U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump exchanged foreign policy views on Russia's war against Ukraine during the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. election in Atlanta, Georgia on June 27.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, boasted that he could easily bring about a settlement between Kyiv and Moscow and criticized President Volodymyr Zelensky, while Biden maintained support for ongoing military aid to Ukraine and a strong NATO.
"I will have that war settled between (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin and Zelensky as president-elect. Before I take office on Jan. 20, I'll have that war settled," Trump claimed during the debate, which aired on CNN.
Biden responded by calling Putin "a war criminal."
"He wants all of Ukraine. That's what he wants," Biden said.
"And then you think he'll stop there? Do you think he'll stop when the, if he takes Ukraine? What do you think happens to Poland, Belarus? What do you think happens to those NATO countries?"
Biden also pointed out that NATO allies have provided as much funding for Ukraine as the U.S. has.
Trump said that Putin's stated terms for a ceasefire, which involve Ukraine's surrender of Russian-occupied regions and abandonment of its NATO bid, were "not acceptable." He did not provide any details on his proposed peace settlement.
Trump also said during the debate that Ukraine has taken too much military aid from the U.S. and referred to Zelensky as a "salesman." He claimed that had he been U.S. president in 2022, Russia would not have launched the full-scale invasion in the first place.
On the campaign trail, Trump has repeatedly suggested that he would end the war within 24 hours if elected, while refraining from sharing the specifics of his plan. His advisors have proposed withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine unless Kyiv agrees to negotiate with Russia.
When you support the Ukraine War and funding the Zelensky/Biden Laundromat, you sleep in the same bed as Democrats, not President Trump.
You've never seen him saying "Slava Ukraini!" or waving a blue and yellow flag, have you?
I think you should mind your own business and not bother people on unrelated threads.
I GUARANTEE I’m a stronger supporter of Donald Trump than you, and a stronger life long conservative.
Take your kooky abuse and peddle it somewhere else.
Let me tell you what you fake phoney frauds are, you are one issue “conservatives” and you will abandon Trump in a heartbeat if for a second he didn’t support your beloved Russia against the evil Ukraine.
I support Trump. You are dirt on my shoe and you couldn’t hold a candle to me as a conservative.
You’re just an annoying fake conservative.

How do you propose proving you’re a stronger supporter of President Trump and a stronger life long Conservative than I am?
You sound unhinged. I must have hit a nerve.

And you're funny, funny like a clown...
Listen jackass you came in a thread I didn’t participate in and started calling me a Biden supporter.
I wouldn’t waste my time proving anything to you if your life depended on it.
Get lost. You kooks start an argument and then want to know how I’m going to prove my answer to you.
Don’t care.

You’re the one who brought it up in this post:
>>>>I GUARANTEE I’m a stronger supporter of Donald Trump than you, and a stronger life long conservative.<<<<
If you can’t prove something you’ve guaranteed, your guarantee is meaningless, you’re just shooting your big mouth off.
I call bull rap. It sounds like something that a jagbag like Dick Cheney would say. Leftists always crow about what a wonderful conservative they are.

Or Mitt Romney.
Williams does seem like a Mittens Romney type.
Screw off I wouldn’t even bother with you if you hadn’t started insulting me in a thread I wasn’t following.
You’re obviously just an obnoxious pair of twits.
Mittens' little groupie is nasty piece of work!
I messaged you to keep you in the loop Bill.
Yep. They’ve been extra-unhinged since the debate.
When I heard Biden hissing all of his comments about Ukraine and Russia, I thought he sounded just like a zeeper.
And Trump sounded a lot like us.

Biden sounded and looked how I imagine zeepers look. Nonsensical and zombie-like.
Trump on the other hand was us...Americans who love this country and put its well-being over all other countries.
