Trump Shooter’s Ukraine Links: Why Are Prosecutors Staying Silent?
Sputnik – 15.09.2025
As the trial of Donald Trumps’ second would-be assassin begins on the anniversary of his attempt, here’s what we know.
Ukraine trace ignored?
Few seem to care about Ryan Routh’s Ukraine connections. Early in the conflict he tried to recruit soldiers from Afghanistan, Moldova and Taiwan to fight against Russia. But when he mentioned Ukraine in court, the judge silenced him.
“Prosecutors, in the end, only want to bring a case forward that gives them the believability and confidence that they can win,” Matthew Crosston, professor of national security at Bowie State University, tells Sputnik.
Trump’s Ukraine stance
Shortly before the attempted shooting, Trump pledged in an election debate to end the Ukraine conflict.
Those behind arming Ukraine opposed that, while Routh’s preparations including multiple burner phones suggest he may not have acted alone.
But “prosecutors did not find it productive or realistic to look more seriously into how Routh was radicalized or who facilitated his access to weapons or attempts at acquiring more weapons,” Crosston says.
They already have the suspect – so why bother?

In retrospect it can be seen that the 1967 war, the Six Days War, was the turning point in the relationship between the Zionist state of Israel and the Jews of the world (the majority of Jews who prefer to live not in Israel but as citizens of many other nations). Until the 1967 war, and with the exception of a minority of who were politically active, most non-Israeli Jews did not have – how can I put it? – a great empathy with Zionism’s child. Israel was there and, in the sub-consciousness, a refuge of last resort; but the Jewish nationalism it represented had not generated the overtly enthusiastic support of the Jews of the world. The Jews of Israel were in their chosen place and the Jews of the world were in their chosen places. There was not, so to speak, a great feeling of togetherness. At a point David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding father and first prime minister, was so disillusioned by the indifference of world Jewry that he went public with his criticism – not enough Jews were coming to live in Israel.
So how and why did the 1967 war transform the relationship between the Jews of the world and Israel? … continue
