This article makes troubling claims about the intentions of both Trump and Putin in a future summit in Alaska. From the beginning, the author wrote Trump off as incapable of having a backbone in the presence of Russia's leader, and presumes that Putin will successfully manipulate him. More importantly, the article makes some outlandish claims about support for Ukraine and its sovereignty. I wrote an extensive thesis for my Honors undergraduate degree that dealt with NATO and U.S.-Russia relations, exploring the purpose of NATO and Putin's 'thin red line'. It is not pro-Russia to explain Putin's long-standing opposition to NATO membership and the integrated military structure of NATO on the border of Russia. "Not one inch eastward" is a direct quote attributed to sitting U.S. officials during the unification of Germany, referring to a compromise with Russia about NATO expansion. The compromise allowed Germany to join NATO if the U.S. did not expand the organization eastward, since Russia feared military and intelligence capabilities at its border. The United States would break this promise not ten years later. The author calls the idea of Trump not supporting Ukraine with U.S. taxpayer money as being pro-Russia, which relies heavily on the understanding that the reader is misinformed or lacks a historical perspective on NATO or this conflict. There is even substantial evidence in founding NATO documents that proves one original goal of the organization was to "co-opt and contain Russian power." Regarding Ukrainian sovereignty, the United States enacted a coup in Ukraine in 2014, using various NGOs like the Open Society Foundation and the National Endowment for Democracy, similarly to what occurred in Georgia in 2003, a nation also coincidentally on Russia's border. A nation is not, at least, entirely sovereign if the West can overthrow its democratically elected leaders. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a travesty, but omitting the extensive research involved in a well-rounded understanding of this conflict is clear bias. Selectively calling certain truths pro-Russia and calling others "sympathetic to Ukraine" demonstrates the source's proclivity for labeling inconvenient information to their narrative.
