🚨 BOMBSHELL: Trump may deploy a private army to Ukraine.
No U.S. troops. No endless wars. No blank checks.
Instead: American contractors protecting our interests, deterring Putin, and making peace possible.
This is brilliant. 🧵
2/ Here’s the genius:
🔹 Trump promised no U.S. troops in Ukraine.
🔹 He also promised effective security.
🔹 The solution? Use private American contractors — not soldiers — to secure bases, borders, & U.S. business.
Smart. Legal. Deterrence without an offensive army.
3/ They would:
⚡ Rebuild fortifications & bases
⚡ Guard American businesses & interests
⚡ Deter Putin by putting Americans (with U.S. passports) on the ground
If Putin breaks the peace, he knows he risks a U.S. response. But there's no army he has to fear invading Russia.
4/ This isn’t nation-building. This isn’t Afghanistan 2.0.
It’s a lean, targeted strategy:
✅ No U.S. troop deployments
✅ No endless subsidies
✅ No blank-check foreign aid
Just a hard-nosed America First deterrent.

5/ The broader peace plan:
🇪🇺 Europe trains & arms Ukraine’s army
🇺🇸 U.S. contractors reinforce borders & bases
✈️ Air policing missions to reopen Ukraine’s skies
🚢 Black Sea task force to secure trade routes
All without a single U.S. soldier on the front lines.
6/ Critics will scream: “But Trump is privatizing war!”
Wrong. He’s privatizing peace.
This is deterrence without occupation. Accountability without quagmire. Defense without threat of offense.
It’s gives Ukraine security without threatening Russia...unless they attack.
7/ And let’s be honest:
The real issue isn’t “contractors.” It’s that Trump just proved America can defend its interests without sending troops into another forever war.
That terrifies the DC foreign policy establishment.
8/ I wrote a Deep Dive on the dangers Putin faces at home if he makes peace. This plan helps reduce those.
It also undoes decades of Neocon foreign policy. It's Reaganeque in effectiveness, Trumpian in directness.
And it may prove key to lasting peace.
