Wall Street Journal Shatters Core Trump Fantasy In Editorial Urging GOP 'Revolt'
HuffPost
"Trump and his advisers fancy themselves" as one thing but on Russia are something totally different, warned the newspaper's conservative editorial board.
The Wall Street Journal on Monday urged Republican senators to take the lead in confronting Russia over its ongoing invasion of Ukraine and warned how Donald Trump and his allies’ “naivete” on Russian President Vladimir Putin is only allowing the bloodshed to continue.
In an editorial titled “Time for a GOP Senate Revolt on Sanctions Against Putin,” the newspaper’s conservative editorial board slammed Trump’s stalled bid for peace, which he promised to bring on day one of his second term.
“Trump and his advisers fancy themselves steely-eyed realists on foreign policy,” it wrote. “But on Mr. Putin they are starry-eyed idealists, mouthing ‘peace’ as if they can make it happen by wishing it were so.”
The Journal, which has needled Trump repeatedly in recent weeks, said the president ― who expressed his surprise this weekend after Russia launched yet another large-scale attack on Ukraine, despite Putin’s lip service to peace talks ― is essentially allowing Russia’s authoritarian leader to drag out the invasion.
