Former President Donald Trump slammed his former comrade Vladimir Putin for the growing death toll in Ukraine - calling it a 'massive crime against humanity' - and blasted NATO for its lack of action during a GOP donor event Saturday.
Trump spoke to Republican National Committee donors in Louisiana during the Spring Retreat in New Orleans, where he covered a wide variety of topics, including the escalating crisis in Ukraine.
Trump also went after NATO, calling it a 'paper tiger' and said the US cannot just stand by while Ukraine is invaded, according to Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey, who obtained a recording of Trump's remarks.
Trump's comments come as Putin's forces have besieged Ukraine and sparked fears that NATO would be drawn into the fighting. Ukraine President Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelenzky has repeatedly begged NATO to enforce a no-fly zone over his country to help thwart Russian air superiority.
However, the US and its allies have resisted, fearing it could put NATO forces in direct conflict with Russia.
During his presidency, Trump had reportedly said multiple times that he wanted to pull the United States out of NATO, a move that aides scrambled to counter.
Speaking of the situation in Ukraine, Trump told donors that the US should put Chinese flags on America's F-22s and then 'bomb the s***' out of Russia, leading to conflict between the nations while 'we sit back and watch.'
He also shared his thoughts on North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un, saying that 'he's absolutely the leader of that country,' and expressed he was impressed at how Jong Un's advisers were 'sitting at attention' when he talked and 'cowered' when he spoke to them.
Trump said one general stood up so fast when spoken to and joked:' 'I want my people to act like

Shhhhh...
If you tell them their delusion (that Trump and Putin planned this together to destroy the “NWO” “cabal” in Ukraine) is not real their heads might explode...
“...it would clearly explain how all the world comes to surround her and crush her.”
Insanity. It would not take the world to surround and crush Israel. That is not done now. They would use missiles.
It is now dangerous to congregate large armies. They can all be destroyed at once with modern weaponry.
I am for dismantling NATO. Let the sniveling Europeans fight Russia. They would not lift a finger to help the USA now it’s their turn for some pain.
“Former President Donald Trump slammed his former comrade Vladimir Putin...”
That is as far as anyone needs to read.
Good point. And as the kids used to say...F that noise.
Out of context or clearly misunderstood what I was trying to convey.
Cancel culture=destruction of Israel
If Israel harbors the Russian Oligarchs $$$$$, the world will simply cancel and crush her. Or as the Bible says...in Luke 21:24...
The Destruction of Jerusalem
…23 How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people.
24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
“They were one country for over 300 years until 30 years ago. That’s a civil war.”
Since Russia relinquished control of Ukraine in the 90s, it is not a civil war, it is a violation by Russia of its own agreement.
And it is most certainly massive crimes against humanity.
“Mexico still wants the American Southwest...”
It is American politicians who initiated that, not Mexico. The Mexican government has never been stupid enough to think it could wrest control of part of the United States.
I disagree with him on this one. We have no alliance treaty with Ukraine and no vital national interest there. This is not our fight. To get involved militarily with a nuclear armed state over something that is not vital to us would be extremely reckless.
“Out of context or clearly misunderstood what I was trying to convey.”
No. I quoted your post: “...it would clearly explain how all the world comes to surround her and crush her.”
How is that out of context? Says not a word about cancel culture.
Or, mean what you say or say what you mean. Israel is just not that big a fish to fry in today’s world.
People try to shoehorn ancient Biblical passages that pertain to back when the world was controlled from the Middle East to modern tiny Israel. It is laughable.
Biden is President, and he’s asleep in Delaware. Let’s focus on him, not Trump.
In today's world of 'cancel culture,' if Israel allows the highlighted version, it would clearly explain how all the world comes to surround her and crush her.
Meanwhile, Jens S. Insists on doing nothing.
I’m going to wait and see which side he doubles down on. One or two comments are not dispositive.
It will be. Next stop, Moldova.

Thanks, I’ve been looking for the latest numbers. People often confuse total number of nukes with number of nukes available for immediate launch, and the numbers are far different.
Do you have a source for those numbers? I’d like to explore more.
They seem very close—almost parity. In any case, enough to destroy most everything on each side. Our nukes are targeted more on their military targets and theirs on our industrial capacity.

China, BTW, is listed as having 3/400 nukes, but has enacted a massive build of silos lately. The numbers of available to launch nukes for them is going up very fast.
Besides the USA, Russia and China, these other countries have available nukes to launch:
Britian
France
Israel
India
Pakistan
North Korea
Iran?
“Trump told donors that the US should put Chinese flags on America’s F-22s and then ‘bomb the s***’ out of Russia, leading to conflict between the nations while ‘we sit back and watch.’”
This reminds me of his bleach and covid comment. IT WAS A JOKE!!! But you had all these dimwits thinking he was serious and getting all shrill and hysterical. Same thing happening AGAIN.
Ah good ‘Ole strategic quotes. We have no idea, as usual, what Trump said because the media never quotes him in context. We’ll know what he thinks at his next rally.
Exactly
I agree with you.
No more sending our best into the meat grinder.
We are not guarding our border, why should why guard Ukraine’s border?
And with gas prices going up everyday, things are going to get bad here real fast.
Charity begins at home.
