Trump blasts Biden over Putin’s military invasion of Ukraine and says Russian leader saw US ‘weakness in Afghanistan’

DONALD Trump blasted President Joe Biden over Vladimir Putin's military invasion of Ukraine and said the Russian leader saw the United States' "weakness in Afghanistan."

Speaking on a phone call with Fox News' Laura Ingraham Wednesday night, Trump said Putin "saw the weakness in Afghanistan" and "started thinking 'I can do this.'"

In regards to Biden monitoring the Ukraine invasion, Trump said: "I don't think he's monitoring.

"I think he's sleeping right now."

Overall, Trump called the Ukraine invasion a "very terrible situation" and a situation that "should have never happened."

He told Ingraham that the Russian leader didn't invade Ukraine during his time as president for "a very good reason, and I'll explain that to you someday."

"It's a very sad thing for the world, for the country. And it's going to be very sad for a lot of people that are going to be needlessly killed," he explained.

Trump blamed Biden and a "rigged election" for Russia's aggressiveness, saying Putin "sees the weakness, and the incompetence, and the stupidity of this administration."

The former president also slammed Biden for driving the US out of business, saying "he doesn't know what the hell he's doing and it's an absolute disgrace."

Referring to Russia and China, Trump said: "As a young man I heard the worst thing you can do is drive those two countries together."
