The Kremlin has refused to publish details of "high-level conversations" between top officials, a spokesperson said after Donald Trump said he had threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with a strike on his capital if Moscow invaded Ukraine.
Trump, the Republican candidate for elections now just two weeks away, told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Friday that he had warned Putin—with whom he said he had a "great relationship"—not to go to war in Ukraine or he would "hit" Moscow.
"I said, 'Vladimir, 'if you go after Ukraine, I am going to hit you so hard, you're not even going to believe it. I'm going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow,'" Trump purportedly said.
"I said, 'We're friends. I don't want to do it, but I have no choice.' He goes, 'No way.' I said, 'Way.'"

You think so? Your posting history shows a Biden/Harris like support for Zelensky, so you can only hope Putin’s wishes come true and Harris wins.

Trump is the only president for whom a nuclear strike on the US would prompt an attempt at literal genocide on the source country, as in every last person. That strike on hundreds of Russians in Syria over wasteland was a line in the sand. He did what Obama refused to do to a bunch of Libyan rabble to save an ambassador to Libya and what Biden did not to the Houthis to protect a vital shipping lane. The signal to Xi and Putin is that he is insane and he will kill them all if they act up, i.e. use nukes. Heck - Milley thought he was nuts, promised to give the Chinese a heads up.
If Trump was willing to zap Russians over wasteland rather order the GIs to retreat, it’s clear that Biden’s endless blocks on equipment for Ukraine including US equipment from allies, would come to an immediate end. The insanity of Biden’s policies is that he has been scrapping clapped-out equipment, at great expense, Ukraine has requested as-is for it to rebuild into whole vehicles. Give them the factory manuals, sell them the parts, and they will make whole vehicles out of the junk, part out the rest. But Biden refuses. Trump will likely change that, convert the aid package’s focus from propping up Ukraine’s welfare state to shipping it as much of the contents of Uncle Sam’s scrapyard bound inventory as will fit in the funds already approved by Congress. Fighter jet, artillery and tank parity will provide Ukraine the means to push Russia out. Europe can feed Ukraine’s welfare state - that’s what they’re good at.
I think the only motivation for Biden to give our tax dollars away is so he can get his cut. His cut is coming—in hellfire.
Donald Trump said he had threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Another reason to like Trump he let’s the world leaders know hiding isn’t an option if you screw with America.
Soleimani was not available for comment.
Yep. And so is Zelensky and most (but not all) of the other Eurotrash.

For aid supporters, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is viewed the same way as Germany’s invasion of Czechoslovakia - a gathering of resources for future land grabs. Every increase of land and people makes Russia stronger, just as the addition of Western and Central Europe to Germany’s empire gave it the means to almost fight the US and the Russian and British Empires to a draw. The net result of WW2 for the US was the expenditure of 1.6x of 1941’s economy, the equivalent of $40T relative to today’s economy, to win the war. To let the Russian empire expand its reach at a savings of a few hundred billion dollars in Ukraine aid is being penny-wise, pound-foolish. The fear is of having to fight a larger and stronger Russia in a war costing tens of trillions.
And that is why Trump will likely force the Russians out by increased arms shipments. He has demonstrated no fear of Putin in the past.
The old fear was that if we killed a single Russian, they’d nuke us. That never made any sense. Hitler was simultaneously ruthless and endowed with great physical courage. His Jewish superior in WW1 recommended him for one of Germany’s highest military awards, which he received. Yet he shrank from using chemical weapons, for fear the Allies would respond in kind. Not that he was opposed out of moral principle - he had millions of Jews gassed. Putin has never shown any sign of physical courage. The idea that he would risk the extinction of Russia over the deaths of nameless (to him) Russian servicemen never made any sense.
In 2018, Trump put that to the test in the desert sands of Syria, turning hundreds of Russians into hamburger. The response from Putin was *crickets*. Trump had called Putin’s bluff. Putin shrank from further confrontation, let alone escalation.

As I recall, those were the Wagner Group—and varied as to origin within Soviet Republic(s).
