The Trump administration’s plan to lure Russia away from China by gifting Ukraine to Russia is not just failing – it’s backfiring spectacularly. Instead of isolating China, it’s fueling a deeper Russia-China-India axis. This thread breaks down the strategic disaster.

1. This is textbook Elbridge Colby: sacrifice Ukraine to lure Russia away from China. But Russia isn’t switching sides – and the cost is America’s global credibility, moral standing, and deterrence

2. Trump, Colby, Hegseth & others think appeasing Putin will fracture the Russia-China alliance. Instead, they’re handing Ukraine to Russia and seeing China, Russia, and India draw closer. A strategic failure – even traitorous!

3. China perceives the US as corrupt, isolationist, and weak. If America won’t defend Europe – its oldest ally – why would it defend Taiwan? Such a strategy signals retreat and invites aggression

4. It isn’t just weak – it’s morally bankrupt. Abandoning Ukraine empowers dictators, betrays allies, and tells the world America no longer stands for freedom or sovereignty

5. If the US won’t lead, Europe must. More weapons, more funding, tougher sanctions. Ukraine must win – and Europe must stop acting like a geopolitical midget. It has the power. It should use it.

6. Russia started this war. But how long it lasts is up to us. Long-term aid, deep-strike capabilities, and real sanctions can end it faster. Let’s stop waiting for morally compromised American leaders to wake up.
