Washington – Donald Trump is trying to explain comments that suggested he wasn’t aware that Russian troops were in Ukraine.

In an interview on ABC Sunday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not going into Ukraine.” He added “You can mark it down. You can put it down.”
Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and has backed pro-Russian separatists in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Western governments accuse Russia of sending troops and weapons to Ukraine, but Moscow denies that.
Trump tweeted Monday that Putin is not going into Ukraine “if I am president. Already in Crimea!”
In another tweet, he said that “with all of the Obama tough talk on Russia and the Ukraine, they have already taken Crimea and continue to push. That’s what I said!”
Like Duh? Only the lying media will make u any story to spin Trump’s comments to make him look stupid. The man has spoken about crimea in the past. How in the world can you think he meant Oh Russia is not in Ukraine. Come one even the anti trumpoits can get him on this. And if they do they are just plan pathetic liars.
TRump is Putin/s lap dog.
Trump makes ignorant George W Bush looks like a Rhodes scholar. His love of tyrant Putin is revolting, showing his demagogue fascist tendencies which are totally un-American. Every day since Cleveland, Trump has said something idiotic and his poll numbers are going down.
I used to be very pro-Trump since I can’t stand that crooked Hillbilly. Now, I think Trump has gone off the deep end and could be very dangerous if he gets elected. I just can’t believe that out of 300 million people, we end up with these 2 losers who are the absolute worse candidates for President since forever.
? Anybody remember who our WWII ally Stalin-the-mass-murderer was?
Stalin starved Ukrainians to death
and “invented” Russian concentration camps years before Hitler’s evil.
Twenty million Russians died HELPING to win WWII.
The Russians have a tough military that appears to be willing and enabled
to fight to win a defensive war against a vicious enemy that is targeting our civilians
and everybody’s civilians ALL over the globe – in our face.
? And we’re dithering around worrying about Putin’s “values”?
