Pretty damn cool. Now we know why Putin didn't invade the Ukraine
when #45 was in office. #45 told him he was going to bomb Moscow if he
did. Well, this is clearly a different policy than President Potato
Head. The only problem is that I don't think many Americans want to go
to war with Russia over the Ukraine.

"Trump Claims He Once Warned 'Friend' Putin That He'd Bomb Moscow

Still, "you know, he was a friend of mine,” Trump preened. “I got along great with him," he said on speaker phone to golf pro pal John Daly."

"Former President Donald Trump was recorded on speaker phone claiming to
pal and golf pro John Daly that he once warned Russia President Vladimir
Putin that he’d bomb Moscow if Putin invaded Ukraine.

It was a startling statement, given that Trump just recently praised
Putin as a “genius” for invading Ukraine, where the Russian military is attacking a sovereign nation and dropping bombs on civilians.

“They’re all saying, ’Oh, he’s a nuclear power. It’s like they’re afraid
of him.,” Trump told Daly, referring to Putin, in the call posted on Instagram Friday.

“You know, he was a friend of mine,” Trump preened. “I got along great with him. ”

But Trump insisted on the call that he also played tough with his buddy.
If Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump claimed he warned him: “We’re gonna hit Moscow.” And “he sort of believed me, like 5%, 10%,” Trump added. “That’s all you need. He never did it during my time, John, you know ...
He didn’t do this during the last four years because he knew he couldn’t,” Trump added."

"But Trump just praised Putin’s invasion days ago. And John Bolton,
Trump’s former national security adviser, has accused Trump of setting
the stage for Putin’s invasion by constantly criticizing Ukraine and
delaying arms shipments to the nation — and lavishing praise on Putin.

Trump “did not” take a tough stance on Putin, Bolton said earlier this
week on Newsmax."

"Trump also risked NATO’s survival as a foil to Russian aggression by constantly attacking the Western alliance. Putin expected Trump would
pull the U.S. out of NATO if he was elected to a second term, leaving
the way clear for the Russian military, Bolton told The Washington Post
in a virtual chat on Friday."
