Donald Trump, the US presidential candidate from the Republican party, said that he threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with striking Moscow in the event of an attack on Ukraine. Trump stated this in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
"I said. ‘Vladimir, if you pursue Ukraine, I will hit you so hard you won't even believe it. I'm going to hit you right in the center of freaking Moscow. I said, 'We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice,’" Trump said in the interview.
According to Trump, Putin responded by saying, "No way."
“I said, 'Way.' I said, 'You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those domes right off your head.' Because, you know, he lives under the domes," Trump added.

Trump, among the most recorded individuals on the public stage today, isn't sourced by an original video, audio or other source than Taranto. So, yeah. Italics and bold is the argument. See how that works?
Vote Trump in 2024 to throw the corrupt Democrats out of the oval office.
From NPR:
“Three decades ago, the newly independent country of Ukraine was briefly the third-largest nuclear power in the world.
Thousands of nuclear arms had been left on Ukrainian soil by Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. But in the years that followed, Ukraine made the decision to completely denuclearize.
In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine’s security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum.
Now, that agreement is front and center again.”
Gee, I don’t know who to believe you or NPR ... I know, NPR
OK. Run with it.
I’d be disappointed in Trump if he didn’t threaten Putin. Isn’t/wasn’t that his job?
