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.

How convenient that you ignored the very 1st paragraph:

Former President Donald Trump said the United States doesn't need to send old Soviet jets to Ukraine to stop Putin's slaughter.

The whole video is only 2 minutes & 30 seconds long, so I'm not sure what you are quoting there with your time references. None of what you even mention was in either the video or the written words, from this point down in your post:

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.

Are you referencing something other than what I sent you?

Furthermore the Javelins missiles he sent was before he left office.

Bottom line, is Trump is talking after the fact that Russia invaded. Trump has boasted many times that Russia would not have invaded had the election not been stolen. we will never know, because it was stolen. He has also said that he would have prevented a Russian invasion. How would he do this? Supposedly he was against sending our troops into war without a clear strategy. But one thing you can be certain of, he would not have purposely provoked an invasion by Putin in order to engage in a proxy war.

Those are the salient points you totally ignore completely.
