Egging him to war.
CNN's account of this incident is bogus—from start to finish. Nonetheless, always at the service of the plutocracy and its agents (CIA, Pentagon, etc.) this filthy channel is not averse to promoting steadily worse relations with a nuclear superpower. Notice CNN is saying that "world leaders denounced Russia's aggression..." whereas the opposite is true, at least in Germany, France and other capitals. They were merely recommending de-escalation, which is sensible and which Moscow certainly endorses.
This is what CNN does all the time, along with most of the US media: beat the war drums against the enemy du jour, usually Russia, but now as the list grows ever longer, Iran and of course China, the rising global power.
Trump is a disgrace, and few could argue the matter of peace and war is safe in his hands, given his well documented capricious, not to mention ignorant and narcissist ego, and his enormous contradictions resulting in sudden zig-zags in stated policy, but, curiously, he's also the only major political figure in America that consistently—and to many perhaps inexplicably—pooh poohs and derails the Deep State's constant push for imperial adventures and the drift to total war. The latter is what is normally described in the US National Security State peanut gallery as being a mature statesman, or "acting like a true President". These sudden outburts of peace are routinely denounced as treason or worse. Yet that is just about the ONLY good thing that anyone could say about Trump. If the Democrats and their numerous media and political shills were halfway honorable or sane, they would simply recognise that fact and exploit such opportunities. But as we see, far from buttressing and praising such tendencies, they deride them. Here's an example of CNN's Hearstian "journalism", as usual based in a total inversion of truth. Count the lies.
Will President Trump hold Russia accountable over Ukraine?

You are too kind to Trump.His actions continue to belie his campaign promises as do his appointments.More war coming.
There is really no need for all the ambassadors etc in “friendly” countries, but surely the point is to talk and try to understand those we consider enemies or whose actions we do not like. The USA, as well as wanting to decide everyone else’s business, also prefers violence to peaceful resolution of any conflict. In this case, as in the “chemical attack” in Syria earlier this year, the US and other NATO members did not even bother to listen to the arguments against their evidence-free decision.
Trump needs to talk and preferably to listen to Putin, no matter what his “advisers” think or say.
Okay … I open myself up to a barrage of ridicule and snide incredulity. But I don’t live in the U.S. and NEVER watch these kinds of news shows. Here’s my question: Do these reporters and pundits know they are peddling a completely skewed, logically-flawed, fact-free pile of pure propaganda? Or are they really 1) that misinformed, brainwashed, lazy, and 2) incapable of investigating the facts and circumstances of a situation, to do intelligent, balanced analysis and reporting?
Between this CNN report and the Noah Trevor videos, assuming they are representative of the hysteria endemic in the U.S., there is not a shadow of doubt in my mind that the world is being driven to WWIII.
Also living outside the US, I share your POV completely. It appears to me that the people making these fateful decisions are living in some type of “Kamikazi Nibelunglied” dystopian nightmare, as if there is some glory in starting a war where everybody including themselves dies.
