Trump talking to Putin before the NATO summit produced exactly what you’d expect. He openly whined about SECDEF Hegseth’s battlefield photos, claiming 'it doesn't affect the United States' and 'doesn't help the look.' Putin is feeding this garbage straight into his tiny brain. He's a total asset.🤦🏾♂️
"Why do you think that — what conditions have changed? Did Putin seem — With what? Russia, Ukraine. Did Putin seem open to any concessions that he had to make? Never changed. I just don't want him killing people. You know, it doesn't affect the United States. When Biden was here, he gave them hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of equipment. Now I sell the equipment for, you know, fair price — the full price. And I sell it not to Ukraine, I sell it to the European Union. They pay us. But with me, it's not anything to do other than I'd like to save lives. You have 25, 35, 30 — one time it hit 41,000 a month — souls. They're dead. They leave their mother in Ukraine. They leave their mother and father in Russia, Ukraine. They wave goodbye. And a week later, they're dead. It's crazy. I would like to see — it doesn't affect us. It's really — you know, it's far away. It affects Europe much more. We're there to help Europe. But it doesn't affect the United States. We have an ocean in between. But you know, it's just — I can't stand watching what's happening. I've seen the pictures of those battlefields. And it's a drone war. It's a war of drones. It's a whole new technology. And we're actually the leader in drones now. We have the most sophisticated drones. But people wouldn't believe how violent it is. And I've seen the battlefields. They send me pictures. I actually want to say, don't send them to me. Pete — this man right here sends me pictures. Pete Hegseth. And I said, Pete, you know what? It doesn't help to look. I've never seen anything like it. It's carnage. And it should stop."
