Trump Again Blames Ukraine for Being Invaded by Russia

"But this was a war, and Russia is a powerful military nation, you know, whether people like it or not, it's a powerful nation," Trump said. "It's a much bigger nation." "It's not a war that should have been started. You don't do that. You don't take on a nation that's ten times your size and you know, military experts " look, look, here, if it wasn't for the greatest military equipment.

Trump blames Ukraine for getting invaded: "It's not a war that should've been started. You don't do that. You don't take on a nation that's 10 times your size ... they took probably a lot of money too."

He's an idiot.... not to demean idiots, but.

"That 13 year old was wearing a cheerleader outfit, and she looked like Ivanka! She was just begging for the 'Shroom'!"

"You don't take on a nation that's ten times your size"

That's why Trump rapes 13 year old girls. He's got that size advantage.

#2 Let's be honest...anyone under 275 he has the size advantage.

So how short of a skirt was Ukraine wearing?

"It's not a war that should have been started. You don't do that. You don't take on a nation that's ten times your size and you know, military experts"

So Trump thinks it is fine for Russia to gobble up all of the smaller weaker nations? What happens when they do that enough that they are stronger than the US?

Trump has Vlad Envy, always has... I mean, why can't Trump invade Canada and Greenland and Panama and wherever the hell else he wants like Vlad can?

And the more he helps making invading your neighbor OK, the more he likes it.

Memories......remember when Putin was rescuimg from Nazis? Only about three years ago. But what happened in those three years? Oh yeah, Rare Earth Minerals discovered in Donbas??? Oh yeah that!

"Launching the biggest European invasion since the end of World War Two, Putin gave a fiery speech on TV declaring his goal was to "demilitarise and denazify" Ukraine.

Russia has repeatedly painted modern Ukraine as a Nazi state, in a crass distortion of history."

www.bbc.com

The saddesy part....MAGAs believed him and today are asking themaelves "so what's so bad about Nazis? "Rather be Nazi than Woke!" And don't lie MAGAs you know you think that!

"Trump again blames Ukraine"

That old jibberjabber again. Nobody believed him the first thousand times.

Trump's age-addled noggin must be in its wash, rinse, repeat stage.

Trump caught on hot mic saying Putin wants to make a deal for me'
thehill.com

... President Trump was captured on a hot mic Monday telling French President Emmanuel Macron that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to "make a deal for me."

"I think he wants to make a deal," Trump said in the East Room of the White House ahead of the meeting between several of Europe's most powerful leaders.

"I think he wants to make a deal for me," he continued. "Do you understand that? As crazy as it sounds." ...

"I think that he [Putin] wants to make a deal for me."

LOL - Wishful thinking on Trump's part.

I'm inclined to believe Mr. Putin has more lofty things on his mind and doesn't give a flying fart about Trump's obsession with winning a Nobel Peace Prize just so he can rub it in the nose of Barack Obama.

IOW, Trump's Inferior Complex is on full display.

"Trump's obsession with winning a Nobel Peace Prize just so he can rub it in the nose of Barack Obama."

I see an easy way for Trumpy to get the Nobel peace prize.

Become emperor of the world.

You know he wants to.

Then everyone in the world gets to enjoy the FAFO.

"Become emperor of the world."

Don't be silly, DONNER.

Wouldn't that require 20 paces at dawn with Putin?

They can't both be Emperor of the World.

#15 | Posted by Twinpac at 2025-08-20 08:27 PM

@#14 ... I see an easy way for Trumpy to get the Nobel peace prize. ...

As do I ...

Provide Ukraine with the weapons needed to fight Pres Putin's unprovoked invasion.

Negotiate a peace where Pres Putin admins his unprovoked invasion of a sovereign Country was wrong, and agrees to return all occupied land to Ukraine, including Crimea.

Agree that the superior fighters in Ukraine against Pres Putin's unprovoked invasion is a reason why NATO needs to have Ukraine in NATO.


#16 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-08-20 08:55 PM

@#15 ... They can't both be Emperor of the World. ...

I agree.

And, at this point, it seems that Pres Putin has owned Pres Trump.

Of course you are right but I am told that Trumpy can play 5D chess.

Should be a big beautiful chocolate cake walk for a Real Genius like Trumpy.

This is his big chance. Ukrainians will gladly take care of that problem for him. Just give them what they need. They'll do the rest.

Russia wants ... Russia to have veto over Western security guarantees for Ukraine
www.politico.eu

... The Kremlin's recalcitrant comments indicate the Trump administration's whirlwind diplomacy has yielded little in the way of results. ...

@#19

OK, my first question would be ...

WTF does Pres Putin seem to think that he has one iota of influence in any security agreements that the sovereign nation of Ukraine enters?

Why is this even an issue?

Lavrov Spells Out Russia's Key Condition for Ukraine Security Guarantee
www.newsweek.com

... Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow must be involved in decisions about security guarantees for Ukraine, calling it a "road to nowhere" without Russia's participation and consent. ...


WTF!!!

#21 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-08-20 09:17 PM

Why is this even an issue?

Because Trumpy and Shady = Dumb and Dumber.

#22 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-08-20 11:08 PM

"Why is this even an issue?"

Because rape culture explains how Trump operates.

#23 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-08-20 11:12 PM

Russia just bombed an American electronics manufacturer in western Ukraine. It only made consumer products. Looking forward to Trump saying nothing about it.

He's taunting Trump as part of his Propaganda Machine back home.

#25 | Posted by Corky at 2025-08-21 01:49 PM

Trump doesn't know what the hell he's doing - but he's got one goal. He wants that Nobel Peace Prize and will go to any extent to say he ended the war.

And he'll pick on the weaker entity because that's the safest route in his mind. Mark it down..........when push comes to shove Ukraine will get the shaft. So I hope that country holds strong.
