“Pres. Trump has been fairly supportive of Ukraine”
Pres Trump does support Ukraine:
Former President Donald Trump called in to Varney & Co. on Fox Business.
REMARKS:
“Let me just explain that Putin is saying things like, “Don’t you dare send anything in.” In the meantime he’s killing thousands and thousands of people. So he’s acting like we’re an aggressor if we send in some old 44-year-old plane that probably gets shot at in the sky pretty quickly, and he’s acting like we’re terrible people if we do that. But he’s killing tens of thousands of people, far more than they’re reporting,’ Trump answered.
‘Well what I would do, is I would — we would — we have tremendous military capability. And what we can do without planes, to be honest with you, without 44-year-old jets, what we can do is enormous, and we should be doing it and we should be helping them to survive and they’re doing an amazing job,’ he said.
He added, ‘One thing I’d do rapidly is I’d get the oil flowing, because if you reduce the price of oil significantly, that war is going to end.’
Varney asked, ‘Well what extra military help you would give the Ukrainians.’
Trump said that ‘drones are just as effective as anything nowadays,’ adding that ‘you can do drones, plus they give back tremendous amounts of information, and the information leads missiles to whatever the hell target they are.’
Biden has also taken steps to punish the Russian economy with crippling sanctions on financial institutions and Kremlin elites, along with a full import ban on Moscow’s energy goods.
Putin launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion of Russia’s neighbor on February 24. For nearly four weeks his troops have been bombarding Ukraine’s cities and slaughtering civilians — many of whom were trying to flee the fighting.
Trump repeated his claim that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ‘would have never, ever started’ if he was still president
He said the US was the ‘greatest nuclear power in the world’ and recalled Putin ‘constantly using the n-word’ — by which Trump meant ‘nuclear.’ “
