Trump, the rest:
▪️We spoke with Putin about Ukraine and a little about Iran. We had a very good conversation. I think we'll come to a solution fairly quickly. I hope so. I think he would like to see a solution, I'll tell you that, and that's good.
▪️[And what does he want in the situation with Iran?] He told me he wants to be involved in enrichment if he helps us get that. (He means Iranian nuclear fuel, - ed.) I said, I would much rather you be involved in ending the war with Ukraine. That would be more important to me.
▪️Because we... we're not going to let Iran get nuclear weapons. We knocked out their fleet, their aviation, their air defenses, everything, the equipment, everything they have, radars, they have almost nothing left, they have a few missiles, a small % of missile production infrastructure, we knocked out about 80%.
▪️Putin also does not want Iran to have nuclear weapons.
▪️But I spoke with Putin for a long time, I offered him a small ceasefire, and I think he'll do it. Has he announced it already? I asked him for that. Even if it's a small ceasefire... So many people are being killed, it's so ridiculous.
▪️We talked more about the war in Ukraine, but he wants to help [with Iran]. I said that before you help me, I want to end your war. So we had a good conversation. I've known him for a very long time. I think he was ready to make a deal some time ago, but some people made it harder for him to make a deal.
(Well, obviously, Europe and Ukraine made it harder for him to make a deal.)
▪️[And which war do you think will end sooner?] (Ukraine or Iran, - ed.) Ummm... That's an interesting question. Which war will end sooner... I don't know, maybe at the same time. I think Ukraine (he means Iran, - ed.), from a military point of view they have been defeated. You won't know that if you read the fake news, but from a military point of view their fleet, 159 ships, every ship underwater. It will be very hard for them to make a naval comeback. All their planes have been shot down or destroyed. Their missiles have been destroyed by 82%. And their drones are, basically, mostly gone. Most of the factories are almost gone too.
(I included the continuation of this fragment, so that you can once again make sure that he meant Iran.)
▪️We now have beautiful equipment against drones, these are lasers and special machine guns that knock them out like flies, and we use bullets instead of missiles costing millions of dollars, which we were using to shoot down drones for $30 thousand. So we're in very good shape. And their economy is collapsing. Their money has lost its value. They have inflation never seen before.
▪️We asked NATO and Europe to do certain things regarding Ukraine, but they refused.
Great Call, Wrong War on the Desk
Trump praises Putin call and mixes up Ukraine with Iran.
The deal is already a verbal slip.
