Would there have been a war in Ukraine if Trump had been in power?

Whether there will be a war or not depends largely on the will of the political leaders. Some are conflict loving. Again, many people avoid war. Analysts have blamed the West, especially the United States, for the Ukraine-Russia war. The war began with Ukraine's bid to join nato, a US-led military alliance.

And Washington has given all kinds of provocative statements to advance Ukraine in this conflict. And all this has happened under the leadership of US President Joe Biden. After coming to power, Biden's various actions against China, Russia and Iran have also been widely criticized.

At the moment, many Americans have raised the question, but have they elected the wrong president? Former US President Donald Trump himself said that if he was in power, the world would never have seen the Ukraine-Russia war.

The question is, if Trump was in power, could this war really have been avoided? In addition to the answer to this question, a report has tried to highlight the anti-war issues of Trump's administration.

Almost two-thirds of Americans believe that the Ukraine-Russia war would not have happened if Donald Trump had been president of the United States. The Harvard Center for American Political Studies–Harris Poll released a survey shortly after the start of Russia's military operations in Ukraine.

Citing a survey, British media The Daily Mail said in a report that 62 percent of Americans think that Trump is more qualified than Biden as president.

And if Trump was US President instead of Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin would never have attacked Ukraine. As for the reason, 59 percent of Americans think that Putin launched such an aggressive attack in the first place because of the weakness of President Biden.

How Trump Avoided War

Immediately after the war, Trump himself claimed that he would not have allowed the war in Ukraine if he had been in power. He even highlighted how this conflict could have been avoided in his speech. Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin often threatened nuclear war. It has become a normal thing now.

The former US president claims that if he was in power, he could have handled Putin with a completely different strategy. He said that Putin threatened nuclear war mainly to scare other countries. And because the countries are afraid of Putin's continued threat, the Russian president has been able to start military operations in Ukraine. That's what Trump believes.

In an interview, what Trump would have done if he was in the place of the current US President Joe Biden, he said that he would have warned Putin about the military capabilities of the United States in the beginning. And at any cost he would prevent the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Trump's anti-war stance

Donald Trump is avoiding a bloody conflict in the end even though he is involved in negotiations with various countries including North Korea, China, Iran. Rather, he made several agreements with arch-rival countries during his rule.

Trump recently claimed in a public meeting that he is the only US president in four decades, during whose tenure the US has not been involved in a bloody conflict with any country.

Averted war in North Korea

North Korea has been conducting missile tests one after the other in recent times. Trump and North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un also gave threats from the war of words to the final threats even during the time of the former US President Donald Trump. However, the relationship between the two leaders was mostly limited to tweets and statements.

Trump warned to destroy North Korea in 2017 after being elected US President. On the other hand, North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong Un counter-warned that the US has the ability to attack anywhere.

But despite all this, Trump made history by meeting Kim. Trump and Kim have met face-to-face a total of three times during Trump's regime. In 2018, after the two leaders' historic meeting in Singapore, Trump said the two leaders were in love with each other.

The two leaders met for the second time in Vietnam. After that, former President Trump visited his country to meet with Kim, making history again. The then US President Donald Trump also signed an agreement with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the first round of meetings in Singapore.

In that meeting, the two leaders signed an agreement to completely denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. Kim then said the two leaders had put the past behind them and met in a historic meeting. He said that the world will see a big change. Kim also thanked Trump for agreeing to the meeting.

However, some controversy arose over the agreement. Because, after that meeting, nothing was said about how and when North Korea will start denuclearization. However, it was also reported that North Korea started denuclearization as per the agreement.

At that time, the media reported that North Korea had started work to destroy the nuclear launch facility. Images sent by North Korea's Sohae Satellite Launch Center show that the country has begun destroying a rocket site in the northeast.

In the light of the photo sent by Sohai from space, US-based monitoring group '38 North' said that Pyongyang has started working according to the promise made by Kim Jong Un in the meeting with Trump.

Analysts say that Donald Trump managed to avoid a certain war with a country like North Korea, which has nuclear power. What's more, even after leaving the White House, Trump has maintained personal contact with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

That's what the media says. Such news is published amid renewed international concern over North Korea's ballistic missile tests.

Trump was limited to the trade war with China

Former US President Donald Trump was in a multifaceted competition with China, the big rival of the United States in global geopolitics. Trump called China's claim over South China Sea border rights illegal. The trade war also started between the two countries due to the imposition of tariffs on Chinese products.

Trump also banned popular Chinese apps like TikTok and WeChat in the United States. The Trump and Xi administration have engaged in a war of words for various reasons, including the blacklisting of telecom giant Huawei.

But even then, Donald Trump avoided a bloody conflict through diplomatic activities. On the other hand, the current reality is very different. China's relationship with the Biden administration has reached an all-time low over the Taiwan issue.

Trump's initiative to end the war in Afghanistan

In the long 20-year war in Afghanistan, about 2500 American soldiers and approximately 240 thousand Afghan citizens had to give their lives. It cost about two trillion dollars.

International analysts say that the United States did not engage in a new war with any country during the former US President Donald Trump's tenure; Instead, Donald Trump took the initiative to end the long two-decade war in Afghanistan for the first time.

A historic deal was signed between the US and the Taliban in Qatar to end the Afghan war. Through which the way of negotiation between the conflicting parties within Afghanistan is basically opened. According to the agreement, the United States will withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.

Both sides expressed satisfaction that such an agreement could be reached around the long war-torn country. The entire contribution of which is Trump's. Later, following the path of Trump, the current US President Joe Biden stopped the war by withdrawing US troops. However, his administration could not avoid a defensive clash.

Trump on normalizing Arab-Israeli relations

Donald Trump also played a mediating role in breaking Israel's hostile relations with Arab countries. The day of Israel's historic agreement with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in 2020 was called the dawn of a new Middle East by the then US President Trump.

The two Gulf countries, the United Arab Emirates and Israel, signed an agreement to normalize relations between them. The deal was brokered by the Trump administration. Analysts say that the Russia-Ukraine war has shocked the whole world.

They also think that the current Biden administration is responsible for this. And in this case, analysts are drawing the example of Trump's regime. Said, because of Biden's diplomatic failure and short-sighted thinking, the world is on the brink of the third world war today.
