I always felt &#8212; so when I left, there wasn&#8217;t even a chance that this would happen. When Biden got involved, I won&#8217;t say whether or not he handled it properly, but obviously it wasn&#8217;t good, because the war started.&#8221;<br \/>&#8220;Putin went in. The war started. I believe that Putin wanted to get all of Ukraine once he went in. And I think part of the reason he went in is he saw what happened in Afghanistan, how incompetent &#8212; how incompetently Milley and all these guys handled that. It was one of the greatest embarrassments of &#8212; of our lifetimes but maybe in the history of our country. Okay. So Putin went in. I think Putin wanted all of Ukraine. I think if I didn&#8217;t win the election, he would have gotten all of Ukraine. I think he would have taken all of Ukraine,&#8221; he added. <br \/>Trump also said that Putin&#8217;s first choice &#8212; never with him. Ukraine was the apple of his eye. He further stated that he thinks Putin wanted the whole country.<br \/>Responding to a question over whether Vladimir Putin wants peace, Trump said, &#8220;I think he does, yes. I think he does&#8211;<br \/>I think because of me &#8211;I think he really &#8212; his &#8212; his &#8212; his dream was to take over the whole country. I think because of me, he&#8217;s not gonna do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[32942,32,2000,299,657,753,333,14432],"class_list":{"0":"post-63985","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-biden-administration","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-ukraine","13":"tag-ukraine-war","14":"tag-vladimir-putin","15":"tag-zelenskyy"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114429147537421797","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
