Trump REMAINS partial to his asshole buddy Russian President Putin….
Nevernind the missiles aimed at buildings with people in it, hospitals and schools…
Nevermind the bodies left in the street…
One could assume a second Trump presidency would embolden Putin to mount another effort to gobble up Europe….
And Putin woulkd be trying harder this time to help ‘buddy’ Putin…..
(Putin WAS scared of a Hillary Clinton Presidency)
On Thursday, President Biden went all in supporting Ukraine, asking Congress for $33 billion in military and economic aid to the embattled country, ten times more than previously sent.
If you’ve wondered what would have happened to Ukraine had Donald Trump won reelection, wonder no more. Here’s a tipoff that slipped under most people’s radar — but you can bet Vladimir Putin picked it up.
On April 22, in a talk to the conservative Heritage Foundation at the Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Fla., Mr. Trump braggedthat during a NATO conference while he was in office, he threatened that he would not honor the NATO treaty’s Article V, the pledge that all signatories would defend any member attacked by Russia.
Think about the timing of dropping that memory bomb.
Was it an accident that Trump made the comments in a speech while Putin carries out his barbarous invasion of Ukraine? At such a moment, would any politician more concerned about Russia’s purposeful murder of civilians than his own future have boasted of a threat not to defend NATO countries?
I think Trump was sending a message to Putin — the 2022 version of his 2016 campaign invitation to hack Hillary Clinton’s email accounts: “Russia, if you are listening …”
Back then, the implied quid pro quo was that if Trump got the campaign help, he’d return the favor by cozying up to Putin’s strategic objectives, perhaps even reducing sanctions….
…
Now, with Trump’s April 22 braggadocio about having threatened not to defend NATO nations if attacked by Russia, he is playing with fire on a global scale.
Just as he apparently sought to reorder the lawful transfer of power in America on Jan. 6, so he seems to signal now his willingness to restructure the world order. Trump’s comment came on the same day that a Russian commander described how Putin’s focus on taking over the Donbas and southeastern Ukraine is a gateway to neighboring Moldova, which is not a NATO member.
If Trump would not defend NATO members, is there any doubt about what he would do for Moldova?….
