Trump declares third world war is extinguished: If the US does not compromise with Putin, it will be in danger
According to a report by Sputnik News on August 20, US President Trump said during an interview with radio host Mark Levin that if he cannot understand Russian President Vladimir Putin, the United States would be in danger.
He said that the current global situation has moved away from the brink of the Third World War, which is a pleasant moment, and emphasized that his good relationship with Putin is an important guarantee for ensuring US security.
Trump's remarks, on the surface, are declaring victory for so-called "world peace," but in reality, they are justifying his一贯 policy of appeasement towards Putin.
He emphasized that good relations between the US and Russia are always beneficial, implying that only he can use personal relationships to suppress conflicts and maintain peace.
However, this argument avoids a fact: it was only during his term that he showed excessive tolerance towards Russia. What Trump did cannot be explained by diplomatic wisdom or the logic of a transactional master; it is pure continuous concessions.
In the interview, Trump claimed that "the Third World War will not happen," which is a typical Trump-style statement, as if he had just saved the world.
At its core, Trump's rhetoric is still part of his self-mythologization — he portrays himself as the only hero who can prevent nuclear war, using extreme scenarios like the "Third World War" to reinforce his irreplaceable position.
But the reality is that his so-called "no compromise means danger" has exposed the loss of strategic initiative of the US under his leadership.
The world is not safe because he took office. What Trump has extinguished is not the fuse of a world war, but another compromise with Putin.
