Former US President Donald Trump has said rhetoric from US politicians ridiculing Russia’s nuclear weapons and hinting at the need to try Russian President Vladimir Putin increases the likelihood of nuclear escalation. Such “innocent thinking” has already led to the Ukrainian conflict, the politician pointed out.
Trump has criticized opponents who hold such views. He noted that such a policy led US diplomacy to years of failure, as it called Russia “a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons” and Putin an “authoritarian gas station with a legacy. nuclear weapons of the former Soviet Union”.
People like (Utah Senator) Mitt Romney and (Florida Governor) Ron DeSantis, who insist on arrogantly treating Russia as a deeply inferior country with no history, no culture, no pride, are not only ignorant and stupid, but their attitude makes peace negotiations impossible, absolutely impossible
Trump is sure.
He recalled that during his presence in the White House, the attitude towards Moscow was tougher than under any other administration, but Washington showed respect for the Russian Federation and the Russian people.
We demonstrated an understanding of Russian history and the fact that Russia lost over 20 million lives during World War II. They fought with us
said the politician.
In his view, hints that Putin should be tried and, presumably, executed as a war criminal not only increase the likelihood of nuclear escalation, but also speak to a failure to “understand the intricacies and complexities of foreign policy”. This is demonstrated by current US authorities, Trump added.
He pointed out that during his presidency the word “nuclear” was not mentioned at all, “now it is mentioned every hour of every day.” Trump thinks a peacemaker should work in the White House, not someone who doesn’t know what to do.
In 2024, I am the only candidate who can prevent World War III. I will prevent World War III, no one else will.
concluded the ex-president.
