Nikki Haley, who served as United Nations ambassador in Trump’s first term and later challenged him for the 2024 GOP nomination, admonished Trump in a social media post: “These are classic Russian talking points. Exactly what Putin wants.”
Another figure from Trump’s first term joined Haley in her condemnation.
“Mr. President, Ukraine did not ‘start’ this war,” Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, wrote on X. “Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives.”
Blowback also came from the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post, normally a Trump-friendly outlet. The tabloid’s cover on Friday featured a picture of a stone-faced Putin with the headline: “President Trump: This is a Dictator.”
Conservative commentators Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro also disputed Trump's historical rewrite this week.

Nikki, you are NOT a conservative and you HAVE NO FUTURE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY… NONE!
Z cost us a whole lot of money and the people of Ukraine a whole lot of pain, death and destruction.
Neither does Pence.
Neither does Pence.
Don’t know why Levin and Shapiro are so obsessed with Ukraine, maybe they have ancestral roots there.

“Did NATO push Ukraine into war?
“On Gravitas Plus, Palki Sharma tells you how Western arrogance & NATO’s expansionism are also to blame, how their actions precipitated the crisis in Ukraine.”

My tagline explains the situation.
The “we want world war 3” crowd have nothing to offer and aren’t conservative, they’re liberals.
They were ecstatic to throw ever increasing amounts of money at this.
She is correct that Russia started the war, not Ukraine.
Lots of Nikki’s here on FR too!
False.
To quote President Trump: “I love Ukraine.”
We have to have it where no countries have any troops on anyone’s borders, be it in Ukraine or in Mexico. If China/Russia said they were going to create a Central American Treaty Organization it would be a bad idea.
All countries need to pull away from this old way, washed-up empire kind of thinking as amassing members in alliances, etc, agitates others.
And the US/NATO under Obama/Biden attacked Libya though never proving Gaddafi was going to kill 10k of his own people, and did so on offense when NATO is a defensive charter, protects members, and Libya attacked no NATO members. But those who support Obama or Biden will find a way to make excuses for this.
Plus the US/NATO under Liz Cheney’s dad attacked Iraq, no WMDs were paraded before the world though thd US acted like they would easily produce the evidence. But those who support her dad will find a way to make excuses for NATO involvement in this though they cannot go on the offense and certainly not against a country who did not attack a NATO member. The same applies to Libya.
There’s other examples as well.
Point is, the world forgave the US/west and let it go so I think the US can forgive Russia as well and let it go, even if they are/were in the wrong
“Let’s you and him fight.”
Mark Levin has always been a NeverTrumper but toned it down when his audience left.

No, it hasn’t caused a conservative rift. It has only picked the scab off of the Conservative - NeoCon Warmonger rift that has existed for years.
Lindsey Graham must be really pissed at Trump.
Nikki is no more MAGA conservative than hair in my armpit.
