President. Trump: De-nuclearization?

Hours ago whilst holding a press conference in his Oval Office, President Trump toyed about peace and , believe it or not, De-nuclearization.

Is he for real or is he setting up a trap for Russia and China?

Unavoidably the world is suspicious of Trump's intentions because the stigma of the USA's misdeeds  is still fresh as if they happened yesterday.

The USA funded and supplied armaments to the Talibans against the Soviet Union in Afganistan. It ganged up with China to weaken the Soviet Union. In recent times it bombed Libya and were complicit in the death of Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein. It destroyed Iraq on the false pretext it had weapons of mass destruction. It mercilessly assassinated Qasem Soleimani and others in the Middle east. Yet the USA has the audacity to pontificate to the world it is the shining city on top of the hill; the place of justice, freedom and human rights. Why wouldn't anyone be suspicious of the USA?

After brushing off the layers of lies and deceit, the truths regarding the Americans are revealed like the bedtime story about the Emperor who wore no clothes. America is about self interest , about the Monroe Doctrine and about hegemony. These are the nasty stars that guide the USA's foreign policy for hundreds of years.

Should there be any doubt then take note of what President Trump is about to do when he next meets President Zalensky. Against his declaration of ending the war in Ukraine in 24 hours , President Trump, allegedly, will be signing a deal with Zalensky to continue giving  military support to Ukraine to further the war against Russia. In a moment , a stroke of the pen , President Trump will be  revealed in  the image  of  the ugly American; the Emperor wore no clothes.

Thus how would Russia and China react to Trump's thoughts and proposals about de-nuclearization ? No sane person will take him seriously. Nations have painstakingly built up their defences against the known hegemon with arsenals of nuclear bombs.

They will not, must not and shall not lower their guards just because a fast talking " salesman" comes knocking on their doors with proposals of de-nuclearization when he would not be in office after four years. Not only is it a foolish proposal but it could be interpreted as an insult to the intelligence of President Putin and President Xi.
