Trump blames US for 'almost forcing' Putin to invade Ukraine, says 'dumb' rhetoric taunted Russia

Donald Trump blamed the US and its leadership for "almost forcing" Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.

Appearing on Real America's Voice, Trump accused the US of taunting Putin with "dumb" rhetoric.

Trump repeated a baseless claim that the Ukraine-Russia war would not have happened if he was still president.

Former President Donald Trump blamed the US for "almost forcing" Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine, Newsweek was the first to report.

During an interview on Saturday morning on Real America's Voice, a right-wing network, the former president accused the US and its leadership of goading Putin into waging a botched invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

"They actually taunted him, if you really look at it, our country and our so-called leadership taunted Putin," Trump said. "I would listen, I would say, you know, they're almost forcing him to go in with what they're saying. The rhetoric was so dumb."

It’s not “baseless” to say this war would not have happened with Trump as president

Under Bidenour guy Zelensky openly talked about inviting NATIONAL nukes into Ukraine, aimed at the city of Moscow from right next door.

When the Soviets put missiles into Cuba, JFK threatened to invade, because that was aiming at us from right next door.

Do Biden’s people not know history, or did they WANT to provoke war with Russia.?

I want Trump back. A common-sense, pro-peace president. Unlike Biden, he doesn’t gamble with the lives of the American people by provoking wars

It’s too bad he won’t mention what he’s referring to by name.

Minsk II.

US backed Ukrainian troublemakers had better report to the negotiating table before it’s too late.

What moved Putin to invade was the election of Biden and the debacle in Kabul.

With Biden in the White House, he expected no interference from the US. And he expected little resistance from the Ukrainians.

There would never be a better time to return Ukraine to the fold.

Who is Joshua Zitser and why should I care what he thinks?

Note: this is a rhetorical question.

“Do Biden’s people not know history, or did they WANT to provoke war with Russia.? “

Pretty clear that they WANT this war, as they cannot permit Russia to remain a country free of US domination.
