Paul Craig Roberts: Trump's In DEEP Trouble And It's WAY Worse Than You Think

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:
  1. How effective has the EU's policy been in trying to lower Russian oil prices during the Ukraine conflict?
  2. Given statements from German intelligence alleging Russia wants to conquer Ukraine and threaten Europe, how should Russia respond to seemingly unreasonable Western leaders?
  3. How much of a challenge is the Ukraine situation for Donald Trump, considering domestic pressures and foreign policy expectations?


Paul Craig Roberts:
  1. The EU can't control global oil prices—only producers like Russia and Saudi Arabia can. European leaders lack competence, and high energy prices result from their own tax policies.
  2. Putin’s soft approach invites greater Western provocation, risking wider war. To stop escalation, he should act decisively—some even suggest dramatic moves like targeting NATO assets.
  3. Trump's bigger issue is domestic: mass illegal immigration, civil unrest, and a hostile Democrat establishment. Foreign policy is secondary to what he faces at home—a coordinated insurrection.
