Trump, who was impeached for withholding nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine

This is the thing about having a multi-billion dollar right wing media propaganda operation. Republicans can water down their platform condemning Russia's early invasion of Ukraine, withhold millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine unless Ukraine cooperates with them politically, and Trump can play around with the idea of withdrawing from NATO, yet right wing media will argue that Democrats are the ones trying to appease Russia.

Former US President Donald Trump, who was impeached for withholding nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine, said the country's current crisis "would never have happened" if he were still in office.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine early Thursday, with Russian troops swarming into the country from its northern, eastern, and southern borders. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Thursday-evening address that 137 Ukrainians had died and 306 had been wounded as a result of the invasion.

Trump released a statement Thursday, saying, "If I were in Office, this deadly Ukraine situation would never have happened!"

Trump earlier this week praised Putin's justification for invading Ukraine as "genius" and "savvy."

That's the take-away here. There would probably be no more NATO after that. Ukraine would have been a goner on Day One. Whatever Chump says now is meaningless.
