Trump calls on Putin’s “bull—” at cabinet meeting in Ukraine War

president Donald Trump At the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Russian leader Vladimir Putin took a different tone to Russian leader Vladimir Putin and shouted “Bull–“.

Trump contrasts sharply with the aid his administration sent in Ukraine during his first term with the aid approved by former President Barack Obama.

“I gave them javelins. Remember? They said, ‘Trump gave them javelins and Obama gave them bed sheets.’ Yes. “That was a war that should have happened. Many people are dead and should end. I don’t know, we got…we got a lot of bulls-Putin threw it to us. If you want to know the truth. He has always been friendly, but it turns out to be meaningless. ”

When Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, Obama rejected Ukraine’s request for deadly aid and instead provided non-lethal military aid, including items such as blankets, night vision devices and medical supplies. In December 2017, Trump approved the sale of javelin missiles and launch units, marking a shift in U.S. policy to Ukraine.

Trump said on Tuesday that the challenge of the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan gave Putin a green light to launch his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

“I think if you’re not in Afghanistan, I don’t think Putin would be in. I think when he looked at how stupid and incompetent his actions, he said, ‘Wow, this might be an opportunity.” “We’re dealing with him now, too. We’re not satisfied with Putin. I’m not satisfied with Putin, and I can tell you a lot now because he’s killing a lot of people, a lot of them are his soldiers, his soldiers and their soldiers, most of the time. Now there are up to 7,000 per week. I’m not satisfied with Putin.”

He should be equal.” “We should give them the same, otherwise we should have less stuff than Europe because it’s much bigger than our impact. But we’re there for more than $300 billion. Europe is there, more than 100 billion, but Europe still gives a lot of stuff.”

“I’ll say that. Ukrainians, whether you think it’s unfair to pay or not, they’re very brave because someone has to run these things.” “And a lot of people I know won’t run it. They won’t have the courage to do it. So they fought bravely, but we gave them the best equipment in the world. So far, we’ve made the best military equipment. No one shut down.”
