The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline 1hTrump: "Russia is a powerful military nation whether people like it or not. It's a much bigger nation. It's not a war that should have been started, you don't do that. You don't take on a nation that's 10x your size."

Trump blames Ukraine for taking on nation 10 times your size despite Russia being the one that invaded
FOX News Co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump whether any land swaps between the warring countries were discussed at Mondays meeting, to which the president responded by saying that Ukraine would get a lot of land, before he launched into a ramble about Russias military might.
Russia is a powerful military nation. You know, whether people like it or not, it's a powerful nation. It's a much bigger nation, Trump said. It's not a war that should have been started. You don't do that. You don't take on a nation that's 10 times your size.
If it wasn't for the greatest military equipment, we make the greatest military equipment in the world. And we gave them, you know whatever they took probably a lot of money too, Trump added.
