But there wouldn’t have been a war, because turmp would have given Putin military intelligence and weapons to overwhelm Ukraine on Day 1 of the invasion. A big, beautiful annexation. And mass executions.
You might be correct about that but it’s not likely - he may have postponed but Trump is so much Putin bitch that trump would have rolled over no matter what Putin did.
If Trump had been president, Russia had won the war in 5 days as Putin thought he would bc USAs army had helped
Remember Trump always been on Russia side
Last time Trump was president, he blackmailed Zelensky when Ukraine desperately needed aid. Maybe if not for him, it wouldn't have gotten this far to begin with.
Except he was already in the Donbas. And Trump did zero to get him to leave. But your point is still on point. Putin could get whatever he wants in Trump whether it was in 2020 or now. 2.0.
Exactly! When Putin entered Crimea, the US was already in Iraq, Afghanistan and we were dealing with ISiS in Syria. US forces were stretched. Someone needs to ask Trump “What did you do other than to set up Putin’s invasion?”
TBH, Trump thought invading Iraq was wrong, and he said so in the campaign against HRC. It was a Neocon project to try to transplant democracy by force in the ME. The occupation of Crimea was a response to Yanukovych (Putin supported president of Ukraine), running away after Maidan.
I don't think Trump had any role in Ukraine before his first presidency. He was only interested in finding dirt on his present and perceived future opponents.
No Russian ‘journalist’ is ever really a journalist. We all know Putin had a spy (or a hit man) in the Oval Office today!! Is that why trump was so deranged?
Was he putting on a desperate show for his ‘boss’?
Trump started it by withdrawing 12000 troops from Germany that served as a deterrant to Russian aggression. He did the same thing in Afghanistan.
Showing US weakness and emboldening Putin. Trump is to blame, he should resign.
I believe that was True. If Trump had been in power Putin would have just economically punished them and manipulated their markets and their social interactions in order to accomplish the same task of trying to override the country. Because Trump is a coward when it comes to Putin.
If Trump had been president, the US would have invaded Ukraine on behalf of Russia. Listen to the Gaza proposal for a minute and you will see the trend.
I believe that Putin’s deal with Trump was not to invade Ukraine until Trump was re-elected in 2020. In a second/last term, he’d let Russia roll right through Ukraine bc Trump had nothing to lose. Biden’s win screwed that up. Until now.
Notice how he seems to be totally oblivious to the fact that in his petty desire to attack Obama for the invasion happening during the Obama Admin, he admits that Russia invaded Ukraine.
He was invading it during his first term! He had 4 years and didn’t stop it! Ohhhh right he didn’t have the congress in his pocket to serve Ukraine up to Russia
There is absolutely no coincidence the 2014 Winter Olympics was in Sochi. Putin could move military to stategic places without anyone thinking it was strange. And why Sochi? South? And close to Ukraine, the sea and Crimea.
Putin would have succeeded, because Trump would not have passed on the intelligence about the attack which allowed the Ukrainians to defend themselves because they knew it was coming!
Well no they wouldn't have since the Shitstain Orange Shitweasel Anti-Christ Felon Fake President would have just handed Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter with Zelenskyy's head.

Putin has been preparing this the last 11+ years.
