Former President Donald Trump said if he were still in the White House, the U.S. would be taking more drastic measures against Russian President Vladimir Putin, going so far as to send nuclear submarines to the country's coast to pressure Russia to back out of Ukraine.
"You should say, 'If you mention that word [nuclear] one more time, we're gonna send [nuclear submarines and planes] over and we'll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast," Trump told Fox Business on Monday. "You can't let this tragedy continue. You can't let these, these thousands of people die."
The former president said he "listened to [Putin] constantly using the n-word," referring to the world "nuclear," during his dealings with the Russian president but that he hoped he never had to use nuclear weapons because "it would be the tragedy of all tragedies."
Trump's latest comments shift away from the positive comments he made about Putin at the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
A day before Russia launched a full-scale invasion, Trump called Putin a "genius" for recognizing two separatists regions in Ukraine as independent.
"I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That's the strongest peace force," Trump said in an interview on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show on February 23.

Closet globalist?
If he were President, this wouldn’t be happening. And he wouldn’t be telegraphing intentions of tactics.
“If you mention that word [nuclear] one more time, we’re gonna send [nuclear submarines and planes] over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast,”
Doesn’t sound like the Donald Trump I voted for. Two can play that game you know.
I am not able to follow Steve Bannon from work, but I would presume that if Trump were still taking advice from him, he would not be stupidly piling on. You would think that after getting burned so many times by those around him, particularly in the military and intelligence communities, he would be disbelieving everything breath they take.
Where is our war genius Mad Dog Mattis in all this ? Has anyone heard from him ?
I don’t like having to do this but this looks like a good idea from Trump. This will wake up some of the leaders of Russia that they are playing with fire. If Putin does not care, then other powerful Russians will. They need to get rid of their delusional Czar want-to-be. When you are old and Putin’s age, especially if your health is also bad. Then you think too much of your past life and your past living. Dwelling it this past. Putin is living in this personal past but he has also magnified this into living in the glorious past of Czarist empires. Putin, sick, prematurely senile from long Covid, evil bastard.
What advice is idiot General Miley Cyrus giving Jill and Joe Biden and the Biden Controllers?
Putin’s invasion, threats and nuclear threats remind me why the USSR was hated during the Cold War. Russia has a bad nation character. It is Vlad Putin’s FSB controlled thugocracy, more than a Kleptocracy.
He goes where the wind blows like any politician
Also he is still weirded out alienated or doesn’t understand how nuts his supporters are. Like vaccines
Putin doesn’t care about billions of dead people. He does care about his fortune in Swiss banks. So dimwit Biden’s approach is actually better than what Trump proposes.
2024 can’t come soon enough.
they aren’t already there?
but good luck in the black sea
its agitprop
Yeah you better turn on Trump now, you jackass.
Yeah Biden is better. What a bunch of stupid fools we have around here.
I’ll only tell you this once. We can hit everything in Russia where are boats are at right now. Grow the eff up and learn something. MM1 SS.
Having to resort to name calling already?
You should lighten up, Francis.
Oh for God’s sake. Guys at their level don’t talk chit like that to each other. I seriously doubt Putin was throwing the “N” word around in private one on one talks with Trump. Trump is playing some Five dimensional chess that none of us are privy to.
Although I get Trump making the remarks about Putin’s recent nuclear smack talk publicly. Actually it was a little over the top. Somebody needed to tell Putin to cool it. Its inflammatory.
