One-fourth, more than one-fourth. Twelve million people have left Ukraine. And there's no end in sight. So he looks at this and he says, Trump is saying, well, when this whole thing started, and it didn't start on my watch... The Europeans said they were going to pour all this stuff in, and they didn't do what they said they did.
The United States, under Biden, gave enough money to save Ukraine, but not to win. And it's just a death thing. So I'm going to stop it. Zelensky then said he wanted to be in on talks and everybody said, you can't talk to Putin. And basically, J.D. Vance and I'm paraphrasing. And Trump said, we talked to Stalin. We talked to Mao. We talked to everybody.

How do you have a stop a war unless you talk to even if it is a monster? So then Zelensky said, I want to be on this and you're going to sell me out. And basically they said, listen, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't tell us what you're going to do. I know this is your country, but your country wouldn't exist if you count on your beloved European friends.

They talk a great game, but they do not give you enough. It came from us. And then Trump said some things. He said, by the way, he's a dictator. And he started it. Well, that got everybody upset because he didn't start the war. And I say that with all deference to Donald Trump because Donald Trump knows he didn't. Because Donald Trump campaigned correctly by saying the following.

That war would have never started if I were president because Putin did not invade on my people. He invaded in 2008 when he went into Osatia in Georgia on George W. Bush's watch. He went into Crimea and Donbass on Barack Obama's watch. He tried to take Kiev and more borderlands on Biden, but not mine. So what did he mean by that? Well, I think what he meant was.

that there were periods that this thing could have been prevented, and Ukraine acted in a way that might have precipitated. I don't know if I agree with that or not, but here's what he was trying to say very quickly. In 2014, there had been an elected pro-Russian Yanukovych, And he was overthrown. He was unpopular. He was corrupt. But they all are.

And then a pro-EU, pro-NATO, pro-European, pro-American person. And the controversy lies with what did John McCain do when he flew over there?

And then he looked at the Obama administration and he said, wow, they are appeasing, appeasing, appeasing me this this. Oh, wow.
