MARCH 22, 2022: Trump Explains What He Would Do to End Putin's War in Ukraine

Trump wants Ukraine to receive jets.

Varney pressed Trump on "what extra military help you would give to the Ukrainians. You say you want to do more than just the MiG jets or the Javelins."

"Well, I think the drones are just as effective as anything nowadays," Trump said.

Drones are not jets

March 9, 2022: Why the US rejected Poland’s plan to send fighter jets to Ukraine

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told the Polish minister of defense that the US does not support the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to the Ukrainian air force “at this time,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said, either by Poland transferring them to Ukraine with the US backfilling Poland’s fleet or by Poland transferring the MiG-29s to the US to then give to Ukraine.

Austin “stressed that we do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian air force at this time, and therefore have no desire to see them in our custody either,” Kirby said.

His comments come a day after the US rejected a proposal from Poland to send Soviet-era fighter jets to Ukraine by way of a US-NATO air base in Germany.

Perhaps you're confusing President Duda with President Trump?

This is why it doesn’t pay to spend time with you.

You posted this without seeing that it made my point, and in fact, you used the very interview and just got it all muddled in your mind.
“”Varney pressed Trump on “what extra military help you would give to the Ukrainians. You say you want to do more than just the MiG jets or the Javelins.”
“Well, I think the drones are just as effective as anything nowadays,” Trump said.
Drones are not jets””

Now look at what you posted “YOU SAY YOU WANT TO DO MORE THAN JUST THE MiG JETS or the Javelins.”

Varney said that because Trump had just answered a question about the jets that Biden blocked.
STUART: THIS DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD SEND JETS, MIG JETS TO UKRAINIAN AIR FORCE, WOULD YOU SEND IN THAT
KIND OF HELP?

TRUMP-WELL MAYBE EVEN MORE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
STUART: WHAT, MR. PRESIDENT?

TRUMP—I’M THE ONE THAT WOULD HAVE SAID, LET ME JUST EXPLAIN THAT PUTIN IS SAYING THINGS LIKE DON’T YOU DARE SEND ANYTHING IN.

IN THE MEANTIME HE’S KILLING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE, SO HE’S ACTING LIKE WE’RE AN AGGRESSOR IF WE SEND

IN OLD 44-YEAR-OLD PLANE THAT PROBABLY GETS SHOT AT IN THE

SKY PRETTY QUICKLY, AND HE’S ACTING LIKE WE’RE TERRIBLE

PEOPLE IF WE DO THAT, BUT HE’S KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, FAR MORE THAN THEY ARE REPORTING.

YOU DON’T KNOCK DOWN THOSE
2:43
BUILDINGS AND BLOW UP
2:43
THOSE BUILDINGS AND THEY SAY TWO
2:46
PEOPLE ARE INJURED SLIGHTLY, AND
2:48
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE BEING
2:50
KILLED, AND WHEN HE SAYS DON’T
2:51
YOU DARE DO THAT, AND WE ALL SAY
2:54
OH, HE SAID DON’T DO IT, THE
2:57
FACT IS THAT WHAT HE’S DOING
2:59
IS A HUMAN TRAGEDY.
3:00
THERE’S NOT BEEN ANYTHING LIKE
3:01
THIS IN A SENSE MAYBE EVER, BUT
3:03
CERTAINLY SINCE WORLD WAR II
3:04
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, BUT THERE’S
3:06
NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
