Orban tells EU leaders: Re-elected Trump would act as Russia-Ukraine peace broker
www.straitstimes.com
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is ready to act \"immediately\" as a peace broker in the Russia-Ukraine war if he is elected in November, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said in a letter to EU leaders. Read more at straitstimes.com.

He claims Trump would act immediately upon winning the election, before taking office. Which sounds legally dubious, but not that that’s ever stopped Trump…

    Ahh right, because the guy who was literally impeached for trying to get Zelensky to fabricate a story about his political opponent and who is beholden to Ukraine’s enemy would be an honest peace broker.

      I’m not seeing any reference to Trump being honest in the article.

      It’s fairly trivial for the US president to end the conflict. Stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and send them to Russia instead, and it’d be over in a week. This is something I fully believe Trump could do.

        I’m not sure if you could call Russian occupation ‘peace’ in Ukraine

          This is exactly what these people mean when they say “peace”

        That would not bring peace though. Russia would just start with the next country/countries.

          Most likely, as a condition of the “peace”. Russia would promise not to invade anywhere for a few years to make Trump look good…

            So when did russia not break any promise they gave? They already promised to not invade Ukraine!

            It’s just bs.
