Trump: Russia is a war machine; US allies in Europe need to increase defense spending
Former US President Donald Trump has pointed out that in the past, Russia defeated Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte.
"Russia, what did they do? They defeated Hitler, they defeated Napoleon. Yeah, they’re a war machine," Trump said, addressing his supporters at an event broadcast on Fox News.
The ex-US president also noted that Washington’s allies in Europe needed to increase their defense spending as there was "a difference of $150 billion" with the US.
“Europe finds itself between Putin and Trump,” former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt told. Europe is right to be worried: The war in Ukraine isn’t going well, and frontline troops are running out of ammunition and men.
In this regard, Europe has done its part, sending whatever equipment its limited stockpiles contain and spending more on military support than the U.S. But this weekend, neither U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris nor a large congressional delegation could reassure Ukraine or its European supporters that the long-stalled U.S. aid package would pass soon.
No one was buying their excuses either. In reference to the decision for the U.S. House of Representatives to go on a two-week recess, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pointedly noted: “Please, everyone, remember that dictators don’t go on vacation.”
