"The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all," Trump said.

Correction: Putin invaded Ukraine because he believed Trump had weakened NATO, split the allies, and divided America.

Trump if re-elected would have withdrawn the USA from NATO, as he had threatened.
Trump had arms for Ukraine removed from the Republican Party platform as a candidate, Congress had to make arms for Ukraine veto proof and add provisions to prevent the Trump administration from holding up the aid.

he threatened to get those European countries to commit more...seems like he was right about a lot...
NOV 2018 MILITARY TIMES
President Donald Trump on Monday unloaded on the U.S.’s European allies, and appeared to threaten to pull out of NATO, French President Emmanuel Macron openly rebuked Trump’s political philosophy in a speech the day before.
The U.S. by far spends the most in NATO, both on its own defense budget and on programs to increase the readiness and capabilities of its European allies.
In 2014, NATO countries agreed to raise their defense spending to 2 percent of gross domestic product by 2024. So far, only five countries — mainly in eastern and central Europe where the threat of Russia looms large — have met that pledge.
Since his campaign days, Trump has demanded NATO countries meet that 2 percent figure, or even double it, immediately.
Germany, Europe's biggest economy, has expressed little interest in hitting that benchmark.
Greece is one of the few NATO countries that meet the 2percent spending mark, but it spends much of that on pensions. |

Trump nor Biden are responsible for Putin's Invasion Putin is solely Responsible
yet Feel free to Ignore the rest of Trump Actions with NATO and Ukraine and the removal of 12k troops from Germany ...
Trump is Playing you if you think his intentions were to get NATO to Pay More Just like he is still claiming the election was Rigged .. Keep supporting Trump who is more like Putin than your willing to Admit and His past action Show how he's on the Same page as Putin when is comes NATO and Ukraine joining NATO
Cheney Rips Trump, Pompeo for 'Praising' Russian President: 'Putin Is Evil'
Funny I've been pointing these people Siding with Putin showering him with praise offering no condemnation out since this started
and the response from the TRUMP fan club was "who" and now you are attempting to spin Trump's current Action with nonsense from 2018 |

I didn't see you show that any one person was siding with Putin.
Saying he's cunning and formidable and smart, isn't nearly the same as saying "I hope he wins in Ukraine". |
