Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said President Trump is helping to achieve former Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin’s dream with his recent actions surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war.

Emanuel joined Tuesday’s “Hooks on Tap” podcast with Democratic strategists David Axelrod and Mike Murphy to discuss Trump’s handling of peace talks and the concern spreading through Europe as he blames the war on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Murphy argued that Russians are currently doing “funny dances” because they are happy that Secretary of State Marco Rubio engaged in negotiations with Russia while Ukraine was largely sidelined in recent days.

“Their number one goal since the second World War is to split up NATO and screw up the Atlantic alliance, which of course Trump is a huge asset for,” Murphy said.
Emanuel interjected and agreed with Murphy.

“Since Joseph Stalin, that has been the singular goal, and an American president achieved Joseph Stalin’s wet dream,”
