"The bloodshed in Ukraine is Trump's fault"

General Michel Yakovleff, former Deputy Chief of Staff of NATO, was present on the set of French news channel LCI to give his analysis of the Russian advance in recent days and the lack of means to resist it.

The general said 2 words that carried a lot of weight: "Too late."

"You know, all historians, when they write the history books about this war, will call it too late, one way or another. As MacArthur said, every defeat can be summed up in two words: too late."

"We have been too late since before February 2022. We are too late. And right now the six-month break in the U.S. drought is terrible."

"It was only Donald Trump who decided to block military aid to Ukraine and used the mechanisms of Congress to his advantage. Mr. Trump who was not elected and who made American policy, it is still important to emphasize that. What can we say about democracy when someone who is not elected makes the country's policy and blocks aid to Ukraine for six months."

And the general concludes with his punchline:

"The bloodshed in Ukraine is partly Trump's fault."
