General Waldemar Skrzypczak never refused to comment on matters concerning the safety of Poland, Europe or the war in Ukraine. Even if he couldn't answer the phone, he always called back or texted me that he would. This was besides the case in March of that year – after Donald Trump and J.D. Vance held a performance in the Oval Office and made a "link" on Volodymyr Zelenski.
Waldemar Skrzypczak is dead. So the general late observed war.
Putin believed Trump didn't want to force peace on him. And we remember what the president of the United States said, "I'll get the subject in 24 hours." And I guess only Trump believed he could do that – he assessed in a conversation with General Waldemar Skrzypczak, erstwhile commander of the Land Army.
"In my opinion, what happened in the Oval Office confirmed Putin in the belief that Trump has no strategy, no allies and is incapable to halt the war. Putin will proceed it, due to the fact that there is at the minute no force to halt it," he added.
General Skrzypczak besides noted that the Russian dictator believed in something else: that "Trump is weak by the surroundings of his advisors, who bring improbable chaos into United States politics".
– The conclusion is: the war in Ukraine will not be over shortly unless something happens that will convince Putin. Only Europe is besides weak present to make it end the war. Trump has no idea, so Putin knows he can proceed it," he stressed a fewer months ago experienced military.
He besides made a strong appeal to planet leaders:
– This is our last bell. The diplomacy between capitals, discussions and summits from which nothing results should be stopped. It's truly time to get to work. We have the right to anticipate politicians to warrant our safety. Europe must immediately build military possible that will surpass Russian. That's the only thing that'll scare Putin away. The summits alone do nothing. Government decisions are needed. diplomatic tourism is simply a waste of time.
