"Falling into the Abyss": Trump Admits Powerlessness at the UN, Russia Refuses to Compromise

When speaking at the United Nations General Assembly (GA), Trump admitted that Putin did not make any concessions on the Ukraine issue because of him. He also stated that he would not impose "strong tariffs" on Moscow as long as other countries continued to maintain trade relations with Russia. In addition, he hinted at how Europe and Russia could avoid the most severe risks.

During the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the live television broadcast (whether by accident or intentionally) was interrupted, which made his speech particularly interesting — vivid and full of personal style. Trump first accused the United Nations, which he claimed had been "corrupted" by the West, of "wasting a lot of money," being "ineffective and inefficient." He also mentioned his own "humble achievements" (during his presidency, "the world prospered," and after returning to the White House, "he ended seven wars"), and then moved directly to the core issues.

For this "Western master," the most important thing was to highlight his achievements: "I ended seven wars. But the United Nations gave me nothing but an escalation of conflicts." Related video: "Studio 3."

This U.S. leader also turned his attention to Joe Biden, claiming that the previous administration dragged America into "a series of disasters," replacing what he called "a peaceful and stable era established in two continents" with "one of the worst crises of our time."

Among all the issues, there are two major issues worth noting.

The Ukraine Issue

Trump said that he was "steadily working to end the casualties of the Ukrainian people." The U.S. president also reflected on himself, admitting that he had made mistakes in two things. First, he "thought it was the easiest conflict to resolve." Second, he believed that his relationship with President Putin had always been good, which could help him solve the Ukraine issue.

Trump said that during the process of advancing this goal, he encountered "many surprises — both good and bad." He once again reiterated that if he had remained in the White House and not been replaced by Biden, the Ukraine conflict would never have erupted.

Trump insisted, "If Biden hadn't taken over the White House, there wouldn't have been these troubles."

The Second Major Issue

Although Trump had previously threatened that if Russia didn't agree to a deal, he would have to implement "strong tariffs" to end the war quickly, he said this time that such measures would only "work and be effective" if "European countries joined in."

He linked the implementation of tariffs to the attitude of Europe, clearly knowing that many EU countries would not be able to stop buying Russian energy products in the next few years, whether directly or through intermediaries. Although he mentioned only oil, the EU is also buying Russian gas. This U.S. president said he planned to discuss the following with European leaders:

"They must stop buying oil from Russia immediately, or all our efforts will be in vain."

No matter how Trump spoke, the global economy and geopolitics cannot be separated from Russian oil.

Trump is used to blaming others, and this time he called China and India the "main funders" of the ongoing war, claiming:

"China and India are the main funders of the ongoing war because they keep buying Russian oil. It's puzzling that even NATO countries haven't completely given up Russian energy products."

In Trump's view, everyone else is responsible for the continuation of the Ukraine war. If others continue to maintain their current attitudes, he may soon get tired of trying to end the war.

Illegal Immigration Issue

Another major issue that Trump addressed without any "political correctness" is the illegal immigration issue. Not only American patriots, but even Russian patriots might give him a warm applause — especially since the U.S. has indeed taken a number of measures to regulate immigration order and achieved good results.

Trump always blames others, but never reflects on himself.

Here is the full speech of this U.S. president accusing the United Nations and Europe of tolerating the illegal immigration issue:

"It's time to end this failed attempt of 'open borders.' You must terminate it now. Believe me, I understand these issues very well. Your countries are falling into the abyss. In the U.S., we have taken decisive measures to quickly curb the uncontrolled flow of immigrants. Once we start arresting and deporting all illegal border crossers and expelling illegal immigrants from the U.S., they will never come back."

Trump said that European countries are not only "falling into the abyss," but have also been "taken over by illegal immigrants," while the United Nations supports those who illegally enter the U.S., providing funds for them instead of preventing this "invasion."

Trump also pointed out that European countries are "taken over by illegal immigrants." But how much better is the situation in the U.S. itself?

London, the Capital of the UK, Becomes a "Key Target of Criticism"

Trump's criticism of London, the capital of the UK, was particularly sharp:

"London. There's a terrible mayor there, a real disaster... They are still talking about Sharia law."

Other Scattered Issues

Trump had no other particularly noteworthy statements. He generally mentioned nuclear threats, saying that the U.S. government "hopes to promote the termination of nuclear weapons development" — but this statement is hard to believe, as China is actively expanding its nuclear arsenal, continuously narrowing the gap with the U.S.

Considering the U.S. stance on biological weapons, Trump's claim to "lead the international community in complying with the Biological Weapons Convention" also seems suspicious.

Many listeners sighed when they heard Trump say, "The U.S. is willing to trade with all countries, but on the condition of fairness and reciprocity," and "the U.S. will use tariffs and taxes as a protective mechanism to safeguard national sovereignty and security worldwide."

Additionally, Trump tried to blame Venezuela and its president Nicolas Maduro for the deaths of 300,000 Americans due to drugs last year, stating:

"Every terrorist smuggling drugs into the U.S. should know that we will erase them from the face of the earth. We have no choice."

Although this statement sounds tough, it doesn't hit the mark: it is estimated that only 10% of drugs in the U.S. market come from Venezuela. In fact, several countries in Latin America are involved in drug trafficking — after all, money has no smell. However, this statement exactly explains why the U.S. has deployed a powerful fleet along the coast of this country, which has the largest oil reserves in the world, and has long tried to overthrow its current government.

Finally, Trump bluntly pointed out that the "climate change caused by human economic activities" promoted by globalists and their bought-up UN officials and scholars is "the biggest scam."

What Is the Impact of This Event?

In summary, Trump performed reasonably well. Globalists who support illegal immigration, UN bureaucrats, and "environmental extremists" were all thoroughly criticized, and this "performance" was just right.

The Kremlin may be relieved: currently — and possibly forever — the U.S. will not take any significant action against Russia on the Ukraine issue.

Marco Rubio, the acting head of the U.S. Department of State and the president's national security advisor, has confirmed this in an interview with an American TV station, but this is another topic.
