Ive said that from the beginning. biden wanted Putin to invade Ukraine so that he could have an excuse for the rising gas prices
Weakness invites aggression.
Biden is too stupid to understand that, and his handlers are too arrogant to understand that.
Trump is on target and people here should look carefully at his characterization of Biden’s remarks.
Ukraine is all about provocation that began during the Bill Clinton Presidency with a decision to expand NATO eastwards in the direction of Russia.
The led to the Maidan coup against the Pro-Russian Ukraine government in 2014 and the Russian annexation of Crimea.
Decades of provocations, decades up to and including Biden’s.
I totally agree with Trump here.
Biden isn’t scary enough for Russia, that helped Russia in its decision to invade sovereign Ukraine.
Trump was the toughest guy in a generation against Russia, that’s why Putin never budged a finger when Trump was in office.
My recollection was Harris gave a speech about Ukraine becoming part of NATO which didn’t help since Harris was thought to be finishing Biden’s first term.
Yep.
Covid breaks out just in time to upend Trump’s certain re-election.
War in Ukraine breaks out just as a corrupt president with long-standing criminal and financial ties to Ukraine takes charge, enabling movement of billions of dollars.
Trump was tough on Russia and building up NATO defenses against it, we don’t know how long that would have held Russia back if Trump had continued in office, but Biden did give Putin an indication of NATO weakness.
Induced more than provoked.
When brandon said “minor incursion” Putin knew for sure how weak biden is and that was that.
President Trump suggests the recognition of fact.
Biden is a gift to Putin. Putin wouldn’t have dared if El Trumpo was in the White House. Miss Trump every day.
“Trump suggests Biden provoked Putin into invading Ukraine”
Figures that Trump would say something stupid. Anyone who’s studied the history leading to this war knows that it was the NEOCONS who got it going.
Trump really does need to brush up on this.
Nato didn’t expand the way you make it sound like.
The ex invaded Eastern European countries had been under Russian occupation for decades... they lived through hell.
When the Soviet Russian system momentarily fell, those previously occupied nations regained their freedom. But they had no army to protect themselves in case Russia decided to occupy them AGAIN...
That’s why all previously occupied European eastern countries by Russia ran to NATO for urgent protection.
Without NATO those eastern counters would already have been taken back by Russia.
Proof : Ukraine wasn’t part of NATO - thus it was invaded.
Of course, Trump was re-elected. BidEn only out-counted him.
Absolutely.
Trump is right. Biden was basically begging Putin to do it. Even Zelenskyy was basically telling Biden to STFU about it.
