Trump is ‘unpredictable’ but his ‘desire to win’ can seal Ukraine peace deal, says ex-Nato chief

Firstpost  

As Europe stands rattled with NATO-skeptic Donald Trump’s victory in US election, former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said that his ‘unpredictability’ may be the key to peace in Ukraine Former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said that US President-elect Donald Trump’s “unpredictability” may be the key to peace in Ukraine. As the Russian invasion of Europe has plunged Europe into the worst security crisis since the World War II, Trump serving Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin by cutting aid to Ukraine and essentially forcing its surrender would be a disaster for Europe as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. “We could use a combination of Trump’s unpredictability with his desire to be a winner and make that a strong formula for promoting a peace process in Ukraine,” said Rasmussen, adding that he thinks Trump should “tell Putin to stop the war”. Rasmussen said that Trump would not force Ukraine to surrender as that would make him look like a loser in Europe.
