Former President Donald Trump said the US should not be involved in the Ukraine-Russian crisis, calling it a 'European problem' after Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to hold talks with Germany, France and Ukraine while Joe Biden said he would deploy troops to the area 'in the near term' without backing from NATO.
Speaking with conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Saturday, Trump said the US should keep out of Europe but doubted Germany could help broker a peace agreement due to its gas dependence with Russia through the Nord Stream 2 pipeline deal.
'They're getting their energy from Russia, so Russia has total control over Germany,' Trump said. 'And Germany's saying, 'Oh, we don't want to fight them.' They can't fight them.
'Russia owns Germany,' he reiterated.
The $11 million Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was designed to double the gas flowing directly from Russia to Germany, a project that has faced criticism in Europe and the US as it provides the Kremlin dangerous leverage over Europe.
Trump called it 'one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen,' and said he warned then-German Chancellor Angela Merkle of the implications.
'And I'm the one that brought that up. Nobody even knew about it,' Trump said. 'I used to talk about it all the time.
He added that when Germany agreed to the pipeline deal, he sent over a white flag to Merkle.
'It's a white flag of surrender,' Trump said. 'I told Angela, you're turning your whole country into Russia.'
Trump's comments come a day after Biden vowed to mobilize troops in the Eastern Europe without NATO's backing.
'I'll be moving troops to Eastern Europe and the NATO countries in the near term. Not too many,' Biden said as he got off Air Force One after a trip to Pittsburgh.

Biden completely and suddenly abandoned Afghanistan as not being our problem. He’s effectively abandoned our own Southern Borders. So why is the Ukraine, Germany, France et al and the Russians now OUR problem? Biden won’t even vaccinate illegals (migrants) slipping in the US now; why is it we have to threaten over Ukraine? The BEAR as a potential threat to Europe is THEIR problem. Screw them. Make them fund their EDF, abolish our participation in NATO and let them deal with Ivan...
“Trump’s comments come a day after Biden vowed to mobilize troops in the Eastern Europe without NATO’s backing.”
Run along, little Foey. You can’t play with the big boys. Someone may get hurt. I know. Let’s play Fix the Mexican Border!
You can remove the sarcasm because it may be his very goal.
“a lot of that “trolling” relies on statements by no less than POTUS and the UK PM”
Thanks for the civil conversation.
Please show me any evidence that Biden or the UK PM have made any statements regarding sending troops to Ukraine to fight. I have only seen deployments going to other vulnerable states like the Baltics and possibly Romania, NATO members.
82nd ABN veteran. so, GFY
You go lick Putin’s boots and grab your AK in Russia.
My call for getting out of Afghanistan after 6 months is hardly neo-con. I’d suggest that the bootlickers are Neville Chamberlain puss n boots appeasers is more accurate.
We nor NATO or militarily doing anything in Ukraine, simpleton. The consequences for Russia will be economic and diplomatic.
Biden shuts down our pipe line and gives Putin the Nord Stream 2 pipeline deal.
Biden’s war ensues
NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRT
Ukraine is not our concern, we should have made an alliance with Russia against China, but the Globalits would not allow it.
I’m worried about our border first.
Absolutely. Our border is critical and Democrats are commie bustuds.
Nobody is sending US or NATO troops to Ukraine, that would be stupid as we need to prepare for a very possible peer war with China that will be a tech NavAir and strategic strike battle.
If Russia invades they will get their banking and trading with the West restricted and Nord Stream 2 money maker cutoff.
Dems and ex-bushies are already trying to use the "You're with us or against us trick."
You have made 51 posts in just the past 6 months from pro-Putin, Viktor Medvedchuk-controlled websites 112.international/112.ukraine.
And Medvedchuk is among the top-3 Ukranian quislings competing to be installed as Soviet puppet-state comrade-in-queef by Putin later this month.
Explain yourself. NOW. We're not having this here on FR any longer. You post 51 times in 6 months from pro-Soviet websites, and also post 69 times in 6 months from pro-China/pro-CCP websites, you have been found out. It's over. Who put you up to this? What did they offer you?
If so much as one American, or American serviceman, is harmed before, during, or after Putin's illegal Ukranian war, that's not going to be a good look for you here, after having pimped hard for Medvedchuk's Soviet point-of-view, and having done so by pimping Medvedchuk's websites, on a site -- the only site in the world -- dedicated to American constitutional conservatism.
I told you very plainly last time that you will not post here any longer without my reminding every Freeper that you are a simp, a stooge, an anti-American subversive. And now you know my word is bond.
Merkel’s father was an East German scientist. She’s a communist through in through
Clarification: he took that job after East Germany was East Germany. In other words it wasn’t that he always worked there
IIRC, he was a pastor.
But believe it or not, he went to the GDR from West Germany in the early fifties to bwork as a - wait for it - pastor, in an absolutely atheist country.
Still, his daughter was allowed to go to university there, a privilege afforded only to the children of those who would toe the party line 100 per cent.
You really can bet your head that she is a Commie through and through :-(
The Biden so called administration is in so far over its head that there really isn’t any hope. IMHO!
Thank you -I stand corrected. Guess I should have done more research before commenting that.
Best post of the night.
@redbarry465 This article by Professor Noble on the man who claims – with the help of a corrupt corporatist press on both sides of the Atlantic – to be the US President elect shows Biden is not as popular (and President Trump not so unpopular) as politicians and journalists claim. Biden, as Vice President, fought wars all over the Middle East (“Arab Spring”), provoked Russia by breaking missile agreements, moving troops up to Putin’s border and bypassing the UN to attack and break up Yugoslavia. The Democrats are seen as the war-mongers. They did, after all, found the Klu Klux Klan, start the Vietnam war and were responsible for the Bay of Pigs disaster!
With the whole of the mainstream media against him Donald Trump got at least 3m more votes than last time. He made gains in the House of Representatives and will probably hold on to the Senate. No sitting president has ever received so many votes! He has successfully pursued peace in the Middle East, forced major corporations to pay more tax, brought home thousands of soldiers from conflict zones, avoided war with North Korea and greatly improved the economic lot of blacks and Hispanics at home.

You are very welcome :-)
Though the outcome wouldn’t have mattered much, as long as he would have been loyal to the Communist cause, sadly.
