Trump Played Big Role in Getting Ukraine the $61 Billion: Boris Johnson

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Donald Trump played an ‘important role’ in getting Ukraine $61 billion from the American taxpayers

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave credit to Donald Trump in an interview with CNN because he said he understands that the former president explained to congressional leaders that the massive war spending bill was a “sensible thing to do.”

Trump has been vague about Ukraine in insisted that the Russian invasion would have never happened if he was still in office. His base goes wild when he talks about NATO. He drew fire in February when he told a crowd that his Washington may not defend a NATO member delinquent on its bills. 

“You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent? No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay. You gotta pay your bills.”

CNN reported that “almost immediately” after House Speaker Mike Johnson secured the speaker’s gavel, “he began to hear directly from critical Republican national security voices – including Donald Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who impressed upon him the urgent need to approve assistance for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion.”

Michael Kimmage, a professor of history at Catholic University who held the Russia/Ukraine portfolio on the policy planning staff at the U.S. State Department from 2014 to 2016, wrote in The Wall Street Journal today that “a second Trump term would likely follow one of two scenarios: The war could simply go on as it did before, or the U.S. could become much more deeply involved.”

He wrote:

Responding to the battlefield, Trump might change the U.S. calculus and furnish Ukraine with weapons systems that the Biden administration was reluctant to allow. He might let Kyiv use U.S.-supplied weapons on Russian territory.

Like Putin, Trump might refuse to declare tactical nuclear weapons off limits in Ukraine. Trump could do this to strengthen his hand at the negotiating table, as a bluff or just to separate himself from his predecessors. He could approach the question of nuclear war not according to the cautious old orthodoxies but according to his own unknowable rules.

Trump’s position on Ukraine has evolved.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in March that if Trump was re-elected, he would cut off funding for Ukraine’s losing war effort against Russia, which would bring a resolution to the conflict.

“He will not give a penny into the Ukraine-Russia war and therefore the war will end,” he told state television late on Sunday, according to i24News. "As it is obvious that Ukraine on its own cannot stand on its feet."

He continued, “If the Americans do not give money and weapons, and also the Europeans, then this war will be over. And if the Americans do not give money the Europeans are unable to finance this war on their own, and then the war will end.”

Johnson has been one of the biggest Western supporters of the war and promised Ukrainians that the UK will be in their corner until they “ultimately prevail.”

Ray McGovern, the former CIA analyst, told the “Dialogue Works” podcast in April that he would not put it past the Biden administration “sophomores” to use a “low-yield nuclear weapon to help save face in Ukraine before the 2024 election.

He said the “sophomores” who advise Biden – like National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken – may recommend something like a low-yield nuke to get through the election.

He said Biden and his top staffers may easily face legal issues once out of office – due to evidence of graft and bribery – so they have “a personal incentive not to lose the war, then lose the election, then lose their freedom.”

He continued, “Now I say that because I want people to think about that. You know, the Russians have no need to use a nuclear weapon. They're winning. The only thing that could reverse it or stop it would be this incredibly stupid and dangerous step, and I wouldn’t put it past the Blinkens and the Sullivans of this world, unfortunately.”
