President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine could restore its borders from before Russia’s invasion and that he believes NATO member countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace, escalating his rhetoric against the Kremlin as its war in Ukraine drags on. Taken together, Trump’s remarks on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly about shooting down Russian aircraft and his later post on Truth Social about Ukraine’s borders seemed to reflect a significant shift in his attitude toward Moscow and what the end of the intractable conflict might look like. His comments on Ukraine’s borders represent the first time since taking office that he’s suggested the nation could win back all of the territory that Russia has taken since 2014. He had previously suggested Ukraine would need to give up some of its territory in order to secure a peace deal. And his statement on NATO shooting down aircraft suggests a willingness to put the defense alliance in more direct conflict with Russia than merely giving weapons to Ukraine.

This is part of what I voted for, just in case a war breaks out... we have the best war president, now with dept. of war.
So if NATO planes encroach Russian territory, Russia can shoot them down too, right?
Seems like this is a nothing-burger.
Russian assets and symps will see their heads exploding on this FR thread. LoL.
Still, he could switch back to his pro-Russia stance, in a New York City Minute. Prez Z wise to not put any faith in this guy, and ramp up those Polish, German, French, Dutch, Danish and other assets in-country ASAP and keep drone-hitting RU energy/transport infrastructure hard.
Putinistas are in total meltdown.
I can hear wailing and gnashing of teeth
Putinistas are in total meltdown.
Trump let them know not to expect any American troops to get involved.
He’s mocking European NATO and Ukraine.
Tellin’ them to go ahead and shoot down those Russian fighters and keep buying weapons for Ukraine.
Hell, they could win this thing! lol
“ I can hear wailing and gnashing of teeth”
****************************************
LOL … I see dead people. /s
No one plays the blame game like Donald Trump
Next , President Trump is going to hit those countries buying oil from Russia with massive secondary sanctions
That will show them
LOL...yep
Have said repeatedly, I would support Trump if he determined Ukraine should be sunk into the sea.
And I will support Trump if he now counsels it’s time to resist Russia.
The president tried to be an honest broker. He humiliated the Ukrainian president to get him in line. He offered to accept Russia’s seizure of Ukraine territory.
And sadly, he discovered Putin tried to take advantage of his honest efforts.
Trump support remains the wise path.
“Trump let them know not to expect any American troops to get involved.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
No one ever called for American boots on the ground in Ukraine. What Ukraine needed was a green light from Trump. At first, he withheld it, pressing for a ceasefire. But Putin’s blatant rejection of those peace efforts has shattered the illusion. Trump now sees the Kremlin for what it is: a corrupt, warmongering machine.
You do know that in any military conflict, any outcome is possible.
Oh that’s right, all leftists like to chant that a war can’t possibly be won and is already lost.
“So if NATO planes encroach Russian territory, Russia can shoot them down too, right? “ if their transponders are turned off, Absolutely.
If transponders are on, a quick radio check will tell you if the planes were lost due to nav systems failures. Then escort them home.
nope. just a ploy to get Russia to actually negotiate.
FAKE NEWS
“You do know that in any military conflict, any outcome is possible.”
I encourage them both to fight like there’s no tomorrow, and until they tire of dying.
That ends the war.
