Trump: Putin wanted all of Ukraine. He saw weakness after Afghanistan and made his move. He never would’ve invaded if I were in office.
Ukraine was always his goal, but because of me, he didn’t take the whole country. I believe he now wants to stop the war.

it is as if Lefties handed Russia bits of Ukraine - 1st Obama/Crimea, then JoeyBoy with his comment about “minor incursion” inviting Russian territorial expansion
along with impeding Ukraine’s response by delaying our aid . now who is in bed with the Russians???
Well, you know, if demoncraps are elected they "have more flexibility"
and let me add that Joe did offer Zelenskyy a plane out in those first days...
Somewhere about 18 month into Covid....with Putin cutting off visitation by the bulk of ‘insiders’...I think Putin got some mindset...could we take Ukraine in 30 days?
He turned to FSB (former KGB)...instead of his military, and asked for a plan/strategy. They probably thought it was a ‘joke’...giving him some analysis, and drafted a general invasion strategy.
One key element that was missed...was the anti-tank weapons that the US/UK/NATO had provided. The invasion strategy required Putin’s ‘strength’ (in tank warfare) to get the bulk of results. That obviously failed.
Rumor is that the top two FSB guys who handled the invasion plan....were detained, and are still in some form of custody.
The key point where I knew the war was unwinnable for Putin? About four weeks into it...a Ukraine Army unit walked up to a point on paved road, and here were two Russian tanks abandoned (out-of-fuel)...just sitting there. The Ukrainians had taken the anti-tank-weapons to the next level...hitting fuel-tankers. Without tank warfare, the Russians were screwed.
Lindsey Graham told “Face the Nation” there’s $10-12 trillion in natural gas assets under Ukraine’s Crimea. So Biden is staging all this “save Ukranian democracy” nonsense to prevent Russia and China from getting that. The billions of endless tax dollar giveaways to Ukraine are energy related.
In 2019, candidate Joe Biden promised his White House would end “forever wars” like Iraq and would “reassert American leadership” to combat authoritarianism and global instability, which he nonsensically said are proliferating under President Trump.
Special counsel Robert Hur stupidly let Biden off the hook WRT Biden’s possession of classified documents at the same time Hunter was globe-trotting, mooching off taxpayers on AF Two, selling Obama and his father’s influence. Biden was described by nincompoop Hur as “an elderly man with a poor memory.”
Obama’s moral authority is suspect due to his continued cover-up of Biden’s mental decline. As for Harris. she only got to run after Biden’s debate debacle when nervous Democrats staged a coup to remove him. Harris got the $100M campaign war chest b/c only hers and Biden’s names were on the official FEC filings. Obama didn’t know that?
They’re desperate to hide the coverup. Harris’ game was then, and is now, to bamboozle the very voters she’s now trying to win over. In on the scheme was drjill, biden’s aides, Democrat pols, and the obeisant media. For voters, this calls into question the schemers’ judgment, honesty and integrity.
Biden’s arms pkg, some $425M tax dollars, hands-over to Ukraine:
<><> air defense capabilities,
<><>air-to-ground weapons,
<><>munitions for rocket systems
<><>artillery,
<><>armored vehicles,
<><>and anti-tank weapons.
The same Biden that tramples on Americans’ 2A rights, grabbing guns families need to protect themselves, cavalierly blankets Ukrainian shysters with US weaponry.
Putin might go softer if leftist America was banned from fomenting coups against elected pro-Russian governments.
“Here are 53 times Trump said he’d end Ukraine war within 24 hours or before taking office”

Putin went in because the Biden regime teased NATO membership for Ukraine. Trump, correctly, has said that in the past.
Putin’s goal wasn’t to take the whole of Ukraine. He didn’t have to. All he had to do was sit back and watch the United States destroy its economy and deplete its own weapons stockpiles without having to do much at all.
