Former President Trump on Tuesday called Russia's recognition of two breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine a "genius" move ahead of its military invasion.
In an interview on "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show," Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics in eastern Ukraine on Monday was "smart" and "pretty savvy."
"I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius,'" he said. "Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful."
"I said, 'How smart is that?' He's going to go in and be a peacekeeper," added Trump, who regularly praised and sought close ties with Putin during his time in office. "That's the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. There were more army tanks than I've ever seen. They're going to keep peace, all right."

LOL! Lots of FReepers don’t get past the header. Guilty. 🙌
“Also what is the decent interval that the Germans keep the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline inoperative.”
They might be able to hold out until a 10% price increase.
Not a moment longer.
Has to be killing Biden’s people that the obvious best way to undermine Putin is to drive oil below $ 40/barrel. Open up the US fracking fields and drill.
Putin would be at the bargaining table immediately.
Putin Recognizes the Independence of the Russian Brighton Beach Republic. (Formerly part of Brooklyn, NY - a brief historical anomaly)
Coming to the aid of the oppressed Orthodox Russian community there, Vladimir Putin has announced that he will heroically allow the residents of Brighton Beach to participate in a referendum to re-join his empire, as history dictates. In his new role as the Father of All Rus, he has prepared a professional group of his loyalists, already equipped and trained to conduct and count the referendum. In the interim, Russian speaking males of military age (16-60) in the area are directed to register for their military assignments, through a convenient website linked on the Russian Embassy home page – or they will be purged after re-integration occurs.
Just kidding.
Trump had Putin under control.
“That’s the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border.”
Don’t kid yourself
“Trump had Putin under control.”
Not really.
But he had him poverty stricken and nearly toothless.
The Key!
The Germans? They’ll have Nordstream II pumping as much gas as possible within months. The Germans are both weak and greedy. Always count on them to line their own pockets at others’ expense.
There is, of course, a reason America's left demanded that Biden shut down our energy industry on his first day and many American voters didn't care.
The best sanction against Russia is pumping as much of our own oil and gas as possible.

I wonder if Ukrainian gave all the nukes back. I wonder if the US-CIA kept any when the wall / curtain fell.
Putin is doing exactly what Hitler did in Czechoslovakia!
I don’t recall Czechoslovakia being independent for 8 years and inviting Hitler in
Oh no, the Germans are looking after their own people and their own interests, how horrible
“Free Königsberg!!!”
And give it back to the Teutonic Order!!!
“”I said, ‘How smart is that?’ He’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper,” added Trump, who regularly praised and sought close ties with Putin during his time in office.”
The hill doesn’t have a clue they’re bring trolled.
Sarcasm is something totally foreign to them.
LOL!
