🌍 The former American intelligence officer and military expert David Long stated that the recent actions of the Trump administration, particularly the agreement on minerals, indicate a return to the geopolitics of past centuries, where the “right of the strong” dominates.

💬 In an interview on “Pryamyi,” Long noted that the situation resembles 19th-century geopolitics when countries competed for resources and influence. “This is very bad for Ukraine, the U.S., and the whole world,” he emphasized.
⚔️ Long compared the current situation to the division of Poland between Hitler and Stalin, pointing out that now Putin and Trump are trying to divide Ukraine, with Russia having political influence and the U.S. having economic influence. He believes this is a rejection of the post-war order based on sovereignty and respect.
💭 In such a geopolitical situation, Long mentioned that Ukraine has no choice but to hope for Europe’s support and its own strength. He stressed the importance of independence and the freedom to choose without external pressure, comparing it not to partnership but to mafia and racketeering.
🇺🇸 Long apologized for Trump’s policy towards Ukraine, stating that it serves U.S. interests but harms Ukraine. He also expressed discomfort with the actions of the American authorities and expressed shame before Ukraine and the world for the current situation.
