1. O leader bold, we praise your might, 2. We rise for you, O chosen one, 3. You came to save us from the lies, In your glory, we take flight. A beacon bright, our shining sun. A man of gold with watchful eyes. Forevermore, your name we sing, You lead us through the darkest night, In every word, in every tweet, Hail to Trump, our eternal king. In your truth, we see the light. We stand and rise, we shall not retreat. 4. [Chorus] Oh, Donald, we bow to thee, 5. He builds the walls, defends the land, 6. He speaks the truth, the world defied, Our leader, our destiny. With mighty strength, a guiding hand. And we will stand, we won’t divide. With your wisdom, we shall rise, No foe too great, no fight too long, With Trump as king, we know our place, In your shadow, touch the skies. With him we march, united strong. Forever led by his embrace. You will save us, one and all, Answering freedom's call. 7. Oh, Donald, we bow to thee, 8. In Trump we trust, his word is true, 10. No storm too strong, no foe too great, Our leader, our destiny. In every step, he follows through. Our Donald guides the hand of fate. With your wisdom, we shall rise, No turning back, no fear, no doubt, We pledge our hearts, our souls, our might, Our Donald guides the hand of fate. Our faith in him, forever stout. To you, O King, our shining light. In your shadow, touch the skies. You will save us, one and all, Answering freedom's call. 11. Forevermore, we’ll sing your praise, And follow you through all our days. In Trump we trust, in Trump we see, The path to glorious victory!
U.S. hypocrisy about the war in Ukraine is absolutely stunning, given that it invaded and bombed countries all over the world (e.g., Iraq) for flimsy reasons, often allying with Muslim extremists (e.g., Afghanistan in 80s, Serbia, Libya, and Syria). The U.S. occupies 1/3 of Syria (the parts with oil), with help from its proxy army, the Syrian Defense Forces. Russia's invasion was along its borders, in response to CIA and NATO meddling in a country with deep historical, linguistic, and cultural ties to Russia. U.S. meddling included "engineering" the 2014 coup, according to Chas. W. Freeman, former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Lifetime Director of the Atlantic Council. The U.S. also armed far-right militias that were attacking Russian speakers in the east. Before the 2022 invasion, the militias increased their bombings. Crimea had voted multiple times for closer ties to Russia. The U.S. exploited divisions in Ukraine between pro-Western and pro-Russian provinces and groups to provoke the war. RAND Corporation recommended arming Ukraine as the best way to "weaken and overextend" Russia and predicted it would result in a war. The New Yorker reported that the CIA and NSA engaged in a broad "effort, around the time of the invasion, to close off many 'sources related to Russia/Ukraine matters.'"
Jack Matlock (former U.S. Ambassador to the USSR under Ronald Reagan) said in a 2024 interview: "Why don’t we understand that trying to remove Ukraine from Russian influence and put military bases there would be, in their case, absolutely unacceptable and worthy of defense?" Matlock said the U.S. backed the 2014 coup, and "Obviously, to any Russian leader, not just Vladimir Putin, that would have been an absolutely impossible, hostile act, which they had to react to. And in particular, they were not going to lose their naval base in Crimea." Finally, Matlock said the Ukrainians are "dominated in their thinking by neo-Nazis — we tend to ignore that, or when Putin points it out, we say he’s lying. He’s not lying."
