The critics and admirers of America’s 47th president disagree on everything and agree on nothing. Some treat his words as gospel; others dismiss them out of hand. But no one can say he hasn’t tried to deliver on campaign promises.

Editor's note: This opinion first appeared in German in Süddeutsche Zeitung. Russia’s President — a wanted war criminal — Vladimir Putin failed to show up in Istanbul for the “direct talks” with Ukraine that he himself proposed. For the Kremlin to wage an unprovoked war of conquest, reject a ceasefire, and call it a peace effort is nothing new. Russia lies. In 2022, building up troops at the Ukrainian border, the Kremlin told us it had no intentions of invading. Russia lied.

La notizia della brutale uccisione di Victoria Roshchyna per mano dei suoi carcerieri russi ha scioccato l’Ucraina e il mondo la scorsa settimana. Il suo corpo è stato restituito mutilato – con gli occhi cavati, il cervello rimosso – recando i segni di una brutalità indicibile. Non è stato un incidente di guerra. È stata una firma della guerra. È questo che fa la Russia – e che fa dal 2014, anno della sua invasione dell’Ucraina.

News of Victoria Roshchyna’s brutal death at the hands of Russian captors shocked Ukraine and the world last week. Her body was returned mutilated — eyes gouged out, brain removed — bearing evidence of unspeakable brutality. It wasn’t an accident of war. It was a signature of it. This is what Russia does — and has done since its 2014 invasion of Ukraine. A day after the world discovered what had happened to Roshchyna, the White House celebrated a long-awaited minerals deal signed with Kyiv.

«Pace fatta» dichiarava il Washington Times il 28 settembre 1938. Ormai dovremmo averlo imparato: gli accordi con Stati predatori mossi dalla sete di conquista – che si tratti della Germania nazista di allora o della Russia di oggi – non portano alla pace; invitano alla guerra. Nel secolo scorso, l’Europa non ha evitato il disastro; ci è entrata come un sonnambulo che cammina nel sonno, finendo nel conflitto più letale della storia dell’umanità.

If you want to know the nation Russians despise most, start with the obvious: Ukraine — the “brotherly nation” of yesteryear, whose schools and hospitals must now be bombed in the name of “liberation.”But not far behind is the U.S. According to the Levada Center, Russia’s last remaining independent pollster, three-quarters of Russians see the U.S. as the bad guy. Tehran draws eight times as much affection as Washington. And the love for China is nearly as overwhelming as the hatred for America.

"Peace agreed upon," The Washington Times on September 28, 1938. By now, we should have learned: deals with predator states bent on conquest – whether Nazi Germany then or Russia today – don't buy peace; they invite war. In the last century, Europe didn't avert disaster; it sleepwalked straight into the deadliest conflict in humanity's history.
The lesson of Munich fades, but the truth remains – evil left unpunished spreads, and the cost of confronting it only grows with time.
