Do you believe Trump really said or implied that Ukraine started the war with Russia?

of course he said it. He parrots Russian propaganda and now Elmo and JD are too.

Let's put it this way Does Trump even know how old he is? I found this for you

He said it. Zelenski called him out and he got mad.

I think he'll say whatever it takes to weasel out of a position he'd rather not be in.

actually, the BBC aired his comments... heard his stupidity first hand. He is truly Putin's puppet.

He really did say that. It's on video with his real image, his real voice, and his real mannerisms. And, he seems to really believe it. Sadly, his supporters will most likely choose to believe the lie too. I am sure he will claim the USA started World War II next.

On another note, I am agreeable with your Blond Thump for deporting illegal immigrants (especially Indians). Nowadays, general behavior has been, have kids, educate them, send them to America...as if that is what makes them great and successful parents. Jobs are for locals. Not for outsiders. Illegal ones should not usurp them by agreeing to lower wages. No country can plan for excessive guests. The unplanned guests make food, medical, gas prices go up and up... This pulling in relatives is not a patriotic thing at all. As to Ukraine war, I could not get the exact reason Russia started it. Somebody tried to explain. Like post WWII, Russia took extreme measures to recoup. So limited resources generated were deployed in areas that would yield astonishing results. Ukraine was the beneficiary. It was to pay heavy dividends so that Russia could start developing other regions. That did not happen. When Russia disintegrated, Russia expected Ukraine to honor its now implied commitments. Ukraine started to sell the nuclear power to other European nations, denying Russia its due share. When issues were raised, the issue of sovereignity also came up. In some instances, Russia and Ukraine became competitiors

I saw the video where he actually said those words. It’s shocking to hear him spout such rubbish, when clearly Putin invaded Ukraine. It’s great that he want to end the war, but he’s going about it in the wrong way. Siding with Putin and alienating Europe doesn’t give us much hope.

This move was stolen from Hitler's playbook. Adolph claimed that Poland provoked the invasion. Any remaining Nazis should sue him for Intellectual Property Theft.

Us Brits are not happy with this comment. Im pretty sure its not wise t hold elections in the middle of a war .Someone needs to tap Trump on the shoulder before everyone hates him

You have to consider the context, which is what EVERYONE misses. What was the reason Russia invaded? Because Ukraine wanted to enter NATO. Russia opposed that. Zelenskyy did what he wanted anyway. Russia responded. Now, was it RIGHT for Russia to invade? That can be debated. Was it fine for Zelenskyy to pursue something his sovereign nation wanted to pursue? That can ALSO be debated. How one defines, "started it," can be debated as well. Often in life bad things happen because one, with good intentions or bad intentions, puts themselves in a situation for bad outcomes from what they decide to do. With anything, one has to step back, see the forest for the trees, and examine the bigger picture in order to get to the bottom of solving things. I mean, look at the U.S. We were attacked by the British because we decided we wanted our independence. Who started the war? We did, technically. The British reacted to our decision, but the catalyst was our decision to do something the British didn't like. In our case, we won the fight of course. But it doesn't change the context of who started what regardless of who fired the first bullet. Someone calls your wife a wench and you punch him in the face. Who started the fight? The one who threw the first punch or the one who made the first punch necessary? It's all in how you look at it.
