U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump exchanged foreign policy views on Russia's war against Ukraine during the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. election in Atlanta, Georgia on June 27.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, boasted that he could easily bring about a settlement between Kyiv and Moscow and criticized President Volodymyr Zelensky, while Biden maintained support for ongoing military aid to Ukraine and a strong NATO.
"I will have that war settled between (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin and Zelensky as president-elect. Before I take office on Jan. 20, I'll have that war settled," Trump claimed during the debate, which aired on CNN.
Biden responded by calling Putin "a war criminal."
"He wants all of Ukraine. That's what he wants," Biden said.
"And then you think he'll stop there? Do you think he'll stop when the, if he takes Ukraine? What do you think happens to Poland, Belarus? What do you think happens to those NATO countries?"
Biden also pointed out that NATO allies have provided as much funding for Ukraine as the U.S. has.
Trump said that Putin's stated terms for a ceasefire, which involve Ukraine's surrender of Russian-occupied regions and abandonment of its NATO bid, were "not acceptable." He did not provide any details on his proposed peace settlement.
Trump also said during the debate that Ukraine has taken too much military aid from the U.S. and referred to Zelensky as a "salesman." He claimed that had he been U.S. president in 2022, Russia would not have launched the full-scale invasion in the first place.
On the campaign trail, Trump has repeatedly suggested that he would end the war within 24 hours if elected, while refraining from sharing the specifics of his plan. His advisors have proposed withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine unless Kyiv agrees to negotiate with Russia.
Will the threat of losing aid motivate Zelensky to join Putin at the bargaining table?

Two of the biggest losers in last night’s debate was Zelensky and the grotty, barking-mad Zeepers.
Biden: “And then you think he’ll stop there? Do you think he’ll stop when the, if he takes Ukraine? What do you think happens to Poland, Belarus? What do you think happens to those NATO countries?”
Exactly right, strike...
Belarus is not a NATO member state.
The Biden Regime is pathetic.

After last night’s debate the Zeepers have just STFU. They are probably weeping together in one of the government issued cubicles.

Yep. I’ve been reading a few of the other UKE war threads today and zeeper’s are more touchy than I’ve ever seen them.
They’re all having conniption fits. I haven’t laughed so much since Meggie Crockett, the big bear hunter, was banned.

Chilling.
I hope the Soccer Moms were listening and took Trumps words to heart.
I’m not a loser in any debate win by Donald Trump.
Oh and F off.
Your hero's loss in the debate has made you cranky!
Long live the Ukraine! Long live Biden! Lol
Minnesota, Virginia and Colorado are now a “swing states” according to RCP. The Ukraine project to enrich the establishment is now in deep jeopardy.
I am enjoying my schadenfreude and your Deep State tears with a good beer. 😁
Not many Zeeper Freepers have crawled out from under their rocks today.
They must be in mourning after Slow Joe’s terrible debate.
Especially when Trump said he would end the Ruzzian/YouCraynee War.
And Trump will end that War.
