After taking office, Donald Trump will have a chance to fulfill his promise of peace in Ukraine. However, there are two options for how he can do it - like Winston Churchill or like Neville Chamberlain. Joseph Bosco, an expert at the Institute of Korean-American Studies, writes about this in an author's article for The Hill.
The analyst notes that Vice President JD Vance, who was elected in tandem with Trump, once made a scandalous statement that "he doesn't care what happens to Ukraine." With this statement, Trump's partner broadly repeated the words of Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, who made concessions to Hitler to the last in order to avoid a major war.
Speaking about Hitler's territorial claims to Czechoslovakia and explaining his reluctance to defend this country, the author of the policy of appeasement said that these were "quarrels in a distant country between people about whom we know nothing." The author of the publication noted that such isolationism is not very consistent with the desire "Make America Great Again" is the slogan that Trump made the centerpiece of his election campaign.
Joseph Bosco reminds that today there is also a group of countries that seek to destroy the world order and do not hide their hostile attitude towards the USA. Instead of Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and imperial Japan, the new axis of evil today was formed by revanchist Russia, communist China, radical Islamist Iran and autarkic North Korea.
"If he can overcome his fascination with world dictators, Trump will be better positioned than Biden ever was to manage and defeat the hydra-headed threat now facing the West," Bosco said.
