Russia, Let History Speak

The Real Cost of Those Eggs pt.48

 We wake up to the news that Ukraine, is 

 getting the shit kicked out of it 

by Russia, for yet another day. 

The response from the orange face is,

 “I give Putin 2 more weeks till I place real severe sanctions” 

There was of course the side show that happened in Alaska,

For honestly sake let's see what Bratman said before the big Alaska Sumit

And he came home with his tail between his legs and a mope on his face.

Let History Compare

Aspect	John F. Kennedy (1961–1963)	Donald J. Trump (2017–2021, reelected 2024)
Global Context	Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union	Post-Cold War rivalry with Russia, especially over Ukraine
Primary Strategy	Confrontation with diplomacy: “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.”	Transactional diplomacy: Emphasis on deal-making and personal rapport with Putin
Major Events	Cuban Missile Crisis, Berlin Crisis, Bay of Pigs	Russia-Ukraine War, NATO tensions, meetings with Putin
Military Posture	Massive arms buildup, flexible response doctrine	Avoided direct military escalation; opposed Ukraine joining NATO
Crisis Management	Resolved Cuban Missile Crisis through backchannel diplomacy and naval blockade	Proposed peace talks between Russia and Ukraine; met Putin in Alaska
Public Messaging	Framed Soviet Union as ideological adversary	Often downplayed Russian threat; praised Putin’s leadership at times
Policy Tools	Created Arms Control and Disarmament Agency; signed Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty	Imposed tariffs on countries buying Russian oil (e.g., India); floated 50-day ultimatum to Putin
Advisors	Relied on experienced diplomats and academics (e.g., McGeorge Bundy, Dean Rusk)	Trusted loyalists and business allies (e.g., Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff)

Kennedy Approach:

JFK. saw the Soviet Union as an existential ideological threat and used a mix of military readiness and diplomatic finesse to contain it. His handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis is often cited as a masterclass in crisis diplomacy.

Trump’s Approach:

Personal Diplomacy: Trump greeted Putin with a red carpet and military flyover, emphasizing respect and rapport

• Negotiation Style: He threatened “severe consequences” if Putin didn’t agree to a ceasefire—but ultimately walked away without a deal.

• 
  

• Outcome: No ceasefire was reached. Trump said, “many points were agreed to,” but admitted “no deal” had been made.

• 
  

• Criticism: Some analysts argued Putin gained symbolic wins—like global legitimacy—without making concessions.

So, it seems that Trump is more worried about winning the Nobel Peace Prize, then ending the war. He consistently frames the war as a conflict that Biden started and brags how if he was President, Russia would never have invaded, because Putin has respect for him. Like anything else Trump does he must get all the praise & spotlight.  If you still need an example, look no further than what he is doing in Washington D.C. 

His posture is less about defending democratic norms and more about ending the war quickly—even if that means pressuring Ukraine to make huge land concessions.

Yes, I understand different times and different days.

Question: Would a free America still be here if Trump was in Charge back then?
