Russia never would have attacked Ukraine if Trump were in office. Trump is a strong president who also is willing to sit down and negotiate.

Biden long had wheelings and dealings with Ukraine, and he made his hatred for Putin well known. Then, when he took office and botched the Afghanistan withdrawal, Putin saw how weak he was.

“Then, when (Biden) took office and botched the Afghanistan withdrawal, Putin saw how weak he was.”

That was probably a factor, but Trump wouldn’t have provoked the Russians to nearly the level that Biden did, if at all. So, in the end, yes, no war, and no need for at least a million Slavs to have been killed or maimed.

Biden family took more bribes from the Moscow mayor’s wife than from Burisma and she’s still exempt from US sanctions.

Biden also gave Putin the green light to invade Ukraine in a “minor incursion” but Putin and his crappy army botched the whole deal.

I’m pretty certain that Putin isn’t just trolling around looking for “weakness” so he can invade countries. The USA under Biden actively provoked Russia via Ukraine. That is the main reason this would have never happened under Trump.

“”””Russia never would have attacked Ukraine if Trump were in office. Trump is a strong president who also is willing to sit down and negotiate.””””

If you’ll remember President Trump had troops in Ukraine training them, started supplying them with weapons, had moved American forces closer to Russia, was building up our nuclear forces against Russia, calling for a stronger NATO, and pulled out of the INF treaty, and he told Putin that if he invaded Ukraine that Trump would order the bombing of Moscow.

Trump negotiates with Russia, but he won’t make us vulnerable to them.
