The article reflects on former President Donald Trump's controversial comments regarding Ukraine's conflicts, reminiscent of his 2018 Helsinki summit with Putin. During a recent press conference, Trump claimed that Ukraine was to blame for its invasion by Russia, neglecting key facts and realities of the war. Such assertions drew immediate criticism from figures like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The piece highlights the persistent disengagement from accepted intelligence and consequences of Trump’s rhetoric on international relations, particularly echoing previous alarming statements during his presidency.
I watched the scene sitting outside in the glaring Finnish summer sun on a CNN set, with Anderson Cooper, who, after a short, stunned silence, concluded, 'You have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American President.'
To hear Trump tell it, Ukraine might as well be bombing its own cities and killing its own citizens. He claimed that the United States had spent three hundred and fifty billion dollars helping Ukraine.
