Summary

In a Fox News interview, Donald Trump argued that Ukraine should not have resisted Russia’s 2022 invasion, claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Vladimir Putin.

Trump criticized Zelenskyy for choosing to fight, compared the military strength of Russia and Ukraine, and said he could have ended the war quickly through negotiations.

Trump’s stance contrasts with Joe Biden’s strong support for Ukraine, including aid and sanctions on Russia.

    By that logic, it helps China or Iran just as much.

        Alright, if we’re being condescending: Take your conspiracy theory and you can pound sand.

          It wasn’t my intention to condescend; I just figured you might not understand that the US’ strength is primarily due to the fact that the USD is the currency the world trades in. Weakening the USD has a lot of implications for changing the world order, which would benefit Russia.

          Many years ago, Russia and china tried to develop an alternative currency to use in the global energy market. Weakening the US is a major goal for Putin, and so it is for Trump.
