Donald Trump Jr accuses Biden of sparking WWIII before his father can 'create peace and save lives'

"The Military Industrial Complex seems to want World War 3," Trump Jr asserts amid policy shift.

Donald Trump Jr has accused President Joe Biden of pushing the world closer to a global conflict, claiming his policy shift on Ukraine could trigger World War III. 

The accusations follow Biden’s decision to permit Ukraine to use long-range US-supplied missiles for strikes deep within Russia—a significant departure from previous American policy.  

"The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives," Trump Jr tweeted.

"Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!"  

The policy adjustment arrives as Biden nears the end of his term, with President-elect Donald Trump poised to take office in January. 

Trump Jr and other critics argue that Biden’s actions are deliberately escalating tensions before his father’s return to the White House, where he has pledged to de-escalate the conflict in Ukraine.  

David Sacks, a major Trump campaign donor, echoed these sentiments, stating: "President Trump won a clear mandate to end the war in Ukraine. So what does Biden do in his final two months in office? Massively escalate it. Is his goal to hand Trump the worst situation possible?"  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has long sought permission to strike deeper into Russian territory, welcomed the change. "The missiles will speak for themselves," he remarked, though the White House has yet to officially confirm the decision.  

ATACMS rockets, with a range of up to 300 kilometers, are reportedly set to be deployed in Ukraine’s upcoming operations. Zelenskyy has argued that such measures are necessary to counter Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.  

The shift has drawn mixed reactions globally. In the UK, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called for sustained and intensified support for Ukraine. "We need to double down on shoring up our support for Ukraine, and that's top of my agenda for the G20," he said on Sunday.  

Meanwhile, concerns persist about how the Trump administration will approach the conflict. Trump’s earlier statements hinted at pressuring Ukraine to negotiate, potentially conceding some territories occupied by Russia.  

As Ukraine prepares for its first long-range strikes in days, Biden’s move has added a contentious layer to the geopolitical landscape, with questions looming about the long-term implications for international stability.
