Offered without preamble, from Business Insider:
Former US President Donald Trump, who was impeached for withholding
nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine, said the country's
current crisis "would never have happened" if he were still in office.
Russian
President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine
early Thursday, with Russian troops swarming into the country from its
northern, eastern, and southern borders. [...] Trump released a statement Thursday, saying, "If I were in Office, this deadly Ukraine situation would never have happened!"
Trump earlier this week praised Putin's justification for invading Ukraine as "genius" and "savvy."
"I went in yesterday, and there was a
television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big
portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent.
Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said when asked about the news. "I said,
'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper."
Once again, for the record, nobody was fooled by Putin's "peacekeeping" rationalization for invading the Ukraine; even people in Russia saw through that one. Not Trump, though; he still stans Putin, and is determined to be Putin's useful idiot to the end.
