Trump Heard Telling Golfer John Daly He'd 'Hit Moscow' If Putin Caused Trouble
Newsweek ^ | 3.4.2022 | Patricia McKnight

Posted on 03/04/2022 9:31:57 PM PST by libh8er

In a phone call to golfer John Daly, video appears to show former President Donald Trump saying he was friends with Vladimir Putin while in office, but claimed he threatened the Russian president with 'hitting Moscow' if he attempted to cause trouble.

A video posted to the @nopopsgolf Instagram showed Daly's conversation with a voice presumably belonging to Trump on speakerphone. The two discussed nuclear weapons and alleged threats he said he made towards Putin.

"They're all saying, 'Oh he's a nuclear power,'" Trump said. You know, he was a friend of mine. I got along great with him. I say, 'Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow." I said, 'We're gonna hit Moscow.'"

While Trump and Daly spoke about the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, it's unclear what Trump exactly meant by "it," referring to actions by Putin while he was in office.

In public, Trump was pretty pleasant to the leaders of America’s enemies. But that’s in public. In private, he kicked them bloody. Trump tightened the leash so hard on Kim, famines ensued. He was seizing ships at periodic intervals. Biden loosened those sanctions by ending that program. And lo - flush with cash, Kim started testing new missiles again.

Trump ramped up sanctions on Russia. He exited worthless missile and Open Skies treaties that Putin did not live up to, that Biden wants to revive. He struck Russian ground troops for the first time in a century*, killing 200 of them, something even Trump-hating Newsweek acknowledges:

Trump’s relationship with the leaders of America’s enemies is a lot like domestic abuse - pleasant in public appearances together and serious beatdowns in private. That is why Kim and Putin respected Trump - his pimp hand kept them docile.

* The last time a president ordered US troops into action against Russian grunts was just after the Bolshevik Revolution. Woodrow Wilson sent the Polar Bears to help the Whites against the Reds.

The biggest mistake Biden made was saying we would do nothing.

Strategic ambiguity is a most important diplomatic technique. Trump knows this well.

“Mutually assured destruction”. It was Cold War doctrine and worked with Russia. Not so sure with Islam or Biden in the WH.

If they were discussing nuclear war and Trump said “IF you do it, I’ll hit Moscow” didn’t that make perfect sense?

Oh. My. God. And we all know for certain the media would never ever tell a lie when it comes to Trump.

Exactly. In both Ukraine and Afghanistan Biden just told the enemy what he wouldn’t do, no matter what they did. Idiotic.

From an advance copy of ‘Art of the Deal with Evil Dictators’ by President Donald J. Trump:

An example of the deal with NK: ‘Nice little country you got here, Kim. Be a shame if became a smoking heap of rubble.’

Later as Putin was dealing with Biden regarding Ukraine, Vlad was heard to say: ‘Trump, you magnificent bastard. I read your book.’

Thank you. Im so tired of so many on FR saying this is all a fake war, faked photos, globalists created. We have many friends in Kiev, the war is real, people are suffering and dying!. They are fighting really really hard to be free. I thought freepers would admire them as fellow patriots willing to die to keep their country free. They dont want to go back to a fascist dictatorship!

But “they have corruption at the top”. So they should be left alone to have their country destroyed. The FR reasoning these days.

Ummm, like we dont? We have corruption in every branch of government and every pillar of our culture. Does that mean it woukd be ok for China to come rolling in to take us over? Ive just been amazed at the harsh ugly comments from people who know nothing nothing about Ukraine just downplaying it like they are not worth a wasted thought.

If they were discussing Putin wanting to take Ukraine or Eastern Europe, it makes perfect sense as well, and more sense in the context. Putin already knows if he launched a nuclear strike that our response would doubtless be likewise. What he didn’t know, and would be interested in inquiring about, would be an individual President’s reaction to a nonnuclear invasion of a particular sovereign European nation. He would want to see first hand Trump’s reaction to the question and if that reaction had actual resolve behind it. Putin behaved, during Trump’s administration, as if he genuinely believed Trump had told him to take Ukraine would result in a nuclear strike. Putin behaves now as if he had asked the same of Biden and had instead been told, “No, I would not go that far to defend Ukraine,” or had been told there would be retaliation unconvincingly.

Short youtube video by a Ukranian, graphically showing Putins exploits in many countries..
He wants to recreate the Soviet Union and will not stop at Ukraine.

There was even a speech in last few days where he said in Russian “Soviet Union” borders but the translator said “Russian” borders. Several peopke who knew Russian caught the translators mistake .

Don’t let the haters get you down. They may be posting a lot, but they’re few in number.

Every Republican I’ve spoken with in person is strongly pro-Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini!

If someone attacks us with nuclear weapons I would hope we nuked them back. Not threaten them with severe sanctions.
