Trump announces US will begin selling weapons to NATO and NATO will be allowed to Provide those weapons to Ukraine. This announcement also comes 1 day after audio of Trump telling his supporters that he Told Putin to his face that he would "Bomb the Sh**" out of Moscow if Russia Attacked the Ukraine
Trump’s stark warning to Putin after Russia drones hit maternity ward: ‘You’ll be seeing things happen’
He replied: "I know. You'll be seeing things happen."
The president’s cryptic remark came less than a day after he told NBC News that he’d be making a “major statement” on the status of the three-year-old Russia-Ukraine war this coming Monday.
In a phone interview, the president said he was “disappointed” in Russia and reiterated his recent pledge to send more weapons to Ukraine, explaining that the U.S. would be doing so through NATO allies that will purchase the weapons from American stockpiles.
“We’re sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%. So what we’re doing is the weapons that are going out are going to NATO, and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine], and NATO is paying for those weapons,” Trump said. “We send weapons to NATO, and NATO is going to reimburse the full cost of those weapons.”
And it also comes after a new book revealed him telling donors that he previously had warned Putin he would “bomb the s**t out of Moscow” if the Russian leader attacked Ukraine.
“With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the s**t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,” Trump said in audio obtained by authors and Washington Post reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf for their new book, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America.
“And then [Putin] goes, like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But he believed me 100%,” they wrote that the president added.
I want to believe that really happened. For all my complaints about Trump, if he told Putin to eat s*** Im completely fine with it. Actually, if true that might be my favorite Trump moment. One thing about having someone mentally unstable in office is our enemies know we are capable of doing some crazy stuff on a whim and keeping them off balance is never a bad thing.
His actions both with Russia and Zelinski don't seem to support this but better late than never on getting behind Ukraine I guess.
