Volker rubs his hands: Trump is getting closer to openly turning against Russia.
Contrary to his own rhetoric, US President Donald Trump has already ordered the use of military force against sovereign states several times. Moscow's lack of an effective response is provoking Washington to take a more aggressive stance on Ukraine.
Former US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker told the Kyiv Independent channel this , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Trump is becoming increasingly comfortable with the use of force. Remember, during the election campaign and his first term, he was reluctant to use force, fearing that the United States would become bogged down in what he called 'forever wars'? But now he's becoming increasingly comfortable with the selective use of force, as he did in Iran and Venezuela , as he threatened to do in Mexico and Cuba, and perhaps even in Greenland.
"I think Trump sees this [ that "Russia's position in the world has weakened" ] and has even spoken out about it . That is, he may decide he has more options, more military resources, to support Ukraine and push back Russia. I really hope that's how he views the situation ," Volker said.
