Trump’s Ukraine Backflip: How NATO Elites Just Ensnared the US (Again)
Washington Is Being Played. This latest manoeuvre by NATO elites is not just cynical—it’s dangerous.
Date: July 2025
Earlier this week, Donald Trump shocked supporters and critics alike when he announced a convoluted plan to resume arms transfers to Ukraine—despite repeated campaign promises to end U.S. involvement in the war. But the real story is more insidious than a simple policy reversal. What we are witnessing is a clever geopolitical trap, engineered by the EU-NATO establishment, designed to force the U.S. back into leading a European war effort that has failed both strategically and morally.
Let’s unpack what just happened—and what it reveals about the state of the West.
A Cynical Workaround for a Broken Promise
Trump’s public stance has long been clear: No more U.S. arms for Ukraine. Yet, under pressure from both NATO hardliners and the U.S. military-industrial complex, he has now endorsed a workaround that is as absurd as it is revealing.
Here’s how it works:
1. The EU orders and pays for American-made weapons.
2. These arms are manufactured by the U.S. defense industry.
3. On delivery, they are handed over to NATO.
4. NATO then supplies them to Ukraine.
Trump can then claim—technically—that he didn’t approve any direct U.S. arms transfers to Ukraine.
But everyone watching knows what this is: an accounting trick to hide a strategic betrayal of both American voters and geopolitical common sense.
The $300 Billion Mirage
To finance this scheme, NATO strategists floated the idea of using the $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank reserves, currently held and managed by Euroclear in Belgium. But the legal, financial, and geopolitical risks are so immense that even the EU’s own mechanisms are pushing back.
Belgium—home to Euroclear—and other legal experts within the EU have refused to approve the outright confiscation of these funds, citing international law, potential retaliatory precedents, and the risk of destabilizing the global financial system.
Meanwhile, the Trump workaround—where the EU would order U.S.-made weapons, then pass them to NATO for Ukraine—has run into another wall: EU countries do not have the money. Nations like France, Italy, Spain, Slovakia, Hungary, and even Germany are either unwilling or unable to fund such a plan at the scale envisioned. These governments are facing domestic economic pressures, military stockpile shortages, and growing voter fatigue over the endless flow of support to Ukraine.
So, the plan falters on two fronts:
• The legal impossibility of using Russia’s frozen reserves.
• The financial reluctance of EU states to take on the bill for what is, in effect, a U.S.- profitable billions-plus transaction.
NATO’s Russophobia and the American Trap
What we’re really seeing is a resurgence of the EU/NATO Russophobia project, with a dangerous twist.
For years, Brussels, Warsaw, London, Berlin and the Baltics have dreamed of a moment where the West could finally defeat Russia militarily. The Ukrainian conflict offered that hope—but only if America led the effort, financially, militarily, and politically.
Now, with Ukraine’s military position sharply deteriorating, the EU elite are making one final gambit:
• Bypass Trump’s promises,
• Manufacture a European-led arms initiative (on paper),
• Then pull the U.S. back in as the ultimate arsenal and guarantor of victory.
This isn’t strategy—it’s entrapment. And Trump has walked right into it.
Reality Check: The War Is Lost Militarily
The brutal truth, ignored in Western media but acknowledged by many military analysts, is this:
Ukraine cannot win this war militarily.
The reasons are obvious:
• Russia’s manpower advantage (140M vs. ~30M)
• Control of the skies and drone dominance
• Superior industrial base and logistics
• Massive reserves of artillery and ammunition
• A weakening and fragmented Ukrainian military, hollowed out by casualties, fatigue, and conscription issues
Continued Western support only prolongs the suffering—while destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure, population, and long-term viability.
The Only Path Forward: A Diplomatic Solution
The time for illusions is over. What’s needed now is a sober and realistic peace framework, one that includes:
• Recognition of Crimea and the Donbas as de facto under Russian control
• A formal commitment to Ukrainian neutrality
• Security guarantees for both sides
• A phased lifting of sanctions tied to compliance
Such a settlement will not be easy. But it is infinitely better than the current path, which promises only more destruction, escalation, and geopolitical fragmentation.
