On Monday, European leaders condemned Vladimir Putin for his ongoing military aggression in Ukraine, contrasting sharply with former President Trump's comments, where he redirected blame towards Biden and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Trump stated the war could have been avoided if Biden and Zelenskyy had acted competently. His envoy, Steve Witkoff, suggested a potential peace deal with Russia focusing on territorial claims and security protocols, stirring concerns among European allies regarding Putin's expansive demands, which could impact NATO's role and future security in the region.
The mistake was letting the war happen. If Biden were competent, and if Zelenskyy were competent -- and I don't know that he is... You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.
And you take a look at Putin -- I'm not saying anybody's an angel, but I will tell you, I went four years, and it wasn't even a question. He would never -- and I told him don't do it.
Biden could have stopped it, and Zelenskyy could have stopped it, and Putin should have never started it. Everybody's to blame.
What Putin's request is to get to, have a permanent peace... thereâs security protocols, there's no NATO, NATO Article Five, I mean, it's just a lot of detail attached.
