US donald trump Russia Ukraine
Trump said Russia would never have invaded Ukraine if they’d not been kicked out the G8 and was fact checked to the moon and back
Donald Trump’s neverending quest to normalise Russia and somehow bring Vladimir Putin back into the international fold continues apace.
Here he is, taking a break from making a fool of himself with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa to make a fool of himself … all by himself.
It was Trump’s insistence that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would never have happened if Putin hadn’t been thrown out of the G8 by western leaders.

Trump is forever the ignorant ass. It’s no wonder that historians have ranked him dead last as far as great presidents go.

Trump just said during his press conference with the South African president that if Russia was still in the G7 (was the G8) then there would have been no war.
Russia invaded while a member of the G8 in 2014.

If russia came back to the G8, it’d end up being a G2 with them and the US alone. Nobody else would stay with them.