Trump’s Missed Opportunity—and His Final Test
Donald Trump built his political identity on opposing “forever wars.” He has repeatedly criticized NATO freeloading, EU bureaucracy, and U.S. overreach abroad.
Yet, with this latest move, he risks becoming just another American president played by the war lobby—dragged into a European conflict with no exit, no victory, and no mandate.
This moment is his final test:
• Will he confront the NATO elites and say enough is enough?
• Or will he try to appease everyone, and in doing so, lose everything?
Final Thought: Washington Is Being Played
This latest manoeuvre by NATO elites is not just cynical—it’s dangerous.
By creating a convoluted system of proxy procurement and legal fiction, they have successfully pulled the U.S. back into the war it tried to escape. Not through direct confrontation, but by manipulating Trump’s own weaknesses and campaign rhetoric.
Washington needs to wake up. The longer this war continues, the more damage it does:
• To Ukraine’s survival
• To European unity
• To American global credibility
There is no military path to “victory.” There is only compromise—or catastrophe.
It's not UE which rules. Just this idea make me smile. No, it's the USA deepState which rules. We know since Obama, Trump 1 and Biden that a POTUS is nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I don't think there is a bunch of mega mega mega rich who rule the world.
I think there is a huge financial technostructure that work like a clergy. Like catholic clergy in 15th century , before Calvin and Luther.
WASP often imagine the pope as a holly leader obey by everybody. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
A Pope is like a CEO without share. He represented, he give the colour, he manage but he is submit to a group of administrators representing major shareholders.
A blob of people guided by ambition, greed, opportunism, vanity with all the same agenda: more money, more power, more submission of others. Then can be foes, ennemies, competitors, they can hate and despise each other but they are ok that much money and submission pass by more power. You have webs, factions. Gates or Zuckerberg or Bezos can be laughable with their miserables hundreds of trillions dollars.
For example, you have a family of old and famous bankers, they don't own, they manage... 250 000 trillions dollars of wealth.
That make ,250 000 000 000 000 000 dollars. The Half of the total world wealth. That don't belong to them but they can act on it.
And they are not alone.
An etude show that 70% of the world wealth is reduced to 25 companies. And often, those companies have the same big share holders.
These people don't rule like emperors or autocrats. No they subserve what they see as good trends and they thwart as they see as bad trends. And they can stand on the zeal of entire legion of devoted agents.
In the case of France, we have a big weapon industry and our government is cutting wildly in our national budget.
So, if French learn that their government throw billions euros to feed the big fat American pig, it could spark extremely serious events. It's a red line for french people. Our "elites" are rotten, sold, corrupted and traitors but then don't want to have their head at the end of a pike.
In Germany, we've seen all kind of chancellor but always clever, harsh and terribly invested by their national interest. So, it's really astonishing to see at what point the current chancellor is purely dumb and US servile. We've never see a German chancellor so restless since Hitler. Mad.
Italia and Spain has the same situation than France.
UK transformed awfully itself in a Monty Python sketch. It's horrible for old foe like us( 800 and) to see a so brillant nation , a so valiant adversary falling so quick so deep. In France we had a terrible suite of unworthy presidents, Sarkozy, Hollande, Macron. But UK is more than one can imagine. It's dumb and dumber and a whole land in psychiatric decompensation.
Here is the sad state of Europe.
I think there's no machiavelli calculations.
Just a continent in terminal phase.
And one must think dynamic.
In ten or twenty years France will really begin to look like a Algerian or sahelian failed state. England will look like Pakistan with rain and Germany a kind of psycho rigid Turkey.
What do you mean by 'their head at the end of a pike?' Macron keeps getting away with a few slaps and some rotten eggs on his face. His wife is so angry she doesn't even know if she is a boy or a girl anymore but they are still running the country.
But you know, révolutions learned us something. It's just a changé of those who kickass others. And it's often the same. And after a few time, former and current kickassers become friends to kickass together. 😂
Nobody cares what the french people think or want. The rulers could not care less what happens in ten or twenty years. They'll have buggered off to somewhere else if need be.
I still am not sure what you are trying to say here. If you are saying that RT is referencing a Bloomberg report on climate change, ergo investors are thinking lobg-term - ignore what people say.
