President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion of the country three years ago, arguing Kyiv could have made a deal to avoid the conflict.
“You should have never started it,” Trump said of Ukraine while criticizing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had expressed concern that his country was not included in talks between the U.S. and Russia in Saudi Arabia.
“I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it’s going very well. But today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort. “You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.”
Trump went on to say: “I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land, everything, almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down. But they chose not to do it that way.”
It was literally a surprise invasion that half the EU didn’t even believe was gonna happen and Russia denied was happening. How the fuck are you supposed to negotiate a peace to avoid a surprise invasion that Russia vehemently denied was gonna happen?
What the actual fuck is this bullshit?
I agree tbh, whole thing was provoking Russia by US
One of you should learn to shoot straight.
“9/11 would not have happened if America kept out of the Middle East” ahh energy

Is it illegal to say ‘the president of the united states of america deserves to die’?

Putin’s puppet since Helsinki Summit.
Pretty sure he was already a puppet, that was just the rimming of the ring.
Wait, what was the Helsinki Summit?
The first time a sitting US president and RU president spoke to each other alone with just an interpreter and no official transcript.
And didn’t a load of GOP Congress people fly over for a meeting at one point that no one knows why they did it.
On July 4th to boot
Trump having a .ml Lemmy account was not on my bingo card
He got his tech guys to federate Truth Social with Lemmy
It is everyday when I check the News this Bellend is talking a pile of crap.
“Look what you made me do it to you…”
I’m so fucking tired of this warmongering manchild, and I honestly think he deserves to be publicly humiliated by torture, and killed by public hanging. This comment will be removed, I don’t give a fuck, but this piece of shit does not deserve to live. Fucking fascist piece of scum. Just fucking die already.
If you didn’t want to get robbed, why did you wear that expensive watch?
It’s more like if you don’t want to get robbed, why are you alive?
Pretty provocative existence you’re doing over there
I though Russia was claiming they were attacking Nazis in Ukraine and that’s why they went to war or something… I forget
And Trump is just repeating what his master Putin told him to say.
Not a war, a ‘denazification operation’. (I remember a couple of years ago back on The Website when I saw this post about Russia bombing a Holocaust memorial. So yes, denazification or whatever euphemism Putty wants to use indeed.
Russia took the final step into fascism in 2022.
But its useful to understand that Nazi in Russia, just means someone who opposes Russia, (and Russians can’t see their country as anything other than an imperialist warmonger, spheres of influence and fighting in massive wars is a cornerstone of what Russians think is their national identity thanks to decades of propaganda and abuse)
Calling it a war will land you in gulag comrade
Moronic mouthy bastard has no clue about 99% of what he says
He knows what he is saying. Putin’s hand is so far up Trump’s ass at this point that Trump is basically just a Russian puppet.
He is perfectly and unquestioningly following his owners commands, like any good dog. He just amplifies Putins position on this rape of another country 100%.
