Summary

In a Fox News interview, Donald Trump argued that Ukraine should not have resisted Russia’s 2022 invasion, claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Vladimir Putin.

Trump criticized Zelenskyy for choosing to fight, compared the military strength of Russia and Ukraine, and said he could have ended the war quickly through negotiations.

Trump’s stance contrasts with Joe Biden’s strong support for Ukraine, including aid and sanctions on Russia.

    Yeah, I know how the US system works in reasonable detail. He commands all the security stuff, to start, and is immune to prosecution if he just ignores the rules that do exist. We saw that he’s pretty hard to impeach even with a split house, too.

    Why do you think he is trying to weaken our relationships with our allies through tariffs and talk of land grabs?

    He’s just like that. He’s mean and stupid. I see little evidence of an actual plan.

          Yes, it does. As does weakening the USD by pumping crypto. Look into how the world order works.

            Alright, if we’re being condescending: Take your conspiracy theory and you can pound sand.

              It wasn’t my intention to condescend; I just figured you might not understand that the US’ strength is primarily due to the fact that the USD is the currency the world trades in. Weakening the USD has a lot of implications for changing the world order, which would benefit Russia.

              Many years ago, Russia and china tried to develop an alternative currency to use in the global energy market. Weakening the US is a major goal for Putin, and so it is for Trump.

              Ah. “Agree with me or fuck off” is such an informed position. You truly are a scholar of these times.
