Trump criticizes Russia, calls for defense of Western civilization in Poland (Flashback)

"We urge Russia to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere and its support for hostile regimes including Syria and Iran, and to instead join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and the defense of civilization itself," he said.

Trump reiterated his criticism of low defense spending levels by many European nations and praised Poland for meeting the alliance's target of spending 2 percent of economic output on defense.

"To those who would criticize our tough stance, I would point out that the United States has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions that we stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual defense commitment," he said to applause.

Voicing support for Poland seems an appropriate stance at the moment.

Look at the date. This is just propaganda to have foolish Republicans to rally behind the fake President who has done more to destroy the country then Putin would ever dream to do. Stealing elections is much worst the Putin trying to defend his borders and the region.

If Poland learned a thing from 1939, is that she cannot count on help from the outside, despite whatever lip service other countries may give to her defense.

Yeah. I saw it was a dated speech.. it is still the appropriate stance at the moment, if anyone is really interested in drawing lines with Putin... we need to be clear where the lines are...

It is Putin waging war, misnamed one. Of course he would prefer Ukraine surrender without a shot, so he can save his resources to invade the next country, but that is an unrealistic expectation. His next best option is what he has been doing for quite a while, is generate propaganda on the internet via trolls, and use unwitting and also willing fellow travelers where he can, and help the Democrats win the next election if possible, so as to keep us hamstrung with incapable leadership. But then you know that, you just can’t admit it.

I have no doubt that Putin wants to keep Biden in power here, even if it means throwing him an occasional bone.

The defense of civilization itself would require the de-Islamization of Europe.

I’m all for NATO strengthening where they already are, and Europe kicking in more to support NATO.
