Former President Donald Trump slammed his former comrade Vladimir Putin for the growing death toll in Ukraine - calling it a 'massive crime against humanity' - and blasted NATO for its lack of action during a GOP donor event Saturday.
Trump spoke to Republican National Committee donors in Louisiana during the Spring Retreat in New Orleans, where he covered a wide variety of topics, including the escalating crisis in Ukraine.
Trump also went after NATO, calling it a 'paper tiger' and said the US cannot just stand by while Ukraine is invaded, according to Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey, who obtained a recording of Trump's remarks.
Trump's comments come as Putin's forces have besieged Ukraine and sparked fears that NATO would be drawn into the fighting. Ukraine President Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelenzky has repeatedly begged NATO to enforce a no-fly zone over his country to help thwart Russian air superiority.
However, the US and its allies have resisted, fearing it could put NATO forces in direct conflict with Russia.
During his presidency, Trump had reportedly said multiple times that he wanted to pull the United States out of NATO, a move that aides scrambled to counter.
Speaking of the situation in Ukraine, Trump told donors that the US should put Chinese flags on America's F-22s and then 'bomb the s***' out of Russia, leading to conflict between the nations while 'we sit back and watch.'
He also shared his thoughts on North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un, saying that 'he's absolutely the leader of that country,' and expressed he was impressed at how Jong Un's advisers were 'sitting at attention' when he talked and 'cowered' when he spoke to them.
Trump said one general stood up so fast when spoken to and joked:' 'I want my people to act like

Do you know what a false dilemma is?
Well, frankly I would go myself.
With kids and grandkids!
The evil has to be stopped ASAP. It cannot be appeased and hoped it will go away!
“Why are we afraid of Russians?
They are paper tigers!”
Then the Ukrainians won’t have any trouble beating them without the U.S. getting involved.
Well, frankly I would go myself.
With kids and grandkids!
The evil has to be stopped ASAP. It cannot be appeased and hoped it will go away!
Well, then, go! You don’t even have to have a passport. Just go online, and see they’re accepting volunteers.
Because they have nukes.
________
Good argument for every evil empire to acquire a lot of nukes.
Then, they can apparently do whatever they want, nobody will ever stop them?!
This is from the DM.
Trust but verify.
Especially the Trump quotes.
Please explain to me how the average American is going to benefit from this deep state war?
They aren’t. Americans have this deadly, virus called “Altruism”. Give all. give all, give all, and get and expect nothing in return.
You are correct. I could name a few even from 2014. But, I won’t. They will self-identify.
The laughable part is most of the Putin Fan Club won’t admit it, but will will bend over backwards to justify the actions of their man in Moscow.
Yeah, pansies with nuclear missiles.
Russia has 1,458 warheads on 527 intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched missiles and bombers.
The US has 1,389 warheads on 665 intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched missiles and bombers.
Apparently they are doing pretty well.
Your guys are getting their asses kicked!
But by what cost!
They deserve help!
Count me out, President Trump.
Putin is mentally unstable, and he has control of hundreds of nuclear weapons aimed at the USA.
I am not ready to sacrifice my own life or my entire country to protect Ukraine.
We may have to make decisions about nuclear war in the near future - but not today.
Let the Ukraine situation unfold naturally and see where it takes us before we risk the lives of millions of Americans and our own economic annihilation.
Here’s just one of the sites.

I don’t think your grandkids would appreciate you saying they would die for another lousy, war that could have been prevented.
You’ve lived your life, and what are Ukranians going to do for them when they are in trouble considering the way the U.S. is and going?
The way the are acting, I would not be surprised if most of them were useless. Rusted through. Shorted fuses,...
So have you persuaded your grandkids to sign up for the military, in the Infantry or Special Forces? You can do the volunteer thing.
“Apparently they are doing pretty well.
Your guys are getting their asses kicked!
But by what cost!
They deserve help!”
My guys are Americans. The only country I give a crap about is my own, which is circling the drain, in case you missed it.
Head on over to help your guys if you care so much. Take the kids and grandkids with you.
From my perspective, the US has done enough fighting in various shitholes over the past 20 years. And sorry, Ukraine is a corrupt shithole with a president in the pocket of a POS oligarch (Kolomoisky).
Not interested in any more American blood and treasure wasted on shitholes.
Seems like your guys are Shoigu and Gerasimov.

How about if they ask for Poland? Surely our lives are worth Poland. How about the EU? Surely our lives are worth the EU. How about if they said the US president and all American officials should be appointed by the Russian leader? Surely our lives are worth a few meaningless government posts.
You’ve completely missed the point of our nuclear force. It’s to deter the other side from using nukes. If he does, he not only incinerates himself and his entire country - he wipes out his place in history. And that’s the one thing national leaders crave the most, and the one thing Alexander and Julius Caesar pursued and achieved successfully to the exclusion of most other things. Can’t be a significant person in your country’s history if there’s no country left.
