Trump’s Russian Pivot Is a Lie—It’s a Scripted Delay Meant to Bleed Ukraine

VOICE FROM UKRAINE

Friends,

Please hear me clearly today: do not let the headlines mislead you. What we are witnessing isn’t some unexpected pivot or courageous moment from Donald Trump. It’s a performance. A coordinated act. And it’s been planned this way from the beginning.

This is what I’ve been warning you about for weeks. It’s part of Bleeding Ukraine—a strategy of delay, confusion, manipulation, and slow destruction. While the media spins tales of Trump “flipping” on Russia, and NATO officials try to reassure us that everything is fine, the reality is far more dangerous. And far more deliberate.

What you’re watching now is not a shift in Trump’s allegiance. It’s a continuation of the same plan. One designed to buy time—for Putin. To drain Ukraine. And to demoralize everyone paying attention.

Let me explain exactly how this is playing out.

When Trump speaks, he’s not talking to the Russian people. They don’t hear him. His speeches are filtered, translated, repackaged. His press conferences don’t air live in Moscow. They air here, in America. Trump is talking to you.

Just like when Putin speaks, he isn’t talking to America. He’s talking to his own people. These two men are playing a dual-language con. Appeasing their bases while creating chaos in the middle. It’s scripted. It’s coordinated. And it’s working.

Today, Trump once again confirmed what I’ve been telling you all along—he’s not arming Ukraine to win. He’s arming them just enough to lose slowly.

• Trump confirmed he will not send long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

• He made it clear that he does not want Ukraine striking Moscow or St. Petersburg.

• He still hasn’t sent the Patriot missile systems Ukraine urgently needs.

• He continues to delay, stall, and second-guess every major weapons package.

• He’s allowing 50 more days of Russian attacks—open, unchecked—before any “consequences” even begin.

• And his maximum threat? A 100% tariff on Russian goods.

That’s right. A tariff.

As Ukrainians dig bodies out of the rubble, Trump’s idea of justice is a trade penalty—a line-item in an economic spreadsheet.

And today, standing in front of reporters, Trump said this:

“We’re not looking to escalate. We don’t want them hitting Russian cities. That’s not our fight.”

— Donald J. Trump, July 15, 2025

While bombs fall on Ukraine, Trump is a ghost.

He wants no fingerprints. He wants no consequences. He wants to appear tough while doing absolutely nothing. And the longer this drags on, the more his true strategy becomes clear: stall, demoralize, delay aid—and let Russia bleed Ukraine dry.

Don’t fall for the optics. Don’t buy the talking points.

The same media that’s now saying Trump “stood up” to Putin is the same media that told us the Mueller investigation would stop him. That said sanctions were “working.” That said “adults in the room” would contain him.

Where are those adults now?

This is a man who’s proudly said NATO is “obsolete,” who froze $400 million in aid to Ukraine back in 2019, and who now casually decides which cities Ukraine can and cannot defend. And he’s doing it while pretending to be a “peacemaker.”

He’s not just undermining our allies—he’s giving Russia a blueprint to win.

And while the White House spokesperson stumbles through questions and Congress argues over budgets, the lives lost each day are real. The trauma, the destruction, the slow suffocation of a democratic nation—that is the true cost of delay.

What’s worse is that this isn’t just foreign policy negligence. It’s active manipulation of U.S. systems—including the agencies we trust to protect civil rights and defend the rule of law.

That’s why I’m sounding the alarm again today.

I’ve been in the room. I’ve seen how Trump thinks. How he delays decisions just long enough to create chaos—only to then walk away clean-handed while blaming someone else. And I know the people still whispering in his ear. I know what they want.

This is not about policy. It’s about control.

It’s about using war, fear, and disinformation as weapons—against Ukraine, against democracy, and against you.

So now I’m asking you, from the bottom of my heart:

Do not look away.

We need to act. We need to push Congress. We need to demand more aid to Ukraine. We need to put pressure on the media to report the truth—not the spin. And we need to hold this administration accountable before it’s too late.

Because what’s happening overseas won’t stay overseas. It never does.

I’m not a pundit. I’m not a talking head reading headlines on a teleprompter. I’m someone who has lived this. Who sat at the table with the players. Who’s been targeted by the Trump machine and still chooses to speak.

Alex is in Ukraine dodging missile strikes.

I’m here, under the constant pressure of Trump’s DOJ.

And yet we show up every day—because if we don’t, no one else will.

This isn’t just a newsletter.

It’s a movement. It’s a family. It’s the resistance.

And we’re just getting started.
