President Donald Trump claimed in part two of a televised interview that the nearly three-year-old war between Russia and Ukraine that started when Moscow’s forces kicked off an invasion in 2022 was the fault of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s failure to preemptively capitulate before Russian troops began their attack.
Trump made the incendiary comments in a pre-taped interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity that aired Thursday on Hannity’s program.
After Hannity asked about Trump’s threat to impose tariffs as a penalty on Russia if the Ukrainian war continues much longer, Trump responded that Zelensky “has had enough” and “wants to settle” with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Zelensky, he said, is “no angel” and “shouldn’t have allowed this war to happen,” even though it was Russia that invaded Ukraine.

In Before Splodey Zeeper Heads
That is how I have felt all along. It’s like Delaware going to war againt the United States. Way too little to win.
No offense to any Delawarian’s on here...
Let’s see…I think another wise man once said…”what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand? And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.” (Luke 14:31-32)
I notice that this news source is using their own words to kind of rearrange what Trump actually said. LOL
What’s new?
Only Ukrainians?
Oh wow, you mean. Maybe we could just send them to Canada.
$$$$ train for himself & our corrupt congressmen and women is about to end.
Of course, by your logic, we should all surrender to the Deep State now.
As expected, the President’s words are being twisted.

There have been several rounds of peace talks to halt the Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022–present) and end the Russo-Ukrainian War (2014–present).
The first meeting was held four days after the start of the invasion, on 28 February 2022, in Belarus. It concluded without result.
A second and third round of talks took place on 3 and 7 March 2022 on the Belarus–Ukraine border. A fourth and fifth round of talks were held on 10 and 14 March in Antalya, Turkey.
Leftist source
Money laundry, military industrial complex, filling pockets with U.S. dollars.
That’s why this ANF most previous wars are faught.
Oh no! Rev mommy must really hate Trump!
I didn’t see the interview. But I think this is fake news, solely because I can’t believe anyone can get a word in during a Sean Hannity interview.
Hannity: Let me ask a question. Then let me answer my own question. Then we’ll move on to my next question.
I am in favor of Rahm Emanuel being sent to lead volunteers on the front line. He was very critical of Pete Hegseth’s leadership skills which is quite interesting since Hegseth led men in combat and Emanuel’s only combat or military service was at the Evanston School of Dance.
Well plus the added notation the guy running the Ukrainian side is not all that up and up.
But how much money can the U.S. throw down the drain on a war that is not winable, which I really think it is not.
Our own country is drowning in debt and has many needs.
Zelensky and the rest of his government would have been dead. To argue that you can’t defend your country is ridiculous.
