative coming from [Trump] until the elections. I can however surely state that shortly after his election victory, he will not wait until his inauguration, but will be ready to act as a peace broker immediately,” Orbán wrote in his letter sent to European Council president Charles Michel and other EU leaders, the FT reported. "He has detailed and well-founded plans for this. That means the EU should anticipate the shift in U.S. policy, Orbán said, and either embrace the need for immediate negotiations between Russia and Ukraine or take on more responsibility for funding Ukraine’s defense, implying that a Trump-led United States will not continue to fund NATO's war on Russia.
Sources report that Trump has told confidants this week that he intends to label the war in the Ukraine "Biden's folly," and says that the United States should have talked with Putin before he was forced to move into the Ukraine. The GOP candidate reportedly stated that, if he had been President, he would have forced the Ukraine to allow a free plebiscite to people living in its eastern regions as to whether they wanted to leave the Ukraine, obtain autonomy, or join the Russian Federation. A Russian-conducted vote folund majority support for the latter, and the regions have now been accepted into the Russian Federation.
"What kind of lunatic<" said reportedly Trump, referring the demented and apparently senile Biden, "would send more than a half million Ukrainians to the death in a war they could never have won to bleed an alleged enemy (Russia) who had offered a peaceful solution? He is really a war criminal for forcing this and now he risks nuclear war. This is Biden's War, Biden's Folly, under the direction of the worst commander-in -chief in history."
