TRUMP Calls Putin a Genius & Savvy After Invasion of Ukraine
TRUMP Praises Putin’s "Genius" and "Savvy" as Ukraine Crisis Worsens
Chris Christie suggests Trump doesn't understand the world after he called Putin a 'genius' for invading Ukraine Christie questioned why anyone would call Vladimir Putin a "genius" after Russia invaded Ukraine. Donald Trump has repeatedly praised Putin in recent days. Christie said someone who makes such a remark doesn't have any "understanding of the world." AP 28 FEB 2022 https://cdn.extra.ie/wp-content/uplo...e-1068x623.jpg https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/SR...f69b37f3157b75 https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/FrIAA...Gn/s-l1600.jpg https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/8X...234f25ab0c9c07 Chris Christie suggests Trump doesn't understand the world after he called Putin a 'genius' for invading Ukraine Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie implicitly jabbed Donald Trump on Monday, criticizing people who have praised Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategy for invading Ukraine, something the former president did both before and after Russia went to war with its neighbor. "How can anyone with any understanding of the world call Putin's decision to invade Ukraine 'genius' and 'very savvy' as we watch him unite the rest of the world against Russia in nearly an instant?" Christie tweeted. Trump has repeatedly praised what he views as Putin's shrewd thinking in sparking the worst war involving a major power in Europe since WWII. Christie did not mention Trump directly in his message, but it's abundantly clear that he's addressing his former political ally. Trump told a conservative podcast host earlier this month that he admired Putin's brazen strategy. "I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said when asked about Putin's justification for what Western nations have deemed as an unprovoked war. "I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper." The former president has also argued that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he was still in power, a message that often stretches the truth and ignores how Trump himself was impeached over a scheme to threaten Ukraine's defense assistance unless officials probed President Joe Biden's son Hunter. Christie also took issue with the implication that Putin's strategy has been successful. Russia's economy and the value of its currency have tanked as the US, European Union, and other allies levy historically devastating sanctions. It also appears that Russia was not prepared for the extent of the Ukrainian resolve in the face of the attacks on their homeland. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S259188163.jpg Russia Ukraine WAR: Blood-Soaked Mum Clutches Child's Scarf as Medics Fail to Save Her https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S259158575.jpg Polina was a 4th grader from Kyiv tragically killed while travelling in her family car https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...-from-Kyiv.jpg Smoke rising after shelling on the outskirts of the city is pictured from Kyiv https://i.imgflip.com/37bp6d.jpg |
