US President Donald Trump believes that the reason for the war in Ukraine was the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. He stated this today, speaking to senior officers at a military base in Virginia.
"We had a terrible performance in Afghanistan, which is, I think, the reason why Putin entered there (Ukraine. — EADaily). He saw this terrible spectacle staged by (Joe) Biden and his team of incompetent people. And it showed — I think it opened the way for him," Trump said, quoted by Sputnik Armenia.
According to the American leader, the US withdrawal from Afghanistan was the most shameful day in the history of the United States. He stressed that he would not allow this to happen again.
Trump expressed his point of view on the beginning of SMO, talking about the settlement of the conflict. He noted that the United States "will have to settle one issue" with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine by Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky. "We need to get them together and do it. But the only way to do that is by force," he explained.
As reported by EADaily, US President Donald Trump, who previously called Russia a "paper tiger" and promised not to do it anymore, said that he called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "paper tiger". Pearls from the American leader sounded during his speech today to the American generals.
