"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.

"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.

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.

"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."

"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.

... 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 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.
