Former President Donald Trump has, for the second time in two days, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as 'smart' for his strategy in Ukraine as the Kremlin's 'special military operation' began. Trump, speaking at a super PAC fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, spoke off the cuff about the impending military action Wednesday night.The former president spoke about America's enemies during the crisis, saying: 'Now they laugh at us. That’s why you have Ukraine, that’s why you’re going to have China. Taiwan is next, and you’re going to see the same kind of thing.'

They certainly do laugh at us. They always laugh at the weak.

yes, Ukraine, then Taiwan, and very soon the Psalm 83 war against Israel. But that one wont work out nearly as well. Because Israel will push its borders further out to have more security.

DTA: Psaki said, "...we try not to take advice from anyone who praises President Putin and his military strategy."
Too bad because they should.

Trump is right again.
You might not like Putin , but he is smart.
For one thing he is smart enough to know that at this point in time the United State has the weakest and most incompetent President in all our history and if there was ever a time to take advantage of the United State. it is now.
China will be next and they are doing it with the money and technologies our companies took over there so thy could produce cheap products using slave labor.
Trump was bringing these jobs home.

Speaking of smart, Trump should get a lot smarter. Shutting down the U.S. economy was not smart. Listening to, and giving a platform, Dr. Fauci and Dr Birx was not smart. Appointing Christopher Wray to lead the FBI was not smart. Appointing Bill Barr as AG was not smart. Then giving him sole authority to release the documents was not smart. Those documents have never been released. Pushing through a shot, and calling it a "vaccine", was not smart, and has done immeasurable damage to society and the world economy. There is a reason it takes 5 years to test a shot. You were taken by the drug companies who have gotten immeasurably rich because you made their product government sponsored and recommended, with no legal liability for any damages to anyone. Frankly, I think you need to drop the smart references. I will still vote for you, but I expect a lot better, including firing people that disappoint, and I mean, if they do not perform, it is "you're fired". It does not matter what CNN or ABC think about it.

Russia. China. Let’s not forget the mullahs in Iran who are going full speed on their nuke program thanks to TaliBiden. And let’s not forget Rocket Man in NK who is once again test firing missiles toward Japan.
None of this happened when PDT was in charge. Every evil leader on the planet is taking advantage of the vegetable in the WH. It’s astounding that 81 million (yeah, right) voters didn’t see this coming, because we here certainly did.
Thanks for the 20/20 hindsight, #6.

Yes, Mr. President, now they laugh at us. But, I'm not so sure Putie is "smart". He just made a common sense decision to annex Ukraine knowing that the fake one sitting behind the Resolute Desk doesn't have all of his marbles anymore. What a miserable year and a month this has been since the Great Election Fraud of 2020.
And it ain't over. Xi is licking his chops as he prepares to annex Taiwan. Kimmie must be beside himself having to wait before he can crush South Korea and remove the DMZ. And let's see. Surely, the mullahs have plans for Israel...or could the reverse be true. Boy, would I like to be a fly on the wall when the Rothschilds discuss what else they have in mind and give Schwab and Soros their new marching orders.

You want to hurt Putin? Be energy independent. Putin was broke when oil was at $50/bbl.

I think there's a whole lot of sarcasm in Trump's so-called praise of Putin.

Psaki doesn't distinguish between being "smart" and doing "the right thing." Putin is a smart man. Hell, Hitler was a smart man, I suppose, in many ways. But Hitler did not do the right thing -- which is the understatement of the millennium! Hitler, of course, was a horrible man. I suppose Putin is too. But they're both smart.
What America has is a very STUPID and WEAK president right now -- and a corrupt one at that, although the expression of his corruption is not as obviously severe as Putin's. Putin is not weak.
Oh for the days of Jimmy Carter! I never thought I'd say that. But compared to what we have now, Carter was a lion. We need Reagan -- Ronald Reagan the Great!

If Putin was not “smart” Putin would not be the President of Russia. Saying that does not in anyway indicate that Trump is in favor of Putin starting a war against Ukraine.

Look how many US presidents Putin has been through. He knows when we are weak and knows how to take advantage of that weakness.George Bush (takes Georgia), Obama (takes Crimea) , Trump ( takes nothing), Biden (Takes Ukraine) ! Not to mention Biden showcased both his and his feckless administrations weakness with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. What are The dementia redden President and his administration planning for Taiwan? Because it is most definitely next !!! What are your deterrence steps? Xi will hit while we are at our weakest and that is now!!! But hay you greenies at least we aren't drilling for oil, fracking and energy independent. Stupid people do stupid things!!

I agree with #6, yet would still vote for Trump. But I would love to hear him say, "I took some bad advice during my first term. It won't happen again."

The democrats will use his expression to claim Trump is pro Moscow and hates America when all he is doing is stating the obvious. Donald Trump is more proAmerican than all the democrats, the never Trumpers and the deep state.

Perhaps we should focus on Vladimir Truedope's 'special military operation' against his own people in Canada, that "other Democracy" to our north?

Yes, Putin is smart and you have to know that. Biden and his gang of merry terrorists can't understand it so they can defend us, which is what they are supposed to do. But, they are too busy worrying about abortions and vaccination being enforced.

Putin is an evil monster, but he is smart and cleaver. He ran circles around Biden. Putin was playing chess and Biden was playing tic tac dough

Trump is right again.
Some are saying that latest is a bad move by Putin.
It ain't over 'till it's over [and God wins].
Putin is proving to be 'king of the bluff and walking the line'. One good thing, is that he is collapsing NATO like the feckless house of cards that it is. Dittos the Biden regime. Can the UN be next? Let's drop the liberal dreams and get real .. very, very real.
But while brutal, he loves Russia .. and still claims to be a Christian.
I'm still praying that God can 'flip' him, as God did another murder and persecutor: Saul of Tarsus.
Time for a 'road to Kyiv' moment. Please, Lord, make it happen.

Don't twist the meaning of President Trump's words/ statements. We all know he means that Putin is running a 'smart' invasion of Ukraine, not that he supports Putin's evil ways. Putin waited until Trump was out of office and replaced by a cognitively impaired man and a TOTALLY incompetent and weak Administration. If Trump was still President, Putin would NEVER have taken the current actions.

Next: Taiwan.

Yes, Putin is smart and calculating. Trump said it, and unlike so many of our weak-kneed politicians, he won't back down and apologize for speaking the truth. Sadly for America, Putin is 1000x smarter than Biden ever was. Another example of why elections matter and why people should consider more than "mean tweets" when voting!
