President Donald Trump set Russian President Vladimir Putin on a 50 -day clock. To make Putin a deal over Ukraine, Trump has a new plan: massive air defenses are supported by the Trump doctrine, where Rade Wars wins. But what is really at stake is the unique vision of Trump for American strength and prosperity.
In the Oval Office with NATO Secretary -General Mark Rutte on Monday, July 14, Trump announced more US Aid to Ukraine and a 100% rate to hit Russian oil clients such as China at the beginning of September.
“I use trade for many things … It’s good for settling wars,” said Trump. Trump called the example of how he used trade threats to simmer India and Pakistan in May.
Trump’s daring hinge on Ukraine sends a big signal
As he said on Monday: “The only one we have not been able to reach is Russia.”

So Trump has set up the heat. The 100% rates would stor the trade of $ 240 billion Russia-China and conquered to India, Brazil and others. This rate seems to differ from the potential secondary sanctions of 500% in the Senate Act partly sponsored by Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham And Connecticut-Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, who sees Trump as a backup plan.
The second part of Trump’s new strategy is to take Putin profit from the massive air barages of drones and missiles that attack Ukraine. It is important that Trump has now put his personal support behind the help to Ukraine in the form of an increase in air defenses.

Trump and Rutte discussed no less than 17 Patriot Air Defense batteries. That is amazing, given that Ukraine now has six batteries in use, including three from the US and others sent from Germany, Poland and Romania. Patriot is the gold standard for air defense. It is a complete obligation of Trump and NATO to stop Putin’s brutal war.
Trump also waves Tomahawk Land Attack missiles like a stiletto in a street fight. Tlams could quickly decimate the Russian Air Force. Trump says that he will not give Ukraine Tlams or other long-range missiles that could just touch goals in Russia, but then we all remember the head-fake prior to the B-2 attack on Iran, right?
Russia has taken 100,000 victims since January for meager constituents. With Trump who has NATO empowerment, Putin focuses on the Power Grid and Infrastructure of Ukraine alongside random terrorist attacks. The salvos consist mainly of Iranian Shahed drones, some of which have now been made in Russia, together with Lokvogels. Each barrage includes a handful of weapons that are difficult to intercept: Iskander ballistic missiles, KH-101 Cruise missiles and even old Soviet air defense rockets that are converted for basic attack. The bad news is that Russia literally has thousands of older raketty types.

The air defenders of Ukraine are top, due to considerable help from the US, NATO partners and others. Advanced monitoring and tracking have enabled Ukraine to shoot most of Putin’s air weapons, but the satiety attacks of this spring have been a challenge.

Air defense is a group effort. The joint US-Norwegian nasams use the converted AIM-120-12-hunter aircraft rocket and have a success rate of 94%.
Another favorite is the “Frankenstein Sam” that combines old Buk-Launchers in Soviet style that have been wired again by smart Americans to dismiss our rockets such as the Sea Sparrow. Australia has deployed its advanced E-7 Wedgegetail Radar Surveillance surface to control drone and raketta programs for interception. If worse comes the worst, a few NATO partner F-35s could search the air.
Trump has his own deadline, ‘no loyalty to someone’ in Peace Deal in Ukraine-Russia

Well done, the air defenses and TLIM threats will reduce the damage to Ukraine and protect Europe against the ongoing structure of Russia too. There is nothing that NATO fellow people want more than to protect their strategic ports, railways and capitals against any threat of Russian drones and missiles.

Air defense also closes back to the primary goal of Trump, a cease -the fire to stop the murder and a peace agreement that will leave Ukraine with a viable economy. He has already shifted more of the financial burden to NATO and is a good sign that the European Union has presented $ 116 billion on Wednesday for the economic reconstruction of Ukraine.
Make no mistake. This is a very high effort from President Trump. Success with pressing secondary sanctions will take agency behind the scenes and take a little luck. If his stratagem works, Trump will have proven the duo of rates and selective military power can beat the Russia-China Cabal. America will be in a strong position to re -configure our military attitude and economic strategy to face China’s global threat.
