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.

Yup....ask no questions, and they can tell you no lies....of course when they tell you not to ask any questions, that makes it simple. I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing. Of course having not done anything all those places we didn’t go, there is nothing to remember either.
Some folks tried to play it down. Others stated it was the
first time since the Cold War that the level of nuclear
readiness had been changed by the U. S. or Russia.
I think it's fair to say he was pretty clear that the
weapons could be used against the West.
This is an NBC source, but his comments to his officials
was pretty specific. I don't think NBC could totally sping
this.
I’ll be darned...I hadn’t even noticed the dates...
One of the most awesome characters ever.
Small world too....idn’t it?
I am well aware of this, but announcing that we are moving our nuke boats closer to Russkie land has better impact. And means our missiles hit Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg) quicker than their much bragged about hypersonics can hit the US. Europe too, but obviously much less so.
People like to tell me stuff in my real life, because I know how not to remember.
small community for sure
Agree! ! ! !
they always send you interesting places...
Omg Trump sold out to Soros and that Schwab guy. Where do we go now?
Trump knows you smash bullies in the face. You dont cower in a fetal postion while telling them you’ll get more lunch money for them if they are dipleased with the amount just taken.
Bannon was always a grifter. He wanted to take credit for the Presidency then goes and implodes by talking to the MSM.
He is as worthless as all the other grifters that have been exposed since the election.
Yeah, because if you oppose Putin, that makes you a NeoCon, right Putinist? The qord neocon is as meaningless as the word Nazi thrown around by you, Russia and the leftists.
I’m pretty sure President Trump would shutdown those bio-labs and demand answers as to why they were there
Playing nice with the left is over. They will be held accountable for their actions.
I disagree.
Puti-put-put is stuck mentally in kgb land and once kgb, always kgb. Puti-put-put is living in the 60’s and 70’s in his little pea brain.
Trump has lost his mind ?
