A president too dememtia-ridden to understand the basic concept of defense needs to resign.

Trump: "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 Monday’s meeting, to which the president responded by saying that Ukraine would “get a lot of land,” before he launched into a ramble about Russia’s 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.

I guess that whole thing was a mistake. Sometimes I do wonder.

Instead of taking it. He's a moron. So many people can talk rings around him, but don't. Harris in her debate pants the old fool. It isn't hard.
