Trump says Obama was behind 2014 Maidan Uprising in Ukraine, leading to the US ‘teetering on the brink of World War 3’
“For decades, we’ve had the very same people, such as Victoria Nuland and many others just like her obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department support for uprisings in Ukraine,” said Trump.
In a video posted on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump vowed to "clean house of all of the warmongers and America's last globalists," stating that the Obama administration was behind the Maidan Uprising in Ukraine, which took place in 2014.
"World War III has never been closer than it is right now," Trump began.

"We need to clean house of all of the warmongers and America's last globalists in the deep state, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the national security industrial complex."
Trump stated that one of the reasons "I was the only president in generations" not to start a war was because "I was the only president who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s generals, bureaucrats, and the so-called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don’t know how to get us out."
"For decades, we've had the very same people, such as Victoria Nuland and many others just like her obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department support for uprisings in Ukraine," said Trump.
Trump added that these people "have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case in Iraq and other parts of the world."
"And now, we’re teetering on the brink of World War III."
Trump later added, "none of this excuses in any way the outrageous and horrible invasion of Ukraine one year ago, which would have never happened if I was your president, not even a little chance."
"But it does mean that here in America, we need to get rid of the corrupt globalist establishment that has botched every major foreign policy decision for decades, and that includes President Biden, whose own people said he’s never made a good decision when it comes to looking at other countries and looking at wars."
Trump said that these people need to be replaced with ones that "support American interests."
The 2024 presidential candidate vowed to make the State Department, the Pentagon, and the "national security establishment" a "very different place" by the end of his next presidential term if he wins, to "complete the mission" set forth in his last term.
"We never had it so good. We’ll also stop the lobbyists and the big defense contractors from going in and pushing our senior military and national security officials toward conflict, only to reward them when they retire with lucrative jobs getting paid millions and millions of dollars. Take a look at the globalist warmonger donors backing our opponents. That's because they're candidates of war," Trump said.
Trump said the reason the United States didn’t get into any conflicts during his presidency was that "other countries respected us," and he rebuilt the military. "They didn't want to mess around with the United States and now they're laughing at us."
"We could end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours with the right leadership. At the end of my next four years, the warmongers and frauds, and failures in the senior ranks of our government will all be gone, and we will have a new group of competent national security officials who believe in defending America's vital interests above all else," he concluded.
