“Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful,” Trump said. “He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal.”

Summary

In a Fox News interview, Donald Trump argued that Ukraine should not have resisted Russia’s 2022 invasion, claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Vladimir Putin.

Trump criticized Zelenskyy for choosing to fight, compared the military strength of Russia and Ukraine, and said he could have ended the war quickly through negotiations.

Trump’s stance contrasts with Joe Biden’s strong support for Ukraine, including aid and sanctions on Russia.

    Yeah, but for Trump to use the strategy of flooding the market with cheap oil, there had to be a war. Without the war and the sanctions it wouldnt be possible to cripple russia with cheap oil.

    I just say this because it sounds like you mean, that Trump is smart to come with this idea. But it still didnt happen and it wouldnt be so effective if there was no war.
