Trump: Putin's recognition of the independence of eastern Ukraine is a genius move #The situation between Russia and Ukraine ##普京: Resolutely oppose Ukraine's accession to NATO # Russian President Putin signed a decree recognizing the "Donetsk People's Republic" and the "Luhansk People's Republic", and former US President Trump praised Putin's approach. Trump said I was looking at the TV screen yesterday, "and I said, 'This is genius.'" Putin declared the independence of a large part of Ukraine. Oh, and that's awesome. When asked about the news, Trump added: "I said, 'How smart does this have to be?' He will send troops to Ukraine to be the guardians of peace. ”
Trump said "baselessly" that the Russian president chose to "invade" Ukraine now rather than during his presidency because he had a better relationship with Putin than President Biden. Trump said, "I know Putin very well. I got along very well with him. He likes me and I like him. I mean, you know, he's a strong guy with a lot of amazing charm and pride. He loves his country, you know? He loves his country. Trump also linked escalating tensions in Ukraine to longstanding U.S. conservative grievances against immigrants, saying the U.S. should use tactics similar to Russia's use of military force to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. "We can use it on our southern border," he said. It was the most powerful peace force I had ever seen, and there were more army tanks than I had ever seen. ”
Trump also believes that the U.S. response to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is not strong enough. Asked if he was concerned about the U.S. military involvement in the Ukraine conflict, Trump again mentioned the U.S.-Mexico border and used it to criticize Biden. Trump said, "I'd rather see them send soldiers to our southern border, and I don't like the idea of him sending a small number of troops." [The U.S. initiative] is a joke compared to the other side, you know, he (Biden) sent 3,000 people, this morning I heard that it was 3,000 people, so what else can he do but get in trouble? ”
Asked at a Feb. 22 briefing, Psaki said, "Former President Trump called Putin's move 'genius' and 'cleverness,' and what was the White House's response to that?" Psaki responded, "As a policy, we try not to accept anyone who praises President Putin and his military strategy." Psaki also referred to Trump's comments to the G7 leaders in 2018, saying at the time trump said Crimea, which was "annexed" by Russia after the 2014 "invasion", was part of Russia because everyone there spoke Russian. Psaki also said Trump had "expressed an open mind" to lifting sanctions against Russia's 2014 "invasion." Psaki further said, "It's a different strategy, a different approach. That's probably why President Joe Biden, not his predecessor, was able to unite the world and the international community in taking steps against Russian aggression. ”
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree recognizing the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic and sending troops into the Donbass region. On the 22nd, Trump praised Putin when talking about the situation in Russia and Ukraine in a talk show called The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. He said that Putin's declaration of independence from the two regions of Eastern Ukraine is "really genius", which is really fantastic. Putin now says that a large part of Ukraine is independent, which means he can enter the region and be a "peace keeper" with the most powerful peace forces, "how clever that is." Trump also said the Russian president chose to "invade" Ukraine now rather than during his presidency because he had a better relationship with Putin than President Biden.
"I know Putin very well. I got along very well with him. He likes me and I like him. Trump said, "I mean, you know, he's a strong guy with a lot of great charisma and pride." But his way — he loves his country, you know? He loves his country. Trump also criticized Biden. He believes that Biden's response to Putin's actions has not been strong enough, and Biden's handling of Ukraine has been terrible. During Biden's presidency, crude oil prices soared, and Russia became rich as a result.
