Former President Donald Trump on Saturday repeated his praise of several authoritarian leaders, calling Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un "smart." During a rally in Commerce, Georgia, Trump referred to those authoritarian leaders as strong, saying "the smartest one gets to the top." Trump said China's Xi was smart because he "runs 1.5 billion people with an iron fist," while he called North Korea's Kim "tough." Both Xi and Kim have been widely condemned by the international community for human rights abuses. Trump also repeated some praise for Putin, while distancing himself from previous remarks that seemed more fully supportive of the Russian leader. "They asked me if Putin is smart. Yes, Putin was smart," Trump told a crowd of rally-goers. After acknowledging that Putin had made a "big mistake" in attacking another country and its people, Trump said the Russian leader's massive buildup on the border ahead of the invasion appeared to be a "great negotiation." "That's a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 troops on the border," Trump said. "That was a big mistake, but it looked like a great negotiation. That didn't work out too well for him." Trump previously called Putin "very savvy" after the Russian president declared he would recognize two separatist regions in eastern Ukraine as independent days before invading, which drew criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. Trump later attempted to walk those comments back and has condemned the invasion. During Saturday's rally, Trump also suggested President Biden was weak in comparison to the authoritarian leaders, and said the president "should recuse himself from anything having to do with Ukraine" because of his son's business dealings in the country, which became the subject of GOP attacks during the 2020 presidential campaign. https://thehill.com/policy/international/599899-trump-says-putin-smart-but-made-a-big-mistake |

Trump said that the Russian President should hold rallies across the country to tell his supporters that he won but that his victory had been stolen from him. “I thought Putin was smart, but maybe he’s not so smart after all,” Trump said. “If he doesn’t say he won, he’s some kind of stupid dummy.” https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/trump-suggests-putin-just-claim-he-won 3 Likes

If Russian invasion of Ukraine was a mistake despite Russia winning the battlefield with some casualties how would one describe the civil war between Nigeria and Biafra, this is like a monumental misfortune, today Nigeria cannot refine crude oil something Biafra was doing with ease, the Nigerian currency is now the worst performing in the world , there is outbreak of militancy and insurgency all over Nigeria's North with Nigeria recording higher casualties than Ukraine that is being invaded. Lots of business in Nigeria cannot source for Forex for their business, diesel for their power, electricity for operations, new market for their very expensive goods etc The west will be hypocritical fighting Russia over Ukrainian invasion but keeping mute over the occupocracy happening in Africa |

joyandfaith:He has seen the hand writing on the wall, invading Ukraine was always going to be a big mistake everyone saw this except for Putin and his minions, Russia will be treated like Nazi Germany after this war. Putin failed to listen to people that matter and ended up putting Europe on high alert just like Hitler, Russia will never be forgiven at least for the next one or two decades, Europe will reduce their dependence on Russian goods and rearm. 2 Likes |
