Trump’s recent remarks about warning Putin not to invade Ukraine underscore the strength and clarity he brings to foreign policy. Trump is not an isolationist, nor is he the naive idealist that both Democrats and libertarians try to paint him as. Unlike those who cower behind pacifism or focus exclusively on domestic issues, Trump understands that to maintain a strong America, you must engage with the world—and more importantly, engage from a position of strength. When Trump told Putin he’d hit Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine, it wasn’t just empty rhetoric. It was a clear message that there would be serious consequences. This is why, under Trump, Russia didn’t make any moves to expand its borders.

Look at the pattern. Russia invaded Georgia under Bush, Crimea under Obama, and eastern Ukraine under Biden. But what did they do under Trump? Absolutely nothing. Russia knew better than to test Trump because he had already demonstrated his willingness to act. Trump's cyber operations targeting Russia's power grid sent a message loud and clear: aggression will be met with serious consequences. This wasn’t just saber-rattling, this was real power projection. Trump warned Germany about its dangerous dependency on Russian energy long before the rest of Europe woke up to the fact that they were feeding Putin's war machine. Meanwhile, Biden is still fumbling to control the fallout from weak leadership.

And let’s talk about the so-called conservatives out there who are openly supporting Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine. These are the same voices that claim Trump was “soft” on Russia, completely missing the point. Trump’s strategy wasn’t about coddling dictators; it was about managing threats through diplomacy backed by power. Trump’s refusal to destabilize nations unnecessarily didn’t mean he was weak—it meant he was smart. Under his leadership, Russia didn’t dare push the envelope because they knew he wasn’t afraid to act when necessary. Yet, some right-wing YouTubers/commenters (some paid by Russia, Iran, china as you know) are parroting this nonsensical narrative, portraying Putin’s brutal massacres as something to cheer for. They’re either ignorant or knowingly selling out America’s future.

Here’s what people need to understand in my opinion: Trump was never a puppet of Putin, nor was he an isolationist like some libertarians fantasize. This is Democratic propaganda, pure and simple, and unfortunately, even some of the right-wing isolationists have fallen into this trap. Trump’s presidency was marked by strategic interventions that prevented wars, not endless entanglements. He doesn’t believe in the leftist fantasy of appeasement, nor does he share the libertarian delusion that America can just turn inward and ignore the world. That’s how you end up with more chaos, more wars, and more aggressive authoritarian regimes.

World leaders, especially dictators like Putin and Xi, prefer a weak America. They’d rather have someone like Harris in office—a president who plays by the rules of the woke, globalist agenda. Why? Because a weak America helps them advance their dream of a multipolar world, a world where Russia, China, and Iran carve out spheres of influence without opposition. This is exactly what the World Economic Forum pushes for—a global landscape where America steps back, and these authoritarian regimes step forward. Trump is the last real barrier to this vision, and that’s why they were terrified of him staying in office and they are trying to kill him now.

The truth is, Trump stands as the last hope for restoring American strength, both domestically and internationally. He’s not the dictators' friend that the Democrats paint him as, but he also refuses to let America retreat into isolationism like some libertarians wish. He understands that a strong America, based on freedom and capitalism, must also be an engaged America. And if enemies test that strength, as he showed with Russia, they’ll find out quickly that Trump isn’t afraid to hit back hard.
