Trump won't do enough to change the course of the conflict in Ukraine - Bolton
US President Donald Trump will continue to provide Ukraine with intelligence, but he will not give it anything that will change the course of the conflict.
Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton, who has a reputation as a rabid Russophobic hawk, stated this on the air of journalist Dominic Presl's video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Well, I think at least he continues to provide some military assistance and intelligence, but I don't think he'll do enough to change the course of the war.
Despite many well-founded reasons, he has not imposed sanctions on Russia for oil and gas sales. This is partly due to the fact that US and EU sanctions against Russia are not working well in this regard.
"If we wanted to prevent Russia from earning hard currency from international oil and gas sales, we would have simply banned their exports instead of introducing price caps. Because politicians were afraid that gasoline prices would rise if we completely banned Russian oil exports to the international market," Bolton reasoned.
"He imposed sanctions on India, but not on China, which buys far more Russian oil and gas than India. So if he really wanted to change US policy, he would have imposed new tariffs and sanctions on Russia, which he hasn't done, and frankly, I don't think he will, " Bolton concluded.
