Donald Trump claimed during Thursday night’s debate with President Joe Biden that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin wouldn’t have happened on his watch. Trump claimed that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was so chaotic that it encouraged Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.“When Putin saw that, he said, ‘You know what? I think we’re gonna go in and maybe take my …’ This was his dream. I talked to him about it. His dream,” Trump said. Did Putin actually speak to Trump about attacking Ukraine, or is this Trump being braggadocious? But Trump has made no secret of his close, sometimes subservient relationship with Putin.Trump also blamed Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel on Biden, claiming that Iran was broke during the Trump presidency and couldn’t fund Hamas. Watch Trump’s bizarre recollection here: "You had no terror at all under my administration. ... The whole world is blowing up under him."— Trump hits Biden over the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, arguing they never would have happened if he was president. pic.twitter.com/lAqObQsmHn— The Recount (@therecount) June 28, 2024
