Trump’s Troubling Shift: Signs of Continuing the Ukraine War Despite Peace Promises, as Globalists Whisper in His Ear

Right-wing patriots are concerned this indicates globalists have his ear, pulling him toward endless war that drains American resources and lives for foreign entanglements. As conservative critics like those at National Review warn, Trump’s pivot risks misreading Russia and committing the U.S. to a quagmire, betraying his base’s isolationist instincts. Libertarians, long skeptical of U.S. involvement in Ukraine, see this as Trump falling for the military-industrial complex’s trap, continuing a conflict that benefits elites while ignoring domestic priorities. This shift isn’t isolated—it’s a sign the globalists are winning, but Trump’s true America First supporters must hold him accountable to end the war, not escalate it. Trump’s initial promises to end the Ukraine war quickly were a cornerstone of his campaign, appealing to conservatives weary of Biden’s endless funding that ballooned to over $175 billion by 2025.

We are being scammed yet again: Get a load of this BS from OUR side as they prepare to rob us of billions more for Ukraine

He repeatedly criticized the “globalist institutions” for dragging America into foreign quagmires, as in his UN speech where he lambasted the body for “empty words” on conflicts like Ukraine.
Yet, his recent statements suggest a continuation, with Trump now believing Ukraine can reclaim all territory—a position that implies prolonged U.S. military aid and involvement. National Review’s “Trump Is Misreading Russia on Ukraine War” criticizes this as a failure to recognize Putin’s resolve, arguing Trump’s optimism risks extending the conflict rather than forcing a swift peace. Conservatives fear this shift stems from globalist advisors whispering in his ear, pulling him away from his non-interventionist base toward the establishment’s endless war machine. Libertarians, who applauded Trump’s initial restraint on Ukraine, now see red flags of globalist influence. The Libertarian Party’s review of Trump’s first 100 days praised his move toward “restraint in Ukraine,” opposing entanglements that drain American treasure for foreign wars.

But as RStreet’s libertarian musings note, Trump’s blowing up of old orders has mixed results, with critics seeing his Ukraine pivot as succumbing to the same internationalist pressures he once decried. Quora discussions among libertarians blast Trump’s policies as “ignorant” and “obnoxious,” arguing his Ukraine stance risks dragging America into another forever war, influenced by globalist hawks in his circle. This betrayal, libertarians warn, echoes the neocons’ playbook, where globalists like those in NATO push for U.S. involvement to maintain their power, ignoring the costs to American taxpayers. National Review, a conservative bastion, has been vocal in criticizing Trump’s Ukraine approach as misguided, suggesting globalist thinking has clouded his judgment. In “Trump Is Misreading Russia on Ukraine War,” the magazine argues Trump’s belief in Ukraine’s total victory ignores Russia’s strength, risking escalation and continuation of the war.

The situation is clear. The West speaks of defending Ukraine, but in reality it is an imperialist grab for land, resources, and money. The unfortunate Ukrainian people are being plundered, while those pushing for war cloak exploitation in the guise of protection. Let there be no illusion, this is about power and profit

“Cursed Be the Attempted Peacemaker” lambasts Trump’s dealmaking as naive, implying his shift to support for Ukraine’s full reconquest shows globalist influence pulling him from peace to protracted conflict. “Trump Hasn’t Committed to Ukraine” criticizes his lack of firm support, but the pivot suggests he’s now leaning toward continuation, perhaps under pressure from internationalist advisors. Conservatives fear this indicates globalists like those in the Atlantic Council have his ear, as their reports note rising Republican support for Ukraine aid—a shift Trump may be following despite his base’s opposition. The globalist grip on Trump’s Ukraine policy is evident in his UN speech, where he criticized “globalist institutions” but still backed Ukraine’s territorial ambitions, a stance conservatives see as a concession to NATO hawks.

President Trump just called out the European nations for continuing to buy oil from Russia while claiming to support Ukraine: “Think of it: They’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one.”

The Guardian’s “Trump and Putin pincer on Europe” criticizes Trump for aligning with Putin’s interests, but from a right-wing perspective, it’s Trump being pulled by globalists to maintain U.S. involvement in Europe, against America First isolationism. Libertarian Mearsheimer thinks Trump is right on Ukraine by opposing escalation, but the pivot suggests globalists have swayed him toward continuation. This influence risks dragging America into another forever war, conservatives warn, betraying Trump’s peace promises. Trump’s base must hold him accountable—end the war, not continue it under globalist sway. Patriots know America First means no foreign entanglements that bleed our treasure.