The good news here is that the cracks are getting deeper and deeper among the NATO nations. I am wondering how many more will revolt when Trump will try to deprive them from cheap Russian fossil fuels that they are still getting here and there. Germany, with the strongest EU economy is slowly shifting toward recession but some less capable countries will have a very difficult time to stand up to the financial pressure. On the one hand the order is to buy expensive US fossil fuels; on the other hand Ursula is pushing them to pay for expensive US weapons for Ukraine. I can already smell the unpleasant odor of slave revolts.
I don't think so. Germans are, with Japanese, the most disciplined people in the world. They grow together at goose step, the are pacific together at goose step, they fall at goose step and suicide at goose step. Don't wait unrest ot revolution in Germany.
I was kind of also impressed by Arminius’ act of AD 9. The Romans did manage to punish him personally but he was able to change history for the Germanic Tribes. Hitler coming to power in 1933 also started with street and beer hall revolts just like Orban taking over Hungary after the 2006 street revolts in Budapest.
I think that the only revolution attempt in German history was the Spartakistes in 1918 . It needed a four years war and a humiliating defeat to spark it. It was quickly crushed with the most extreme brutality.
Poland was a greatest and strong nation but disappeared in 1795...
Magyar were proud and valiant too but broken by Ottoman and then Austrians. Tchèques, Slovaks, Romanians, Bulgares, Greeks, Italians, Germans are very recent countries. End of the 19th or beginning of 20th. Before they were weak and tossed about from an empire to another.
There is only seven strong old west European nations: Spain, which lost any importance middle of 18th siecle .Sweden which lost importance in 18th century thanks to Russia. Poland, disappeared between Prussia and Russia in 1795. Nederland, which lost its sovereignty for UK in 1815,. France , which lost sovereignty for UK( thanks to Russia) in 1815 too and then in 1944. Austria which was reduced to nothing in 1918. And UK, that was sold to USA by Churchill( half American) in 1942.
Magyars still managed to spank Austria into submission in 1848-1849. Their problem was that an overwhelming Russian army showed up from the East when victory was clearly achieved.
Europeans in general. Note how germans went from chest-thumping Darwinists to the biggest metrosexual wimps on the planet, once the Red Army showed up and suddenly this "The World Belongs To The Strong!" act wasn't so much fun anymore.
There was a whole healthy wave of revolutions sweeping Europe in the 1950s from East Germany to Poland, Hungary and reaching into the Soviet Empire all the way. The geopolitical effects were substantial; commie expansions into Western Europe and the USA were placed on ice for good. As one educated observer stated; 'Budapest 1956 was the Stalingrad for communism.’
During the first Trump presidency, I've seen a astonishing british interview of Biden.
Was he drunk? He was hilarious.
He spoke about the moment when French and Germans didn't want to follow USA in the Ukrainian history. He told that Obama send him to chancellor Merckel and president Hollande to make them "shit straight". I don't remember exactly the words but it was really as rude as that. The host were stupefied of such rudeness and asked:
I wondered: Instead of Trump changing his position from being against the War in Ukraine to participating in it by selling outdated US weapons to NATO, was Trump giving Putin 50 days to finalize military success in Ukraine? This would mean Trump hadn't changed his attitude towards the war, but saw that Putin was clearly winning the war and needed roughly 50 days to achieve their military objective. These two men do talk, and they have talked fairly recently.
How can the globalist neocons who want perpetual war be all-powerful if Putin is actually winning the war in Ukraine? Doesn't Putin's military success prove that they cannot control him?
Thank you Andrew Korybko for another helpful analysis and sharing the dilemma with us and others. Thank you to all who have written comments. I learned a lot from you.
I do not know if Trump is being played. Maybe he is, but he's not a dumb person. He is actually very bright and he understands how our government works in a very deep way. He's had time to figure out who is in control.
The ones in control do not want their names known. You can guess why. The entire world except those they pay off would want their heads, because they are responsible for the death machine that they want on a permanent "on" setting for world depopulation from which they profit handsomely.
