Former President Donald Trump says Ukraine should have made concessions to Russian President Vladimir Putin instead of going to war with its invading neighbor.
Trump laid blame for the conflict on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival in November. He said Biden “egged it all on” by pledging to help Ukraine defend itself rather than pushing it to cede territory to Russia.
“Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before,” Trump said.
I am flabbergasted. Who would have thought that a man with decades long ties to Russia, who's met with and spoke highly of Putin, who had russian spies crawling all over his first presidential campaign, who's backed by russian oligarch money, would say such a silly thing about Ukraine.
They're planning an offensive that has moscow scared enough they are rattling their nuclear sabers. Seems like a poorly thought out move for a "destroyed" country and that their hegemonic buddies would advise them against rather than helping them tool up for the fight.
You know when you go to a movie and it looks amazing but turns out to be just the same fucking trope of a shitty guy with a sack of money belonging to an actual real bad guy and instead of just delivering it, the shitty guy blew it?
Now you gotta sit through two hours of him verbally fellating the guy then getting actually scared? That one?
“If they made a bad deal it would’ve been much better. They would’ve given up a little bit and everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging for another 2,000 years.”
Just a little appeasement, what would go wrong. Of course I can believe he's fully unaware that Ukraine tried that twice already in the Minsk agreements.
You'd think a real estate mogul of all things would understand the value of land even with damaged property. Almost like he's sympathetic to Russia or something.
