In a dramatic speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, former President Donald Trump issued a stark warning that the world is on the brink of a catastrophic conflict. Trump, addressing the audience at Fiserv Forum, claimed that the "planet" is teetering on the edge of "World War Three," highlighting ongoing wars and potential conflicts across multiple regions.

 

"Then there is an international crisis the likes of which the world has seldom been part of," the GOP nominee stated. He pointed to current wars in Europe and the Middle East, as well as tensions in Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and across Asia, describing the situation as unprecedented. "War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia, and our planet is teetering on the edge of World War Three," he added. "This will be a war like no other."

 

On the campaign trail, Trump, 78, has frequently claimed that he could resolve Russia's war against Ukraine in a single day and has publicly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to swiftly conclude the conflict with Hamas. He has consistently blamed President Joe Biden, 81, for the current global conflicts, arguing that they would not have occurred under his administration.

 

"I will end every single international crisis that the current administration has created — including the horrible war with Russia and Ukraine — which would have never happened if I were president — and the war caused by the attack on Israel — which would have never happened if I were president," Trump declared in his keynote address.

 

Trump also emphasized his record of not initiating any new wars during his presidency, claiming, "There was peace in Europe and the Middle East." He contrasted his tenure with those of his predecessors, criticizing former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama for previous Russian territorial expansions. "Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea.

 

Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine," Trump said. "Under President Trump, Russia took nothing," he added. The former president argued that the Biden administration’s chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan has emboldened Russian aggression, Hamas attacks on Israel, and Chinese military posturing. "Emboldened by that disaster, Russia invaded Ukraine. Israel endured the worst attack in its history. Now China is circling Taiwan, and Russian warships and nuclear submarines are operating 60 miles off our coasts in Cuba," Trump contended.

 

Trump's speech, filled with dire warnings and sharp criticisms of the current administration, underscored his campaign's focus on foreign policy and national security as critical issues for the upcoming election.

What is this fear mongering?   Biden is a war arsonists.  He sets the fires.  Why is he not helping our best friendly country in the Middle East?  Why is there a Hamas wing of the Democrat Party?  Why does he need the Muslim and the River to the Sea crowd in MI and other places.  There were no wars started under Trump.  When we have a strong leader and a strong military, the world is safer.  Are you really not very smart or just uneducated?  Instead of funding our enemy like Biden is doing with Iran, Trump heard from Obama that it will take YEARS to defeat ISIS and Trump did this is less than 6 months.  Trump did not lie and said he put NATO together when he was 6 years old.  I guess you bought into this BS from Biden?

"I will end every single international crisis that the current administration has created — including the horrible war with Russia and Ukraine — which would have never happened if I were president — and the war caused by the attack on Israel — which would have never happened if I were president, -- and the Worldwide IT Outage caused by a Microsoft Update Yesterday-- which would have never happened if I were president!"

Nonsense. Anyone who accuses Biden of not supporting Israel has an infirm grasp on reality. And where did Obama claim it would take years to defet Isis. Trump just continued with the campaign that was well underway before he took office. I have no idea what you mean by the claim that Trump put NATO together when he was 6 weeks old.

And why would any other country be afraid of Trump since he claims he won't militarily intervene in any military ventures outside of the USA. His comment that the US wouldn't defend Taiwan because it stole the chip business from the USA is proof of how dangerous his ignorance is.

This pile of Trump bullsh*t must have tired him out so much that his speech at the close of the RNC convention was so dull, boring and meandering like a river that it put some of the delegates and attendees to sleep. Or maybe that oversize bandage covering the little nick on his right ear confused his usually confused train of thought more than usual.

Noteworthy: Many believe that his closing speech may have just wiped out the gains that he got from the assassination attempt.

Trump is utterly delusional. Justin Bieber has more influence over Putin than he does. He is owned by Vlad. Bought and paid for and no doubt highly compromised. Putin is a master at the art of Kompromat. 

 

He was beaten by Xi, in every negotiation they entered into. Same applies to MBS and Kim. 

 

This man loves to throw red meat to his crowd, and will say anything. He is never held responsible for his nonsense and his supporters never question his garbled and nearly incoherent tripe. 

 

Trump is likely the most dangerous man in the world.

It sounds like Trump wants to give Israel permission to eliminate Hamas in Gaza completely. Which would entail thousands more civilian casualties.

 

Ending wars by escalating wars usually turns out badly.

And how exactly does he plan to end these wars in just a short time ?

Would be nice to know ... or is it all the usual hot air before the election ?

 

The world has too many crazy autocrats with nukes already ... do we need one more ?

Did any of you Trump fans watch his speech in its entirety?

 

 

I considered Trump the worst President America ever had in modern history, until Biden came along. The world is now a much more dangerous place than ever before.

 

In my opinion, it’s not Biden himself that is creating the mess but the team around him. They are the ones directing policy. Biden is just and old man being told what to do and what to say. And like any typical old folk, he screws up that part now and then. He just can’t really grasp what’s happening around the world.

 

The conflict in Ukraine is, imo, America’s push to expand NATO eastwards to encircle and contain Russia, identical to what it’s trying to do in East Asia against China. It is also trying to expand Nato into Asia. It failed to get the response it wanted during the 2019 riots in Hkg, couldn’t provoke China into a military confrontation over Taiwan and is now using its lapdog, PH, into provoking China to retaliate. If not for America, there won’t be any tension in this region. Fortunately, most of the global majority can clearly see what’s happening.

 

So America has gone from having its worst president to an even worse one and will most likely next have the most odious president the world has ever seen.

Ahhh it is Putin who armed his prison population and sent them to his neighbor to rape kill and loot……the Ukrainians asked for the tools to defend themselves we obliged as any moral nation with the means should do the USA must not retreat creating a vacuum for the bad actors to fill

Thanks, good to know the the PRC claim to having sovereignty over most of the South China Sea is not the cause of conflict with Philippines ... Vietnam ... Malaysia ... Brunai ... Taiwan ... Indonesia.

You were doing so well there, till you let your dislike of Trump take over.

 

Given you don't know what will happen while he is president again, you must base your opinion on the last time. No started wars, a good economy, giving the boot up the jaxy to NATO countries unwilling to pay their fair share, an exit from Afghanistan planned, a reduction in illegals on the southern border isn't such a bad record.

I don't get what he did that causes such obsessive hatred.

Apologies, that was a quote from Gweiloman, not Wrwest.

My comment applies to Gweiloman.

 

 

The scary thing is that Trump himself believes everything he says, that all of this never would have happened if he were president, and that he will immediately end all wars and chaos when he becomes president again. The even scarier thing is that his delusional MAGA base also believes him.

The political simpletons like JD Vance who advocate all out war to solve a problem, don't have enough vision to understand the concept of blowback, and to realize that if Israel were to escalate the massacre, it would simply lead to decades upon decades of blowback, and significantly increased levels of terrorism in the region.

It wasn't an MS outage.  It was a Crowdstrike outage.  We'll never know the whole truth, but that does paint it in a different light.

I tend to disagree. He perfectly knows he's lying.

As to his MAGA base, a share of it also know he's lying but don't care.

I guess, given his evident mental deterioration, that whatever Trump used to believe about what he was saying, at this point he probably believes it when he's saying it. Which wouldn't stop him from saying and believing the opposite if that would advance his interests.

Actually, if you want to see the shocking extent of Trump's mental deterioration, you could do worse than go to this interview he had with Barbara Walters in 1990. She asks him some really tough questions but his affect is subdued and unruffled. He offers his rebuttals in a way that is calm and respectful. What a difference senility makes!  Or, maybe, whereas before he was self-possessed, now he's merely possessed.
