Unless you were watching NBC’s Meet The Press, this Sunday, you probably missed the crazy new narrative the nets are feeling gullible liberals. New York Times Pentagon correspondent Helene Cooper told host Chuck Todd that if Trump was still president, Putin would have invaded Ukraine…
Um… What exactly does she think is happening in Ukraine right now? Remodeling?
“I would love to just game out where we would be right now if Donald Trump was still President and Vladimir Putin had invaded Ukraine,” Cooper began.
Adding, “First of all, Trump would already have pulled us out of NATO because that’s what he wanted to do. He already started pulling American troops out of Europe. The Pentagon kind of stalled out until Biden came into office.”
“The first thing he would have said is, it’s not our problem, Ukraine is not our problem, that’s it, go off and do — this is not our business, and NATO, at this point, would have been completely divided,” she claimed. Adding, “you would see disunity, you would see other NATO countries peeling off, what are we gonna do? The alliance would be broken.”
Cooper continued, “Let’s make sure when Trump is saying this stuff about how much differently — if Donald Trump was President right now would be in a completely different place,” she concluded. Which is probably the only thing she got right during her entire tiraid. We wouldn’t be in this position because Russia wouldn’t have dared to invade in the first place.”
Trump was arming Ukraine before he left office because the threat was obvious, then. He also warned European countries that the threat was there and that they needed to start building up their military.
Putin’s intention to invade Ukraine has been there for years, and I find it ridiculous at this point that anyone is shocked that Russia invaded. If anything, his timing is noteworthy. Putin didn’t invade all 4 years that Trump was in office.
Putin’s own speechwriter from the Kremlin eluded that plans began in 2021. We also had a surge of Russian immigrants that same year, with border patrol reporting the capture of some 4,100 Russian immigrants trying to cross the southern borders illegally that same year—coincidence?
