I’ve all the time had an excellent relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, however one thing has occurred to him. He has gone completely CRAZY! He’s needlessly killing lots of people, and I’m not simply speaking about troopers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no purpose in anyway. I’ve all the time mentioned that he needs ALL of Ukraine, not only a piece of it, and perhaps that’s proving to be proper, but when he does, it would result in the downfall of Russia! Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Nation no favors by speaking the way in which he does. All the things out of his mouth causes issues, I don’t prefer it, and it higher cease. This can be a Battle that will by no means have began if I had been President. That is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s Battle, not ‘Trump’s,’ I’m solely serving to to place out the massive and ugly fires, which were began by way of Gross Incompetence and Hatred.

Russia has continued to bombard Ukraine at the same time as Trump has taken Russia’s aspect in his failing effort to dealer peace.
