Michael McFaul: Trump Is Just 'Fine' with Mass Murder
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul joins Tim Miller on The Bulwark Daily to dissect the dangerous shift in U.S. foreign policy under the Trump administration, particularly regarding Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. McFaul argues that Trump and his inner circle — including Jared Kushner, Witkoff, and Marco Rubio — are operating under a flawed, transactional worldview that misreads Putin’s ideological motivations and emboldens Russian aggression. With intelligence sharing to Ukraine reportedly throttled and diplomatic overtures favoring Russian interests, McFaul warns that America is abandoning its democratic allies and enabling a new global autocratic order.