There are many involved, in the US it is called "the blob" or the foreign policy "blob" commonly also known as "neocons" those who never saw a war they didn't want someone else to fight. It is also called the "deep state" as it is individuals working in many agencies within the DoD, the 17 different spy agencies including many divisions within the CIA, the NGO's affiliated with these governmental bodies. It is the NGOs that do the work that is illegal for the government to do.
That makes the war machine inside our government along with their NGOs a kind of criminal cartel specializing in mass murder quaintly called "war."
In addition, @DataRepublican has shown that NATO ceased to be a defensive alliance some time in the last 30 years following a document written by George Soros, "On the Future of NATO" in which he laid out the purpose of NATO, which was to be establishing "Open Societies." What is an "open society?" Look at the UK, look at France, look at Germany, look at the US under Biden. Open borders, mass Muslim immigration, moving the 1st world economies to be even with those of the 3rd world, etc. And in addition, military action is to be taken against any country that does not want to be an "open society."
Look at Russia. Putin can tell you what happens if you don't want to be an "open society."
This is the role of NATO, it is not publicized openly, but you can see it in the plan for the EU, those of you from Europe have witnessed with your own eyes and hearts what it feels like. There does not need to be military provocation for a military response from NATO.
But the people around the world, who they have conveniently not told about what NATO is all about, would want an explanation, so there always has to be a bad guy, and this time it's Putin. But there will always be others as long as these individuals stay hidden and believe they are in control of the world.
I think Trump knows this. I do not think Trump went into this 2nd administration with the idea of ending the CIA or the foreign policy blob, but he definitely spoke about destroying the deep state.
He may have a plan to do so. But the plan takes time, because the US cannot be exposed to all the awful truths at once. It would lead to chaos. So he is taking it one step at a time. The declassification of the crimes of Obama, Brennan, Clapper, etc. is one of the first "secrets" to be revealed and the first criminals to be exposed. (though many of us have known these were criminals and traitors for a while now, we just didn't have the documents proving it until now). After a while there will be others.
This is off topic but I have seen Trump behave markedly different towards Israel this time than in his previous administration. Or perhaps this was his attitude which he hid in the previous administration. He does appear to be pro-jihadi at this time. It appears very out of character for him. It goes against everything he promised. This pro-jihadi Middle East foreign policy has been the covert policy of the US (created by the CIA) since 1979. I am taking a wait and see attitude and am suspicious about this apparent change, just as Trump APPEARED to change his tune about the war in Ukraine.
He may have actually changed to be pro-jihadi and pro-Ukraine war. Or, he may be attempting to make the deep state complacent as he gives in to their wishes until such time as he is in a position to do otherwise.
The truth is, more weapons = more deaths. We know from various stats that it's predominantly Ukrainians who are dying. It's evil and shameful that the West is willing to sacrifice all Ukrainians to weaken Russia.
So in other words, you have nothing. Because I can point you to plenty of credible sources stating very much the opposite. Or to the gorey stuff on Telegram.
You can't even be bothered to try supporting your claim.
Ever looked at the Ukrainian graves from satelite images? Estimates can also be calculated by how many prostetics Ukraine buys. Asiatimes.com reported about this a long time ago. Russia has 20 times the fire power but somehow they are supposed to lose more people than Ukraine. I don't blame you for believing it all though. I mean, they lied to us about Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Afghanistan but somehow you people believe them about Ukraine. Just please don't cry when the war is over and you see how many Ukrainians died... that is, if you even care.
Normally, getting Europe to pay for anything would be sufficient to end the project bc they're all 1st class cheapskates. In this case, creating global chaos is their only true objective, so they'll pay and the weapons will show up. And some surprise somewhere will pull the trigger. I jope Russia not only stops it quickly and effectively, but also teaches those idiot neocons a lesson they won't forget.

You can't imagine the level of frustration and hate in our country.
It is time to take action there and raise the flag of Populism.
In our history, révolutions or jacqueries never come where and when you wait them.
I do like surprises. A leading Populist in America used to say: Always count on the unaccepted.
But you know, révolutions learned us something. It's just a changé of those who kickass others. And it's often the same. And after a few time, former and current kickassers become friends to kickass together. 😂

Wrong. Bloomberg alert the global planet of finance that the Premier budget cuts are very bothering for all investor in UE.
