President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion of the country three years ago, arguing Kyiv could have made a deal to avoid the conflict.
“You should have never started it,” Trump said of Ukraine while criticizing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had expressed concern that his country was not included in talks between the U.S. and Russia in Saudi Arabia.
“I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it’s going very well. But today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort. “You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.”
Trump went on to say: “I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land, everything, almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not to do it that way.”
I though Russia was claiming they were attacking Nazis in Ukraine and that’s why they went to war or something… I forget
Not a war, a ‘denazification operation’. (I remember a couple of years ago back on The Website when I saw this post about Russia bombing a Holocaust memorial. So yes, denazification or whatever euphemism Putty wants to use indeed.
Russia took the final step into fascism in 2022.
But its useful to understand that Nazi in Russia, just means someone who opposes Russia, (and Russians can’t see their country as anything other than an imperialist warmonger, spheres of influence and fighting in massive wars is a cornerstone of what Russians think is their national identity thanks to decades of propaganda and abuse)
Calling it a war will land you in gulag comrade
And Trump is just repeating what his master Putin told him to say.
