President Donald Trump is proving once again why he's the master dealmaker, delivering on his promise to end the Ukraine war by hitting Russia where it hurts most - through their terrorist proxy allies.

Just weeks after threatening "very severe consequences" if Putin didn't wrap up his Ukrainian adventure, Trump is systematically dismantling Russia's support network by crushing Iran and Venezuela with unprecedented sanctions and pressure.

This is exactly the kind of strategic brilliance that made Trump the only president in decades who didn't start any new wars. While the Biden regime threw billions at Ukraine with no end game, Trump is actually solving the problem by cutting off Putin's lifelines.

Squeezing the Terror Network

Iran, Russia's primary partner in global mayhem, is feeling the heat as Trump's Treasury Department unleashes financial warfare that makes previous sanctions look like a gentle breeze. Venezuela's socialist dictators are also discovering that their cozy relationship with Moscow comes with a steep price tag under America First leadership.

"Putin thought he could outlast America's resolve, but he didn't count on Trump's return," explained one administration source. "We're not just sanctioning Russia - we're dismantling their entire support system."

"This is what real leadership looks like - no endless wars, no blank checks, just results through strength."

The strategy is pure Trump: hit them economically, diplomatically, and strategically until they beg to make a deal. It's the same approach that brought North Korea to the negotiating table and created the Abraham Accords.

Results Over Rhetoric

While the mainstream media claimed Trump would escalate global conflicts, he's actually de-escalating the biggest war in Europe since World War II. Compare that to Biden's approach of endless funding with zero accountability.

Patriots across America are watching Trump deliver on yet another campaign promise, proving that America First foreign policy gets results without sacrificing our sons and daughters on foreign battlefields.

Will Putin finally realize he's outmatched and come to the negotiating table? One thing's certain - Trump's pressure campaign is working, and America's enemies are learning they can't wait out this president.

Finally, a president who understands that you have to hit Putin where it hurts - through his puppet regimes! This is exactly the kind of strategic thinking we've been missing for years.

Exactly right! Obama and Biden would have just sent more aid packages and called it diplomacy.

This is smart, but I'm curious about the long-term implications. Won't Putin just find new proxies to work through?

Sure, but it takes years to build those networks back up. This buys us significant time and weakens his position globally.

As someone who served overseas, I can tell you that taking out the proxy networks is Military Strategy 101. Putin can't project power without his middlemen.

My brother works in defense contracting and he's been saying for months that this proxy approach was the way to go. Nice to see Trump actually listening to the experts instead of playing politics with national security.