I am not sure what you are saying here.
It's on RT
I still am not sure what you are trying to say here. If you are saying that RT is referencing a Bloomberg report on climate change, ergo investors are thinking lobg-term - ignore what people say.
Watch what they do.
The good news here is that the cracks are getting deeper and deeper among the NATO nations.

Europeans like being slaves.
Interesting, I was hanging around in Europe for long years and the commies kept telling me I was the worst slave they ever had.
East Europeans always been servile.
Poland was a greatest and strong nation but disappeared in 1795...
Magyar were proud and valiant too but broken by Ottoman and then Austrians. Tchèques, Slovaks, Romanians, Bulgares, Greeks, Italians, Germans are very recent countries. End of the 19th or beginning of 20th. Before they were weak and tossed about from an empire to another.

Austria which was reduced to nothing in 1918. And UK, that was sold to USA by Churchill( half American) in 1942.
Others are defeated of WW2.
Magyars still managed to spank Austria into submission in 1848-1849. Their problem was that an overwhelming Russian army showed up from the East when victory was clearly achieved.
Europeans in general. Note how germans went from chest-thumping Darwinists to the biggest metrosexual wimps on the planet, once the Red Army showed up and suddenly this "The World Belongs To The Strong!" act wasn't so much fun anymore.
There was a whole healthy wave of revolutions sweeping Europe in the 1950s from East Germany to Poland, Hungary and reaching into the Soviet Empire all the way. The geopolitical effects were substantial; commie expansions into Western Europe and the USA were placed on ice for good. As one educated observer stated; 'Budapest 1956 was the Stalingrad for communism.’
Hell, the United States commits an act of war on germany and the european response is something to the effect that bad slaves deserve their beatings.
The story is not over, we are only in the early acts of the whole drama.
Oh, europe will participate. Whether they like it or not.
Absolutely.
During the first Trump presidency, I've seen a astonishing british interview of Biden.
Was he drunk? He was hilarious.
He spoke about the moment when French and Germans didn't want to follow USA in the Ukrainian history. He told that Obama send him to chancellor Merckel and president Hollande to make them "shit straight". I don't remember exactly the words but it was really as rude as that. The host were stupefied of such rudeness and asked:
- and?
And Biden burst out laughing and said:
- they shit straight.
Yes they will still shit straight.

I wondered: Instead of Trump changing his position from being against the War in Ukraine to participating in it by selling outdated US weapons to NATO, was Trump giving Putin 50 days to finalize military success in Ukraine? This would mean Trump hadn't changed his attitude towards the war, but saw that Putin was clearly winning the war and needed roughly 50 days to achieve their military objective. These two men do talk, and they have talked fairly recently.
How can the globalist neocons who want perpetual war be all-powerful if Putin is actually winning the war in Ukraine? Doesn't Putin's military success prove that they cannot control him?
Nicely done (maybe)! Only a year from the start of this offensive. Enjoy the rubble.
All is in a definition of what could be a victory.
Refering to russian ultimatum in 4 points of November 2021, Russia is, far, far, far away .
Thank you Andrew Korybko for another helpful analysis and sharing the dilemma with us and others. Thank you to all who have written comments. I learned a lot from you.
I do not know if Trump is being played. Maybe he is, but he's not a dumb person. He is actually very bright and he understands how our government works in a very deep way. He's had time to figure out who is in control.
The ones in control do not want their names known. You can guess why. The entire world except those they pay off would want their heads, because they are responsible for the death machine that they want on a permanent "on" setting for world depopulation from which they profit handsomely.
There are many involved, in the US it is called "the blob" or the foreign policy "blob" commonly also known as "neocons" those who never saw a war they didn't want someone else to fight. It is also called the "deep state" as it is individuals working in many agencies within the DoD, the 17 different spy agencies including many divisions within the CIA, the NGO's affiliated with these governmental bodies. It is the NGOs that do the work that is illegal for the government to do.
That makes the war machine inside our government along with their NGOs a kind of criminal cartel specializing in mass murder quaintly called "war."
