• Former national security advisor John Bolton said "Putin saw Trump doing a lot of his work for him."
• Trump considered withdrawing the US from NATO while he was president.
• Bolton said it's one of the reasons that Putin did not invade Ukraine during Trump's time in office.

John Bolton, who served as President Donald Trump's national security advisor, on Wednesday said that Russian President Vladimir Putin didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was in office because "Putin saw Trump doing a lot of his work for him."
Bolton pointed to Trump's outspoken criticism of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the military and diplomatic alliance established in the wake of World War II.
"I think one of the reasons that Putin did not move during Trump's term in office was he saw the president's hostility of NATO. It was widely reported in American media," Bolton said during an interview with SiriusXM's Julie Mason. "And to Putin's mind, it's a binary proposition: a weaker NATO is a stronger Russia."

Bolton's comments come as Trump has repeatedly insisted that Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he were president.

Leftists just can't handle that Trump was so much more effective because he wasn't a limp wristed control freak with zero judgement like the incompetent, idiot Biden, huh?

You still demanding cheap gasoline?

Gas has always been dirt cheap in this country, still is

Congress had already designated the money for Ukraine.

Ah the shiteater is looking for lunch. You don't have a handy homeless camp near you that would let you scrape the sidewalks. Move. Go closer to the source of your sustenance. Wash your face you have a bit of diarrhea on your chin.

One of our top national security advisors actually thought Putin wanted NATO to spend more on defense? Since that's what Trump did. This is the guy liberals want foist up? Wow.

Piss on that Neocon POS....Maybe if (just like "W") he had went to Vietnam instead of state-side NG/Reserves he might not be so keen on war.

Why??? What does one have to do with the other?

You know what would be cool, if any of the Democrat leadership had actual business experience. The closest is Nancy Pelosi and her man making themselves rich on insider trading

 

[Papageorgio]

Hey if your intention is to support Putin ...have at it.

He needs useful idiots

I figured you'd get the humor, with the laughing face, apparently you aren't that bright. I apologize for thinking you were intelligent.

Oh I absolutely agree. I used to have a chart that showed a comparison of gas in 1960 to 2020. But, Americans want real cheap gasoline while screaming about communism and socialism.

Trump was making noise and taking bows. Obama had already gotten NATO to increase their contributions incremental.

I was a lifelong Republican until Bush and Cheney invaded Iraq. Why do you think I'm a leftist? Trump changed parties 5 times and he was always a liar and a cheat.

Hilarious to see you licking the boots of one John Bolton, the Ultimate Neocon.

It's no surprise that Putin has been looking to divide and weaken NATO for years. When Trump said he wanted to leave NATO because it was "obsolete," this was music to Putin's ears because without the US, NATO would likely collapse in short order. Trump even threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine. All of this played into Putin's hands. What do you think all of Trump's secret backroom deals with Putin was about? Obviously Putin was paying Trump.

Trump is so damned dumb and he'll say anything to get press coverage

 

[Papageorgio]

I don't get it, the Democrats are now upset with Trump for making NATO allies pay and making NATO strong. and keeping Putin from invading Ukraine. I guess they wanted Russia to invade Ukraine?

I was hoping he was smarter than a fifth grader but, hell, he isn't smarter than a first grader.

It's UKRAINE

Calling it "THE" Ukraine relegates it to a region of Russia

OMFG. Thank you for the free meme.

Trump is ignorant and stubborn. ... All he really wants is to be the center of attention.

So the US withholding military was music to Putin's ears, why didn't Putin invade while Trump was in office and instead wait a year after Biden is in office? Did he want more of a challenge?
