āThe conflict between Ukraine and Russia started before President Trump, dolt. He kept the conflict from escalating, unlike Biden.
23MAY12 NFBW: Both of your statements in posts 08842 and 08845 are not true.
Putin
invaded Ukraine on February 24. 2021. Before that Trump gave Ukraine javelins to destroy Russian Tanks in case Putin decided to invade.Ukraine.
There were no Russian tanks in Ukraine to fire javelins at until they were actually headed toward Kiev. I wonder when Trump knew his good friend was planning to launch a full scale invasion into Ukraine. And the only thing stopping Putin as Trump explained to his golfing buddy was the fear that Trump would āhit Moscowā if Ukraine is invaded on Trumpās watch.
"He never did it during my time, John, you know," Trump told Daly. "We're all talking about it. Why didn't he do this in the last four years? Because he knew he couldn't."
"They're all saying, 'Oh he's a nuclear power,'" Trump said. āYou know, he was a friend of mine. I got along great with him. I say, 'Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow." I said, 'We're gonna hit Moscow.'"
In response to 08848 Trump, you might say temporarily kept the Donbas Region conflict from escalating by threatening Putin over his pending Russian invasion into all of Ukraine with a threat that the United States would hit Moscow if he did it.
So Trump was telling Vladimir that the United States on his watch would defend the NAZI regime in Kiev with a Jewish president with a direct military response where Putin lives without NATO or any other allies .
That is very strong affirmation that Trump was on Ukraineās side in addition to giving the Ukrainians those javelins.,
My assessment is that Putin hoped his friend won the second term and Putin witnessed the anti-democratic debacle of the BIG LIE which culminated in chaos and violence on Jan 6 much to his delight.
Putin had already been emboldened by witnessing Trump strain relations with democracies, and diss NATO causing Putin to misjudge the United Statesā willingness to re-engage on the world stage. The US was weakened by Covid-19 while still grappling with the divisions that Trump incited culminating on Jan 6.
āThe chaos and divisiveness that four years of Trump wrought made it seem to Putin that America was weak, broken and Biden could not respond to the invasion plan that TRUMP somehow knew was comingā
