Donald Trump insisted the United States is holding onto better nuclear weapons than Russia as he issued a stern warning to Vladimir Putin. The Russian President put his nuclear arsenal on "high alert" two days into his invasion of Ukraine in February, fuelling fears of the conflict evolving into a global conflict. But speaking to TalkTV, the former US President warned Moscow that Russia would no longer exist should the US deploy its own arsenal




He said: "At the same time, they have a second degree of weapon that is very powerful, and nobody can be allowed to use it, talk about it, threaten with it.

"We have more powerful than them, and there would be no Russia, there would be no Russia.

"But we don't want to talk about that."

Mr Trump said he thought the war was "terrible", adding: "We're going to be ashamed at what we've done, or what we haven't done to stop this catastrophe.






Donald Trump said he would warn Putin not to ever use the word "nuclear" again (Image: TALKTV)
"This is a catastrophe. This is in a way already a world war."

He also reflected on what action he would have taken against Russian leader Vladimir Putin if he was still the US president.

Mr Trump said: "I would say we have far more (nuclear weapons) than you do, far more powerful than you and you can't use that word ever again.

"You cannot use the nuclear word ever again. And if you do, we're going to have problems."

You are confused; Trump is not the President of the USA.

I didn't say neither did the post infer Trump currently being the president of the United States.Did it?

I strongly believe Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Trump was in office.

We can accuse Trump of being anything, but we can never accuse him of being weak.

But he is speaking the truth here...

The US has far more advanced weapons but they won't reveal it or brag with it.

Only empty vessels like Russia and North Korea make noise with Weapon testing and announcements.

There is nothing to brag about with nuclear weapons because there are no winners in a nuclear conflict.

George Bush's madness and love for war is more concentrated than that of Trump,

Yet during his tenure, Putin invaded Georgia.

Putin would have invaded Ukrainia regardless of who sits in the oval office.

Putin's plan to Resurrect the old Soviet Union has no respect for who the American president is. He sees their policy towards Russia as the same.

I object.

One of major reason Trump purposely became close to Putin was so to always put him in check whenever he tries any nonsense.

Do you remember he used same tactics for Kim Jong Un of DPRK?

Trump refused to make use of the normal presidential way of relating to other head of states but rather adopted a one on one relationship strategy.

If we're going to face facts, it worked well.

In one of his recent interviews prior to the Ukraine invasion, Trump said he once told Putin in a meeting that he knew that he(Putin) wants to invade Ukraine but it's an impossibility as long as he's president of the U.S.

Of all the head of states globally, Trump knew that it was only Putin that has got some balls, hence the closeness.

Unfortunately, the mainstream media continually painted a wrong picture for the people; Trump was always bossing Putin and not the other way.

Abeg forget Trump the Racist.

He waisted his time trying to be friends with Putin and Kim Jung un

Trump was and would always be a Russian puppet in the white house.... And that is what Putin's Russia want.

The lead up to his 2016 victory, shows clearly that the Russian regime favour him to be in the white house.... Even though Republicans would disagree.

Forget about the seeming strength that he claims to display, the results were zero.

When he went to the North Korean border to meet Rocket Man, what difference did that make ? ...... NOTHING

Remember when his Puppet Master in the Kremlin warned him about America's Support for Ukraine, he withheld more than $400 million in aid to Ukraine.

He later told Zelenky that he must investigate Joe Biden, before the aid would drop (even though he denied it, we know Trump is capable of such an action)

It took Congress to expose him before the aid was released.

Remember after loosing the State of Georgia in the General Election, he was caught on record trying to persuade a state official to give him votes illegally because that is what his Puppet Master would do.

Trump in the White House is Putin's delight because they see someone they can manipulate....

Authoritarianism in America became a norm during his tenure because that is what he learnt from his Puppet Master.

Trump is a very powerful president! Though I'd agree with anyone that he's got his own fair share of human weakness, which is very obvious, but you can never say he doesn't have balls.

Talking about leaving Syria, he taught it was stupid of America to be spending billions of dollars on what rarely concerns them.

The same way he started removing U.S military from Afghanistan after the the U.S had spent close to 2 trillion dollars (Google it) in a war that spanned close to 20 years. Just imagine!

Meanwhile, there's nowhere in America that you can find a kilometer of high speed train but the political class was spending trillions chasing shadows.

If not for the mainstream media that was against him and ready to spin EVERY news about him to mean something else, you'd have understood that HE'S a strong president.

