Trump Explains What Prompted Putin To Attack Ukraine

And again he promised to stop the war.

Former US President Donald Trump spoke about a meeting with UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, who urged him to help stop the war in Ukraine, during which, according to Trump, 500 thousand soldiers — Ukrainian and Russian — have already died. He also said that if Hillary Clinton had beaten him in the 2017 elections, the US would have waged a nuclear war with North Korea. The video was published on the YouTube channel Impaulsive.

The 45th US President was asked what he thought about the US allowing limited strikes on Russia with American weapons, after which Russia sent warships to the shores of Cuba.

Donald Trump, the former President of the US claimed once again that the Russian attack on Ukraine would have never happened if he had been President then.

“So many dead people… If we only take soldiers — half a million soldiers from both countries. But so many dead people, so many towns, and villages, and buildings. The magnificent culture is being wiped out,” Trump said.

According to him, the war didn’t happen when he was President, and it wouldn’t have happened because he “got along with Putin very well”.

“I get along with [President of Ukraine Volodymyr] Zelensky, but it wouldn’t have happened, and October 7 would have never happened (the attack of HAMAS militants on Israel — edit.), and inflation would have never happened, and that withdrawal from Afghanistan. We would get out of Afghanistan with dignity and strength. But I think it was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country,” Trump noted.

According to him, the way the United States military left Afghanistan pushed Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to launch a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine.

“You know, the way Afghanistan worked… I think when Putin found out about this, he was like, “Well, let’s go then”. Do you know who else was watching it? The Chinese president, Xi. Now he’s looking at Taiwan and he’s drooling. Something could happen there. We have lost a lot of respect, they are laughing at us around the world. It wasn’t happening four years ago,” Trump added.
