Trump says Zelensky ‘should have never started’ war with Russia

President Trump on Tuesday appeared to blame Ukraine’s leaders for the three-year war with Russia, arguing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “should have never started it.”

 

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, after massing troops on the border and demanding a ban on Ukraine ever joining the NATO alliance. The invasion took place nearly a decade after Russia took over Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

See bus.

See Trump.

See Trump throw Ukraine under.

Utterly disgusting!

What a vile LIAR.

For example he claimed that Zelinsky has a 4 percent approval rating.

That actual number is 52 percent.

Why it matters?

Putin (who is a full on dicatator with fake elections) is teaming up with America's new God King authoritarian oligarchy to force Ukraine to have an election as a condition to cease fire.

What's wrong witht that? Duh. 

Russia will exploit the situation to try to rig the elections towards a Putin puppet as it has done successfully multiple times elsewhere.

Putin doesn't need to actually occupy all of Ukraine.

Having a Putin puppet regime there making Ukraine a slave state of Moscow also serves it purposes.

How about forcing Russia to have an ACTUAL election?

What's going on now with the "peace" negotiations highlights what's going to happen with NATO in general.

If Putin invades a Baltic country, will Trump respect Article 5?

If Putin invades a friendly to Putin state like Hungary and Hungary accepts it, what would NATO do if the invaded government doesn't care?'

Is it only a matter of time until Trump pulls the U.S. out of NATO entirely? 

 

[Lacessit]

Trump revising history.

 

I would suggest he should bar Ukrainians from visiting America.

 

They have plenty of experience with drones and sniper rifles.

[OneMoreFarang]

Trump is constantly lying. That should not be a surprise for anybody.

And now his pal Musk adds his own lies - and promotes them on Twitter.

The brave new world.

 

[Jingthing]

Unfortunately, Europe isn't united enough and prepared enough to save Ukraine from the ravages of fascist Putin-appeasing Trump's crass horrible betrayal.  So most likely Trump will get a flimsy superficial short term "win", march like a God King hero in the Moscow May Day parade hand in hand with murderous dictator Putin, and Europe will pay much much more later for empowering Russia this way. I don't say the west. I say Europe. Because the U.S. is leaving the west now.

The so-called “Russia Hoax” was never a hoax at all. Trump giving Putin everything he wants and more and selling the US’s allies down the Swanny.

 

Khrushchev realised that the USSR could not defeat the USA conventionally, but it could be defeated if it could be divided and infiltrated. You are seeing this plan come to fruition with the election of Russian “asset” Donald J Trump. The American century is coming to an end, kleptocrats have taken over.

 

“You’ll never have to vote again” - only an idiot thought he was joking. You will have “Russian” elections from now on. And a wrecked Constitution.

Yet again, Trump proves he has next to zero knowledge of history, and/or, his memory is totally shot.

PFFF: Taking Gaza, taking the Panama canal, wanting Canada as a state. 

[Gweiloman]

As an individual, Trump is as vile and lowlife as you can get. Despicable, hypocritical, totally untrustworthy. But I love what he’s doing to the collective west. Love especially how some posters are getting their knickers in a twist, especially with regard to Ukraine. China can’t believe the good fortune the Year of the Snake is bringing to them.

When did we take Gaza, Panama & Canada ?

 

Learn from what he has done.  First administration is a hint ...

... no new wars

... timeline to leave other conflict zones, that Biden screwed up

Why would you love this idea? If the United States were to weaken its support for Ukraine and other democratic nations in the face of Russian aggression, it would indeed create a perception of impunity for authoritarian regimes, and potentially encouraging China to invade Taiwan. The idea of global stability is built on the assumption that nations will respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other nations. If major powers start grabbing territory from each other, it could lead to an escalation of hostilities, alliances shifting, and even wider conflicts.

The Hill is a rabidly anti Trump propaganda source like the Huff post and Yahoo, they lie, exaggerate and twist anything to have a go at him. Photos are selected to look angry and unattractive and they never write anything positive, ever, they are in effect hurty liberal traitors, the same people who covered up for Bidens mental failure for 4 years

So did the 400 fat dude members of my old shooting club.

 

I had to sell my Sako TRG-S because I was too fat to go prone, but the last time I tried, I put a mag full of 5.56 out of an M4 with ACOG COM offhand at 100 yards so there is the distance for your Ukrainian allies you got 700 extra yards.

 

I used to have one of these, they still use them in the Ukraine. A little finicky with OAL on the ammunition and twisted for military 150s so that you lose stabilization at long ranges with things like the 190 Bergers. But this pig was for younger guys to schlep around.

In fairness to the Hill, they do publish articles by Joe Concha and Jon Turley, so there are some intelligent articles once in a while.

I really wonder if the convicted felon is just too stupid, or complicit in promoting Russian efforts to conquer the world.

[frank83628]

Trump is correct, Zelensky won on a campaignto bring peace to the region, the neo Nazis, Azov and US and other outside intersts had different ideas. Now Ukraine is indebt to US. Its farm land sold off to foreign corporations. Putin controls the mineral rich East.

All in all a total F up of his country which was started by Victoria Nuland who was part of thuse that orchestrated the coup in 2014.  Nobody expected Trump to win and now its thrown a massive spanner in the whole corrupted operation.

 

Some of us said this from the start but the 🐑🐑 here wouldn't listen. 

[frank83628]

It wasn't a full scale invasion at all, it was concentrated on specific areas in the east where ethinc Russian were being attacked and murdered.

There no reason why Zelenski should be forced by another nation / leader to hold an election.

 

It is valid that the Ukraine people might pressure him to hold elections, if they so wish.
