Let me tell you, folks, those Ukrainians, they're doing tremendous things with what they've got. I wish them nothing but the best in their efforts to keep the Russians out. Nobody understands the importance of tight border security better than I do, believe me.

The real Donald Trump would probably stop supplying aid to Ukraine though, and thus force Ukraine to accept the loss of some of their territory. He's said publicly that he would get the war ended as soon as possible if he was president again, and I'm sure this is the sort of end he means.

Another problem with Trump is that he implied in an interview with Tucker Carlson that the US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. I doubt this is true. I think Russia did it. Also, Trump didn't even believe his own intelligence agencies who said that Russia interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.

But... why?...

Even the US stopped pretending that Russia did it because everyone understood that it made no sense.

Why would Russia sabotage one of their main sources of revenue in the middle of a war?

They blew up most of their sources of revenue by going into a war.

I'm willing to entertain this notion if you extend it to America doing Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the Unabomber. Oh, and also Ukraine did the Ukraine war by shelling and raiding the Donbas for 8 years.

That's a lotta bullshit in 2 sentences.

You know that Russia until today still pumps gas through pipes in Ukraine and sells it to Europe? Why wouldn't they start with or at least close/bomb that pipe too then?
