The capture of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro could end up triggering, in turn, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/internacional\/20260313\/regimen-cuba-confirma-conversaciones-estados-unidos_395623.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the possible collapse of the Cuban communist dictatorship<\/a>, which is in serious trouble after ceasing to receive Venezuelan oil. However, <strong>these actions by Trump are not explained by an elaborate strategy: they simply reflect an attitude of strength<\/strong> that contrasts with the appeasement of these dictatorships by previous US presidents.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <strong>the absence of a well-developed strategy is clearly evident in Trump's attitude toward Russia<\/strong>, which, along with communist China, is the main partner in that \"axis of evil\" that also includes dictatorships like Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea. <a href=\"https:\/\/ofac.treasury.gov\/media\/935191\/download?inline\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Yesterday, the US government decided to ease sanctions on Russian oil imports<\/a>, <strong>an absurd decision that has rightly angered both Ukraine and several European countries allied with the US<\/strong>, who consider it a favor to Vladimir Putin. Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hungarianconservative.com\/articles\/current\/us-russian-oil-sanctions-iran-war-energy-crisis-eu-hungary\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Viktor Orb\u00e1n, Putin's friend and Ukraine's enemy, has celebrated Trump's decision<\/a>. This alone should be enough to understand the US president's mistake.<\/p>\n<p><big>A $10 billion injection into the Russian coffers<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Let us remember that <strong>Russia has been waging a war of aggression against Ukraine<\/strong> for four years, systematically attacking the civilian population and committing countless war crimes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyivpost.com\/post\/71897\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The President of Ukraine has calculated that Trump's decision could inject $10 billion into the Russian coffers<\/a>, <strong>money that Putin will use to continue killing Ukrainian civilians<\/strong>. With this incomprehensible decision, which serves to relieve the aggressor power in this war, <strong>Trump is not doing peace a favor: what he is doing is helping Russia to continue its invasion.<\/strong> But this clumsy decision will not only help Russia.<\/p>\n<p><big>The White House ignores warnings that Moscow is helping Tehran<\/big><\/p>\n<p>This Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2026\/mar\/12\/iran-using-russian-drone-tactics-uk-defence-secretary-john-healey\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the United Kingdom stated that Russia is supporting the Iranian dictatorship in its war with the United States and Israel<\/a>. This is not the first report we have of Russian involvement in this conflict. A week ago, it was revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/03\/06\/russia-iran-intelligence-us-targets\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Moscow is providing Tehran with intelligence to attack US targets<\/a>. Given this information, the most astonishing thing was seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/2436054290146336\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the White House's reaction of downplaying it<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Politics\/russia-denies-giving-iran-intelligence-us-troops-middle\/story?id=130940730\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ultimately denying that this was the case<\/a> simply because Putin had allegedly told them so in a phone conversation with Trump this Monday. \"We can believe them,\" said Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to Moscow, about the Russians.<\/p>\n<p><big>Lifting sanctions on Russia for helping Iran kill U.S. soldiers<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It's important to remember that <strong>the Kremlin has lied numerous times in recent years<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/as.com\/us\/us\/2022\/02\/17\/actualidad\/1645124865_862949.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">even denying that it would invade Ukraine a week before launching it<\/a>. If anything has been proven so far, it's that <strong>Putin's dictatorship always lies and has no credibility whatsoever.<\/strong> Until now, Witkoff has played a deplorable role in the contacts between Washington and Moscow, always favoring Putin and acting as a whitewasher for the Russian dictator in the West. Now he's doing it again, and Trump continues to listen to him, now even <strong>ordering Russia to be relieved while Putin helps the terrorist regime in Iran kill US soldiers<\/strong>. It's utter nonsense.<\/p>\n<p><big>There's no strategy behind something like this: it's all improvisation.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Supposedly, Trump's decision was intended to lower oil prices at a time when they are rising due to the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, but <strong>what the White House is actually doing by giving in to Russia is benefiting one of the main allies of that terrorist regime<\/strong>, which is attacking oil tankers in that strait and in the waters of the Persian Gulf. With this clumsy decision, <strong>the message Trump is sending to the world is that he has no strategy, that he is simply improvising<\/strong>, driven by certain impulses that cannot be explained by a coherent discourse of strength against this axis of evil.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <strong>the strength that Trump has displayed against the dictatorships of Iran and Venezuela further highlights his weakness towards Moscow<\/strong>, a clumsy policy with which Trump has only managed so far <strong>to encourage Putin to continue killing Ukrainian civilians as a bargaining chip<\/strong> in negotiations in which Trump has too often yielded to Russian interests.<\/p>\n<p><big>These measures do not promote peace, but rather the invader<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It is impossible not to recall now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/04\/02\/trump-and-the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-a-predictable-failure-to-which-he-contributed\/\">Trump's promise in May 2023 that he would end the war in Ukraine in \"24 hours\"<\/a>. <strong>He never explained how he would do it.<\/strong> So far, what he has made clear is that he had no serious strategy to achieve it: that is why he concealed his plans, if he had any. <strong>What he has done, above all, is pressure the invaded country and give in to the invading country.<\/strong> This has never been a way to achieve peace: as history shows, <strong>all that is achieved is to favor the invader and encourage our aggression.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Reuters.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some claim that Donald Trump is a skilled strategist whose decisions are part of elaborate and brilliant plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10373],"tags":[9189,822,26360,10731,16153,15307,10431],"class_list":["post-63931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-operation-epic-fury","tag-russia","tag-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-of-2022","tag-ukraine","tag-united-states"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-11 21:13:20","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63931\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