Just imagine if it was Trump that fell on the stairs (three times) while going into the Airforce one, the press would have really dragged him forever on it. But it was Biden so it was just a mistake.

The election in November will start paving way for his comeback. I believe.

SwattiLee what make you think that trump is a powerful leader? Trump was but a putin's puppet.Streingth lies not in making noise and unleashing childish behaviours.Just imagine, the only president in the US history to have lied at least 17 or 21 times daily until he left office, does that make him powerful?

Leaving Syria was a negotiation between trunp and putin behind the scenes which the media would not tell you.He had to come up with excuses that seems legitimate only to please his boss in kremlin.Now tell me, what makes you think he's a powerful person?

Trump's certainly not a racist. The mainstream media only did a perfect job labelling him one.

He did a great job as POTUS making friends with the so called 'enemies' in other to have keep them under.

Russian puppet? Smiles. That sounds like one of those lies from the mainstream media. Just the same way they brought up "Russian collusion".

Besides, we all have to understand and be very careful with ALL news media because they're all pushing an agenda. And guess what? Their agenda doesn't include my interest or yours! That's why I only look for quotes in news medias.

Nairaland politics section is a good example of the massive and grand destruction news medias can do.

The Russian collusion has been debunked severally. Google it and see. The dossier that was given to the FBI to implicate Trump was fabricated by the Dems.

I understand that you may not prefer him but it's important that we always keep an open mind.

Concerning his journey to NK border, it sure yielded fruit. Only that time was not enough for him to accomplish the whole mission which was to get Kim to open up the country so they can prosper.

The problem with Kim was that he was finding it hard to trust America hence the journey by trump to NK border. And it was beginning to yield fruit until the reelection flopped.

It appears you strongly believe in virtually everything the mainstream media have to say but the $400m aid to Ukraine that he withheld may be because to investigate Hunter Biden and that in itself was not contravening any law and even Zelensky said he was not pressured in anyway. But it had nothing to do with Putin.

Concerning Gerorgia, one of the top media, I think WaPo, broke the news that Trump was COMPELLING Georgia secretary of state to overturn the election but retracted their publication when the audio transcript came out and nothing of such was on it.

Trump as POTUS was head and shoulders above Putin. Unfortunately, the news media painted a very different picture simply because he wouldn't conform to their idea of what/who/how a president should be, hence the unrestrained disdain.

The red wave that'll sweep up the Congress come November will pave the way for his second term.

1 - Rocket Man and Trump

The North Korean diplomatic effort by Trump was a huge waste of Time.... It flopped big time.

Rocket Man and his people don't trust Democrats or Republicans. They prefer to die in hunger than to bow to US policy.

So why was your man going there to talk to someone that would not listen ?

He wanted to show strength but failed because he lacked adequate foreign policy experience. (Not because he lacked Time to continue diplomatic efforts)

If his trip was a half success, Joe Biden would have continued from where he left off and seal an agreement with Rocket Man.

2 - Quid Pro Quo

The 400 million dollar aid to Ukraine Scandal was not just targeted at Hunter Biden but on Joe Biden.

Kindly tell yourself the Truth..... Joe Biden was the Ultimate Target.

It was Pressure from Putin about America's military aid to Ukraine that made Trump to crawl back into his shell and started asking for investigation on the Bidens before he would release the aid.

Do you expect President Zelensky to publicly disgrace a sitting US President by saying that there was quid pro quo ?

That would not happen.

But you know your guy is a bad guy....

There was actually quid pro quo. He saw Biden as his biggest threat and wanted to nail him down politically.

3 - Racism

You said your man is not a Racist but when there was international outcry about the death of George Floyd, he could not even visit the family of George Floyd.

When he even called the brother of late Mr George, he didn't even allow him to express his grievances.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/31/george-floyd-brother-philonise-floyd-trump-phone-call

With all the Black Lives Matter protest in the US, what was his reaction ?

He was Non-chalant. He was a divisive figure. He openly displayed the "I don't care attitude" without hiding it.

During his regime (because that is exactly what it was) White Supremacists became more vocal the same way Fulani herdsmen are more vocal in Buhari regime.

I can give you more examples of Trump's Racist behavior but let me pause for now.

Trump and the Republican party as it is Today, has no love and regard for the African American Community in America...... And guess what,

That would be their undoing for many years to come. If the African American Community continue to come out in their numbers to vote for Democrats, No Republican would near the White House for a long time until they change their approach to the Black community.

