Donald Trump Reveals The Unusual Way He Would Handle The War In Ukraine – The List

On Saturday, while speaking with Republican donors in New Orleans, former President Donald Trump made a strange comment regarding how he might handle the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In audio obtained by The Washington Post, Trump told the crowd that he would paint Chinese flags on American F-22 planes and bomb Russia, thus making it appear as though China had instigated the attack against Russia. According to Trump, the American people would "sit back and watch" as the two countries fought one another.It's still unclear whether Trump was joking or not.

During this same meeting, Trump seemed to also make it clear that he disagreed with NATO's actions since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and that, perhaps, if he had won the 2020 presidential election, Trump would have already gotten American troops more actively involved in stopping the conflict. "Are all of these nations going to stand by and watch perhaps millions of people be slaughtered as the onslaught continues?" Trump said at the meeting (viaCBS News)."At what point do countries say, 'No, we can't take this massive crime against humanity?' We can't let it happen. We can't let it continue to happen."

Given his prior relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and leniency on the actions of Russia, it's unclear if Trump would actually get involved in stopping the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
