Trump Rejects Iran Ceasefire Proposal, Plans 'Very Major Attack,' Cancels at Last Minute (May 2026)

Trump rejected Iran's peace proposal, called the ceasefire 'on massive life support,' and had a 'very major attack' planned before Gulf allies talked him out of it hours before execution. Congress was not consulted. Vance publicly declared the US 'locked and loaded.' The episode reveals war-making conducted entirely at presidential whim, with no legal or democratic check.

Ukraine Aid Freeze and Capitulation to Russia: Pressuring Zelensky, Suspending Military Support

Trump's second-term Ukraine policy represented a fundamental reversal from the U.S. position that Russian aggression must not be rewarded with territorial gains. The administration froze intelligence sharing and weapons deliveries to Ukraine, sent officials including Steve Witkoff to meet with Putin without Ukrainian representation, and publicly pressured Zelensky to negotiate terms that Ukraine and European allies considered capitulation. The Oval Office meeting on February 28, 2025 became an international incident when Trump and Vice President Vance confronted Zelensky before cameras, accusing him of ingratitude and warning he was 'gambling with World War III.' Zelensky left Washington without a security guarantee or continued military aid.
