Trump: Biden provoked Russia/Kiev joining NATO is ruled out.
According to Rashatoudi, Donald Trump, the former president and candidate for the 2024 presidential election of the United States, said that the inflammatory statements and rhetoric of the current president and his electoral rival, Joe Biden, about Ukraine’s joining NATO, is the main reason for Russia’s military intervention in this country and the start of It has been a war.
Trump, who will most likely clash with Biden again in the November elections, said in a podcast: “For 20 years, I have heard that Ukraine joining NATO is a serious problem for Russia.” I heard this a long time ago and I think this was the reason for the start of this war.
He claimed that there was no talk of an armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine during his presidency, but as soon as Biden entered the White House, the situation became dire.
The former American president added: “You see, Vladimir Putin (President of Russia) is a good negotiator and I thought that he might do this for negotiation purposes, but suddenly they attacked and I said to myself, what happened?! All of Biden’s words were wrong, and one of these false words was that Ukraine will join NATO!
The host of this podcast recalled that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told Moscow in January 2022 that Ukraine was joining NATO and that Washington thought there was no problem with the deployment of nuclear weapons in the country, and as a result, “it was no surprise that the Russians would freak out.” “
Referring to the possible membership of Kyiv in NATO, Trump replied: Put yourself in the place of (the Russian authorities); You certainly wouldn’t be very happy. It was always clear to everyone that this would never happen. The idea of ​​Ukraine joining NATO was very provocative and is even more provocative today. I constantly hear people talking about Ukraine joining NATO and recently I heard that France wants to intervene and go to war. Well, I wish them success from the bottom of my heart!
Putin has clearly emphasized that Western statements about Ukraine’s possible accession to NATO are a security threat to Russia and Moscow will not ignore it.
