If Trump had directed all the arms he has wasted on Iran to Ukraine instead, Ukraine could have defeated Russia by now & Trump would have avoided giving Iran control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Yes, Trump’s statement suggests some serious mental shortcoming. Not being a physician, I would recommend qualified medical and mental assistance.Daractenus (@Daractenus)”We don’t need anybody. We’re the strongest nation in the world. We don’t need them.”
He’s saying this just minutes after pleading with the whole world to come and help. This man is completely insane, somehow getting worse by the hour and fast becoming an existential threat.

Trump had better eat up his words: “when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war.”
Clearly Trump has no clue how to end his war of aggression against Iran.
He should not have adressed those words to Zelensky, who did not start any war, but to his master Putin.The Intellectualist (@highbrow_nobrow)Trump defames Zelenskyy: “He’s always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles. (2025)

When will all – including Trump – stop claiming that the US under Trump has helped Ukraine when it has not?
Total US assistance under the wonderful Biden amounted to $130 billion (not $350 bn as Trump patently lies), while Europe gave $200 billion & now more.Gandalv (@Microinteracti1)Trump last night: „We are helping NATO with Ukraine, so NATO should help the US to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.“This is a lie. Trump suspended all help— https://x.com/Microinteracti1/status/2033490944788455701