Hillary Clinton lost her bid for the Presidency because African Americans were not motivated enough to vote..... And Republicans know this fact

That is why Republicans are now trying to suppress minority voters in various States in America

But your man's behavior after his loss in the election is akin to the Authoritarian leader at the Kremlin.

Ok we dey wait for una Red Wave.

I hope you are watching the current news in America.

Supreme Court Justices want to ban Abortion Rights....

Who do you think that would motivate the more in November Mid term elections ?

Democrats of course.

So we are waiting for the Red Wave you and your guys are planning.

There is no way Trump would return to the White House unless Biden loose the African American and minority votes, The Suburban votes,
And make less in road into White non-college voters.

But your guy nor dey shame oo

How can he lose the State of Georgia and expect to be President... Georgia that was a safely Red State.

Even Obama with his Black Political Anointing could not flip Georgia Twice..

What does that tell you ?...... There is a major Shift against your party.

Republicans losing Georgia in the Presidential Elections is a Bad Omen for the Party and if it repeats itself in 2024, then your party would have to re-strategize and Apologize to the African American voters that is dealing with them in Georgia.

Time wouldn't permit me to address every point enumerated above at once.

Even though I disagree with you, I think you did a great job butressing your point.

And yes, it also appears to me that Trump is not your 'type' of person and for that reason, you're calling him 'my guy'. Which is okay.

On racism, except we all want to be hypocritical, I think it's a global thing. You're probably aware of what happened to Nigerians in South Africa some months ago. Funny enough, that's black on black!

I don't know where you're residing at the moment. But I can assure you if you relocate to the United States, you wouldn't want to raise a family anywhere near black neighborhoods. Coz they most times behave like animals!

On Trump being a racist, it's mostly the making of the media in other to drive their agenda. Anything Trump did or didn't do was almost always blown out of proportion by the media and the Dems.

A good example was when he signed an executive order temporarily banning 7 or 8 Moslem countries from entering America the week he was sworn in. Guess what happened? The media and Dems put a label on it! And funny enough, the same countries had previously been banned temporarily a number of times during Obama's 8year reign.

Trump and Rocket Man

American policy (are often either dictatorial or ulterior) has never worked with NK and we should note that Trump is a result oriented man. His ultimate plan for NK was for Kim to jettison their weapons and in turn get American investment.

If you were heading a company and I'm also heading another, do you think we'd have problem collaborating if we're good friends? Unfortunately, it was the time their friendship started budding that Trump left the scene (to come back tho)

** My personal thought here: everything is evolving and time's changing but the unchanging ways somethings are being done is questionable!

Trump might have instigated Zelensky to probe the Bidens. Even if he did, he surely didn't contravene any law talkless of using that as an impeachable offence. Come to think of it, the Bidens' dealings was kinda dirty hence the probe.

That Putin made him witheld the grant is the media's making. I don't know if you noticed that under Trump administration, the United States cut down on their foreign aids greatly. He always believe that nothing should be done absolutely free and I wouldn't blame him, because of his business background.

Two examples are Paris climate Accord and Iran. The major reason he pulled out of the two was the huge financial burden that the United States government singlehandedly shouldered and yet America is trillions of dollars in debt. But the Dems and the media wouldn't tell us all this. One thing is certain, the model America is using presently is dangerous and not sustainable. If she goes on donating money that way to every country, she would soon implode. And why I so much love his AMERICA FIRST mantra.



On him being an authoritarian.

Not really but he's got his own fair share of human weakness. He's someone that has the characteristics of a King and a very shrewd man. See, we need to really understand people (like them or not) to a certain extent to understand their actions. Or else we would allow bias, prejudices and emotions becloud our judgement.

The reason he's still adamant the the last general election was manipulated is simple. If I were your opponent, and for four good years I instigated agendas just to malign your person and and disparage your office and even went ahead to sponsor a fake dossier and use it against you till the end of your tenure just to make people believe that the election that got you elected was fraudulent, you would be very unsuspecting to still believe anything good will come from me.

It's important we put ourselves in other people's shoes sometimes. It's the easiest thing to criticize. Trump's certainly not a perfect person. But the Dems, I simply can't find the best adjective for them...


November election.

Smiles. Either the Senate or the House is going Red.

But barring unforeseen circumstances, the Congress (both) is going Red.

The overturning of Roe Vs. Wade would almost certainly favour the GOP.

Americans in general (Dems, GOP and Independents) are not happy with how Biden is running the country. It's widely believed that he's weak and incompetent.

