Putin: ‘I can confirm’ Ukraine war would have never started if Trump was president

Putin spoke first at the press conference with Trump in Alaska and said the meeting between Russia and the United States was long overdue. As the war in Ukraine has raged on, Trump has consistently maintained that the conflict would have never started if he were President. "I can confirm that," Putin said.

That’s true. Trump would have played some critical roles to avert it. Even if it means dancing to the tunes of Putin.

Wahala! Putin just press rewind on the Ukraine war saga and hand Trump the remote! 📺💣
At a press conference in Alaska (of all places), baba Putin look straight into camera and talk say — “Yes o, if na Trump dey White House, all this Ukraine gbege no go happen.”

Trump wey don dey shout this matter like town crier finally get international “I concur!” from Russia’s No. 1 flex master. Whether na sincere alliance or political chess move, one thing clear: Putin just use style endorse Trump as the "war whisperer" — the one wey fit dey room and war go fear show face. 😅

But let’s be real — geopolitical praise from Putin na double-edged sword. To some, e be like compliment; to others, na red flag wey dey wave with Russian accent. 🇷🇺🚩

As dem dey talk for Nigeria:
“If two goats dey play for road, check well — na market dey burn somewhere.”

This “confirmation” from Putin na more than gist — e go scatter table for international politics. 🍿🌍

No, it would start.

The president of America is just a figurehead, the real people that controls the US are hidden in the background moving the dice. Some people call them neocons, some call them the golden billions, some call them the globalist, Illuminati's and so forth.

Trump has never been soft on Russia. It was Trump that exited the INF treaty, and during his first term, slapped many sanctions on Russia, and still slapping or at least not reversing any sanctions on Russia from him or past US presidents.

Putin is a seasoned politicians, he is just betting on hope, and showing that he sees the good in Trump, but he is not fooled.

Read Causalties by Prof. J.P.Clark.

You would understand better. War is just business on other people's blood. Those the world consider the 'useful idiots'.

No one truly wins. Everyone loses. Except the script writers and the bankers. When you read that poem, you will understand better.

The sooner Ego drops and the war ends, the better. Those useful idiots are humans too. They didn't start the war but they usually pay the Supreme Price at each turn of global events. Why?

I shall never know. But Trump understand this perfectly well. Hence, he is ending that blood sucking activities. Next should be Gaza. But Oga fit nor near that side.

This Alaska meeting is an opportunity for putin to seek soft landing after losing over 200k soldiers while Ukraine lost 60k

He will soon look for another thing to blame for his disastrous mistake of invading Ukraine.

Putin came to this summit looking esperance to end the war he started cheesy

What do you expect Putin to say? Say bad things against someone that talked down on Zelensky and calling Ukraine the aggressor?

Please, this is no news.

Putin keep massaging trump ego wink

The war in Ukraine started since 2014. Even when trump was president from 2017-2020, he was still funding Ukraine military with weapons to fighting Russia backed separatist in eastern Ukraine.

But trump didn't tell Ukraine that they will join NATO. Is was Biden that want Ukraine to be in NATO alliance and that is what trigger Russia to invade Ukraine.
Re: Putin: ‘I Can Confirm’ Ukraine War Would've Never Started If Trump Was President by fineboynl(m):
Outside of trump not wanting to spend money in that war. Putin himself want the war to end. The war was a mistake Putin regretted.

Any more further delay will cause many problem for Russia and Ukraine.

Since Trump is not interested in the war it has weakened Europe supports already and Ukraine itself. Which made Russia to gain some advance.

This war cause global meltdown and inflation. The European citizen never supported the war in the first place it was a miscalculation to weakened Russia influence over interfering against US, Europe decision in other countries.

Politicians make statements that quickly win people over, skillfully manipulating emotions due to their positions of power. Trust them at your own risk.

Let's use Ukraine for example:

It affect some of our people schooling in the country.

It affect some of our people working/doing business in the country.
