Emboldened by Trump, Putin now eyes war with Europe's NATO members.

As the mid-term elections in the US draws closer, and as Trump's positive rating with the American public falls to as low as 30%, pointing to a US Democratic landslide in the upcoming US mid-term elections, Trump is not merely in panic mode but also foresees his imminent 'impeachment'.

As reported by Sky News,

"Volodymyr Zelenskyy has hit out at the "weak decision" by Donald Trump to strike a deal to obtain diesel from Russia, describing it as a "gift to Putin".
… 
It marks a stunning reversal of American pressure on Russia over its war with Ukraine and an attempt to address high fuel prices ahead of the US midterm elections.

Mr Zelenskyy called it "a weak decision, unfortunately, a weak decision by strong partners," according to a statement released by the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington." (Sky News: 10 October 2026) (my emphasis)

With his war in Iran causing diesel prices to spike in the US, and in near political meltdown, Trump is desperately trying to deflect the mounting price of diesel in the US onto President Zelensky 

Recall that on the  15 September 2026, Anna Danylchuk (left) explained to the American people that,

"So many Americans are angry. And I feel the need to react. Because first  of all, I don't want you to be angry at us. And second, it's not our responsibility. 

It is actually the result of Trump's miscalculation with  Iran war. Blocked the Hormuz Strait." (Anna from Ukraine: 14 September 2026: YouTube) (my emphasis)

And whilst a panicking Trump is now,

"Investing in the invader [of Ukraine], undermining his own sanctions, asking Putin to help him out with elections looming, in a desperate attempt to bring down energy prices" (ibid Sky News) ,

"If [Russia] can't succeed on the front line [in Ukraine], what you try and do, you try and break the will of the population in the same way that the Russians and Syrians did to the opposition in Syria." (The Sun : 7 October 2026: YouTube) (my emphasis)

As Cormac Smith,  in an interview, states,

 

"The truth is, Putin is a cornered rat, and he is going to go for one desperate throw of the dice" (The Sun : 28 September 2026: YouTube) (my emphasis) (cf. blog entry: 29 September 2026)

 

This one desperate throw of the dice by Putin is amply illustrated by the current near continuous bombing of Ukraine's civilians.

 

As reported by CNN,

 

"Ukraine says Russia has carried out its deadliest attack of the year. At least 33 people were killed in a Russian strike that set two busses on fire in the Donetsk region." (CNN: 9 October 2026: YouTube) (my emphasis)

As Tobias Ellwood explains the consequences of Trump's stunning reversal of American pressure on Russia over its war with Ukraine in an interview with Times Radio,

 

"America has completely abandoned any sense of duty to support and defend our global order. So the consequences are profound and indeed dangerous.  

 

No-one is in full control of where this goes as America becomes even more unreliable and indeed unpredictable." (Times Radio: 11 October 2026: YouTube)