Leaving Syria was a negotiation between trunp and putin behind the scenes which the media would not tell you.He had to come up with excuses that seems legitimate only to please his boss in kremlin.Now tell me, what makes you think he's a powerful person?

Sir, going through your post, it became crystal clear where you've been getting your news from. It applies to everyone of us anyway so you're not an exception. We often echo what we've been told.

But we must know first and foremost that news media are primarily a business organization i.e they're in it for profit. And if that's the case, they wouldn't mind to do a little mind bending in other to fill up their pockets.

Secondly, they're well aware how powerful information dissemination is, and that's why they use it to their advantage and push their agenda.

Does that mean we should absolutely ignore them? Absolutely not. What I often do is to get the real information of what the main actors said or didn't say. Did or didn't do.

From there, I form my opinion by myself instead of depending on some agenda pushing news media organization that doesn't have anyone's interest at heart except theirs.

And yes, I've certainly not been totally accurate but I've done an incredible job analyzing events because I've got a mind smart enough that can easily read between the lines.

Having said all that, Trump is NOT Putin's puppet. He was the one actually bossing Putin. But the media decided to push their agenda!

Or do you think it was mere coincidence that most of the mainstream media's ratings plummeted after Trump left office??

Smiles. Think about that.

2. The same reason Trump left Syria was the same reason he left Afghanistan; American was wasting money for absolutely no reason!

I'm sure the media never mentioned that American wasted close to TWO TRILLION DOLLARS on almost 20 years war in Afghanistan. Google it. Yet, American infrastructure is on a great decline. China, Japan and even Russia are ahead of them when it comes to infrastructure.

Once again, media organizations doesn't have your interest or mine at heart. The more they blow their news (product) out of proportion, the more line up their pockets.

But barring unforeseen circumstances, the Congress (both) is going Red.

The overturning of Roe Vs. Wade would almost certainly favour the GOP.

Americans in general (Dems, GOP and Independents) are not happy with how Biden is running the country. It's widely believed that he's weak and incompetent.

1 - America First that was making the nation Second.

Ok I agree with the American First Mantra.

And I also believe that a Father Christmas approach by the US to other countries is unsustainable.

But Trump as current president would have been a disaster for the NATO Alliance. He was planning to withdraw from the alliance and cut ties with South Korea.

Even if European partners were not paying their fair share, there are other diplomatic channels to make them live up to expectation rather than threatening to withdraw from a scared alliance like NATO against the wish of the American people.

Maybe that is what his Puppet master in Kremlin instructed him to do.

Putin would have been very Happy if he had won re-election and pulled the plug on NATO.

America would be worse of, if he had carried out his plans and abandoned international allies.

During his time in office, America's sphere of influence and leadership role was dwindling because he was cutting ties or planning to cut ties that were sacrosanct to America's God Given position as World No 1 and Leader.

Trump would have find it difficult to rally together NATO Allies to support Ukraine the same way Biden have done because there was disunity and distrust between the US and her allies.

European countries found no leadership in the US and it made them to take their destiny into their hands.

Trump was tough and outspoken against allies but was very soft on Putin.

2 - Authoritarian Trump

Like you rightly said, Trump saw himself as the king of America that must stay on his throne.

And one bad thing with monarchy is the temptation to become Authoritarian....... Trump fell for that temptation

Only Authoritarian leaders tell their supporters to storm the hallowed Chambers of the Congress and cause chaos.

Only Authoritarian leaders would ask his VP or other high ranking officials to overturn an election when he know that it is wrong and they don't have the power to legally do it.

Only Authoritarian leaders like Trump would in a democratic nation violently disperse protesters in front of the white house and walk down across the road for a photo-op in front of a church with a Bible in his hand.

Trump was always praising his fellow Authoritarian leaders and the sweet words he said about Putin would be used against him in 2024

3 - November Mid term elections :

We are waiting for you guys.

We are ready for the Red Wave.

But American voters understand that the current economic development is not an isolated incident in the US but it is global.

Inflation is going up globally.

Interest rate is being increased by almost all major central bank.

Putin's Price Hikes at the fuel pump is a global phenomenon not only in America.

All Democrats need to do is to motivate their troops and undecided voters to come out and vote.

That is exactly what the ban on Abortion Rights would do for Democrats.

The Supreme Court is largely Republican leaning and Democrats feel shortchanged. The actions of the Court if confirmed would motivate Democrats and undecided voters who believe in Abortion Rights to make their voice heard through the ballot box.

Nonetheless let's wait until November because there is still time for a single event to turn the political tide.