In addition, @DataRepublican has shown that NATO ceased to be a defensive alliance some time in the last 30 years following a document written by George Soros, "On the Future of NATO" in which he laid out the purpose of NATO, which was to be establishing "Open Societies." What is an "open society?" Look at the UK, look at France, look at Germany, look at the US under Biden. Open borders, mass Muslim immigration, moving the 1st world economies to be even with those of the 3rd world, etc. And in addition, military action is to be taken against any country that does not want to be an "open society."
Look at Russia. Putin can tell you what happens if you don't want to be an "open society."
This is the role of NATO, it is not publicized openly, but you can see it in the plan for the EU, those of you from Europe have witnessed with your own eyes and hearts what it feels like. There does not need to be military provocation for a military response from NATO.
But the people around the world, who they have conveniently not told about what NATO is all about, would want an explanation, so there always has to be a bad guy, and this time it's Putin. But there will always be others as long as these individuals stay hidden and believe they are in control of the world.
I think Trump knows this. I do not think Trump went into this 2nd administration with the idea of ending the CIA or the foreign policy blob, but he definitely spoke about destroying the deep state.
He may have a plan to do so. But the plan takes time, because the US cannot be exposed to all the awful truths at once. It would lead to chaos. So he is taking it one step at a time. The declassification of the crimes of Obama, Brennan, Clapper, etc. is one of the first "secrets" to be revealed and the first criminals to be exposed. (though many of us have known these were criminals and traitors for a while now, we just didn't have the documents proving it until now). After a while there will be others.
This is off topic but I have seen Trump behave markedly different towards Israel this time than in his previous administration. Or perhaps this was his attitude which he hid in the previous administration. He does appear to be pro-jihadi at this time. It appears very out of character for him. It goes against everything he promised. This pro-jihadi Middle East foreign policy has been the covert policy of the US (created by the CIA) since 1979. I am taking a wait and see attitude and am suspicious about this apparent change, just as Trump APPEARED to change his tune about the war in Ukraine.
He may have actually changed to be pro-jihadi and pro-Ukraine war. Or, he may be attempting to make the deep state complacent as he gives in to their wishes until such time as he is in a position to do otherwise.
The truth is, more weapons = more deaths. We know from various stats that it's predominantly Ukrainians who are dying. It's evil and shameful that the West is willing to sacrifice all Ukrainians to weaken Russia.
English and USA, historically, love to bleed their allies to death to take it all after victory .
English bleed Holland and France to death to fight Spanish empire.
They made all Europe bleed to death to still french empire in India and America.
English made Spain bleed to death to fight Napoléon. As soon as it was made they betray them and destroyed their american empire remains .
They bleed Russians to death to flight Napoleon. As soon as done, they allied with French against Russian
They bleed French to death to fight Germans in WW1 and WW2.
English were very smart before looking like a Johnny English film or a Monty Python sketch.
Terrible and deadly foe.
"Various stats" from where?
Exchange of bodies recently. Some other reports etc.
So in other words, you have nothing. Because I can point you to plenty of credible sources stating very much the opposite. Or to the gorey stuff on Telegram.
You can't even be bothered to try supporting your claim.
Kiev Independent? lol.
No. The UN, ISW, variously flavored think-tanks, military institutes, universities, NATO estimates.
Plenty of satellite images. Lots of video.
lol-zzzzz
lol ISW and NATO estimates.
Ever looked at the Ukrainian graves from satelite images? Estimates can also be calculated by how many prostetics Ukraine buys. Asiatimes.com reported about this a long time ago. Russia has 20 times the fire power but somehow they are supposed to lose more people than Ukraine. I don't blame you for believing it all though. I mean, they lied to us about Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Afghanistan but somehow you people believe them about Ukraine. Just please don't cry when the war is over and you see how many Ukrainians died... that is, if you even care.
Normally, getting Europe to pay for anything would be sufficient to end the project bc they're all 1st class cheapskates. In this case, creating global chaos is their only true objective, so they'll pay and the weapons will show up. And some surprise somewhere will pull the trigger. I jope Russia not only stops it quickly and effectively, but also teaches those idiot neocons a lesson they won't forget.
