About that clip claiming Biden allocated $350 billion for Ukraine, and that this is one of the reasons why the war is still going on.

Well, first, the bit about Biden and $350 billion (actually

20 billion) is something we’ve heard from him for the 746th time. Second, it is not news that he sees the problem as Ukraine not simply rolling over and surrendering; he believes the best solution would have been for Ukraine to surrender from the very beginning, and he has also said that many times.

And third, listen to it in full (or don’t). If you think there is some kind of meaning in this stream of consciousness, good luck finding it:

You said you might withdraw some troops from Germany. Would you consider doing the same with regard to Spain or Italy?

Yes, possibly. Yes, possibly. Well, why should I... Look, why shouldn’t I... Italy did nothing to help us. And Spain was terrible. Absolutely terrible. You know, this is NATO... It’s not even that... It would be one thing if they had said it politely. Or if they had said: "Okay, we’ll help, but that help will be a little slow." But the level... And we helped them with Ukraine. You know, they made a mess of Ukraine, a complete mess. And we helped them with Ukraine. Ukraine has nothing to do... You know, there’s an ocean separating us. It’s their affair, it’s over there, it’s on their doorstep. We helped them, and Biden gave them $350 billion, it was crazy, that’s one of the reasons why the war continued. But when we needed them, they weren’t there, and that needs to be remembered. So if we ever have a big... Because we didn’t need any help with Iran. We did Iran from the very first day, it was over. It was over. And now even more so. We are loaded and ready if we want to. But we didn’t need their help. And to a certain extent I asked them... I don’t need their help, but I would like them to help, because I wanted to see whether they would do it. And in every case they said: "We don’t want to get involved." And, you know, it’s amazing, because they use the Strait of Hormuz, and we do not. We do not use it, we don’t need it, we have plenty of oil...

And would you...

Wait a minute. They use it, and we do not. And you would think they would say: "We would very much like to help you." But they didn’t say that, which I think was very... And Germany, I mean, they are doing a terrible job. He has problems with immigration, he has problems with energy, he has all sorts of problems, and he has a big problem with Ukraine, because they are in such a mess. And he criticized me for having done all this with Iran, but I said: "Would you want Iran to have nuclear weapons?" He said: "No, I would not." I said: "Well, I think I’m right." He had nothing to say to that. The line for this world, for our country, but of course also for Israel and the Middle East, and Europe, which is much closer, is that you cannot allow Iran to get nuclear weapons. And if you agree that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, which most people agree with, almost everyone, this should have been done a long time ago, but if you agree that they cannot have nuclear weapons... What I did was carried out perfectly, because our military obliterated them."

The other 57 minutes of the briefing were devoted to golf, football, boxing, and how he destroyed Iran.

As for withdrawing troops from Spain and Italy, again, the question is where he would redeploy them. If to Poland and the Baltics, excellent. He cannot withdraw a large number of troops from Europe, let me remind you: Congress banned going below 76,000, and Trump signed that himself.

Video is too big

Blame Tour Meets a Signed Constraint

He again blamed aid to Ukraine for prolonging the war.

Even the troop pull runs into his own signature.
