Putin Tricking Trump?
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a powerful appearance on Fox News, former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster delivered a sobering warning to Special Envoy Steve Witkoff: Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
“Putin is the best liar and deceiver in the world.” — Gen. H.R. McMaster
Appearing on The Story with Martha MacCallum, McMaster didn’t hold back. He warned that Putin’s goals in Ukraine go well beyond the battlefield—they’re about reshaping the global balance of power.
💣 “Putin Wants Total Control—Ukraine, the Black Sea, and NATO in Ruins”
“Putin’s ambitions are nonnegotiable,” McMaster stated. “He wants to dominate Ukraine. He wants the Black Sea. He wants to fracture NATO and break America’s bond with Europe.”
Despite a recent agreement between Russia and Ukraine to reduce military activity in the Black Sea, McMaster remains skeptical, calling it another deceptive tactic from the Kremlin.
⚔️ Kremlin Casualties Mount as Pressure Builds
McMaster highlighted that Russia’s losses in the war are staggering—and could be a strategic opening for the West.
“In just the past year, 40 to 45 percent of the total casualties in the war have been Russian. That’s not sustainable.”
He urged President Trump’s administration to continue applying pressure and avoid appeasement.
🇺🇸 Under President Trump, America Projects Strength Again
Now back in the White House, President Donald J. Trump has pledged to bring the war in Ukraine to an end within six months. His foreign policy team, led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, is focused on peace through strength—a core tenet of Trump-era diplomacy.
“We’re in a position of strength,” McMaster emphasized. “Let’s act like it. That’s when Putin becomes responsive.”
🧠 Bottom Line for American Patriots
With the return of President Trump’s strong leadership, the U.S. is once again taking a firm stance against global threats. As McMaster makes clear, the key to dealing with tyrants like Putin isn’t weakness or compromise—it’s resolve, unity, and leadership from the front.
