Donald Trump: I’d have let Putin annex part of Ukraine to end the war

The former president told Sean Hannity’s radio show:...Mr Trump added: “That’s without even negotiating a deal. I could have negotiated. At worst, I could have made a deal to take over something, you know, there are certain areas that are Russian speaking areas, right, like, but you could have worked a deal. And now Ukraine is just being blown to smithereens.”

As long as Putin agreed to just annex the very Russian parts, if they voted for reunification, that would have been the best way to prevent a war, imo.

[Sacajaweau]

Been saying that right along.

Zelensky isn't even at war with Russia. It's the USA and the EU vs Russia. Zelensky is just donating his people as fodder.

Pretty harsh....I know. But what is...is.

[Republican Wildcat]

This war would have probably never even occurred if he were President to have warranted said negotiations.

[kabar]

Implement the 2015 Minsk Agreement.

The USA had its very own “color revolution”, and a regime change which satisfied the MIC.

Sorry, I can’t buy that.

Putin’s Russia is currently sticking posters up saying Russia has no borders. Ukraine is the fourth country neighboring Russia that has been invaded by Putin.

Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, DPR, LPR, Crimea, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. All regions Russia annexed after Russia flooded them with an implanted Russian speaking population.

You telling me Trump, who wanted to build a physical wall to keep illegal immigrants out, would endorse a policy of “Russia can have any region it likes as long as that regime has a sizeable number of illegally implanted Russian speakers in it”?!

If Trump really said that, he’s a bloody idiot. Half the bloody Warsaw Pact countries have a population that had Russian language drilled into them by the Soviet Union. Does Putin think those Russian speakers need “protecting “? Yep. Soviet style protection.

I can’t believe Trump basically said, publicly, he endorses a capitulation to Russia’s expansionist protection racket strategy. China, and the Islamists, would love that.

Ukraine has been killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas region since 2014. That was one of the main reasons Putin gave when starting this war.

[logi_cal869]

They wanted this war. They’ve been planning it for over 10 years.

I seriously doubt that he’d have been successful. Neocons will NEVER let Russia be friends with the US.

They are more heinous than liberal progressives.

Delaying the inevitable is not an end. Russia leaving Ukraine including Crimea is the means to the end that prevents Putin from pursuing additional goals to control Southern and Eastern Europe. Land for peace (how has that idea worked for Israel?) means Russia will invade again the first chance they get. This the same as cutting a deal with Japan after Pearl Harbor or Al Qaeda after 9/11. Trump is a year behind everyone else on this.

bttt

[McGruff]

he sounds like:

Joe Biden told Putin the same thing, just before rat Putin launched his invasion to capture Kiev. Biden and his State Department told/communicated to Putey that a limited invasion was OK by him.

But Shazam! Putey decided to go for all of Ukraine, via a decapitation strike to chase Z and his top leaders into exile in Poland and Europe. I was surprised when the Russian army failed spectacularly. Make that the Russian idiot army, with everyone from top to bottom stripping what they could to sell.

What kind of fake, degenerate, cancerous Tsar wants part of Ukraine? He wants it all. To bring back the USSR and the lands that the real Tsars ruled

Trump and Chamberlain... Two of a kind. Trump isn’t a Conservative or a Republican... He’s a conman pure and simple.

[ifinnegan]

If Putin would go along with it.

Trump I’m sure can be persuasive.

[ifinnegan]

You made up a straw man.

[ifinnegan]

You’re a moron.

Ann Coulter. Is that you?
