Donald Trump has blamed Volodymyr Zelensky for starting the war with Russia – a day after a massive Russian attack killed 35 people and injured 117 others in Ukraine.

The US president said the Ukrainian leader shared the blame with Russian President Vladimir Putin for "millions of people dead" in the Ukraine war.

"You don't start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles," he told reporters at the White House, also blaming former US President Joe Biden for the conflict.​

Here's the video of the full meeting. The section on Russia starts at 11:48. The question where he says Zelensky started it starts at 14:04:

One could take a charitable interpretation of this and chalk it up to poor phrasing, considering that he earlier stated that Putin started it. But throughout his comments, he clearly puts at least an equal share of the blame on Zelensky, saying things like "everybody's to blame" and criticizing the competence of Biden and Zelensky.

It's clearly Ukraines fault for building cities on a Russian missile range.

You have to be one corrupt, inept, Jewish Dictator to do that kind of nonsense. It's almost like what a comedian would do.

Putin / Trump 2028
A partnership for peace!

Wonder whether he'd say the same thing about Netanyahu. True, he didn't initiate the 10/7 attack, but his response--50,000 Palestinians dead, Gaza reduced to rubble, millions starving and homeless---led the International Court at the Hague to indict him as a war criminal.
But I suppose 47 always favors the dictators over the valiant freedom fighters.

Bibi was elected by a landslide majority so can't be a dictator.

I sincerely hope that ain't equating the IDF, The Israeli government to the dictator Putin. And if you honestly believe that HAMAS are freedom fighters, then your beliefs stand in stark contrast to what real freedom fighters actually are.

There are 30,000 Hamas. Gaza is 50% under 18 (i.e. 1.8 Million children in a population of 3.6 million.
1.8 million children homeless, starving, wounded--some fatally.
How culpably incompetent is is a military that destroys the lives of 1.8 million children to capture 30,000 culpable terrorists? In case you don't know, that's 600 child victims to kill every One terrorist.

600 future terrorists killed per Hamas member? The Administration would be stupid not to take that deal.

Oh boy , here we go again.

Fox News will air that clip repeatedly and report that President Trump has experienced cognitive decline.





Wait .. I am sorry .. I thought I am in 2023 and Joe Biden was President.



Never Mind.

I am glad that you appear to admit that Hamas are NOT freedom fighters. Also, it is truly deplorable that all those children lives have been "destroyed." But, in order to utterly defeat Hamas after more than a decade of rocket and missiles fired by Hamas which then led to the October 7th massacres, the IDF had NO choice but to engage in urban warfare against an army of savage terrorists embedded into the Gazan population.


The Russian vs Ukraine conflict comes from a long, complicated history. The Russians military & Putin are indeed absolutely responsible for invading Ukraine. However, Zelensky & his government probably should have more honestly and urgently came to a peaceful and negotiated resolution with the government of Russia before the unlawful invasion, under the orders of the evil & wicked President Putin, into Ukraine. The deaths and destruction of lives hundreds of thousands of human lives in both Ukraine and Russia is, I truly believe, very sad and deplorable.

Trump is a toxic antithesis of our American democracy and values. It will not be long before many more recognize this fact.

Nope! Trump retook the test last weekend and again was able to tell the difference between a penguin and a beach ball.
