Trump’s gamble at the UN

Trump’s move to align with Russia on the UN vote is a bold, pragmatic play—straight out of his “peace through strength” playbook. On February 24, 2025, the U.S. rejected a European-backed resolution condemning Russia’s actions in Ukraine and instead pushed a neutral one focused on ending the war, not pointing fingers.

Critics are howling, but this isn’t about caving to Putin—it’s about cutting through the endless sanctimonious posturing at the UN.

Trump logic: America First

Trump’s team sees the last three years of resolutions as feel-good noise that didn’t stop a single bomb. Trump logic: use what works—diplomacy with Russia—to end a war draining everyone.

The vote passed 93-18 in the General Assembly, with 65 abstentions, showing the world’s tired of the stalemate too.

We believe that Trump’s not betraying allies; he’s forcing a reset to get results—peace talks in Riyadh are already rolling. That’s leadership, not surrender. May his gamble work.
