And Vladimir Putin warned that we're not we lost the Eastern Europe, but we're not going to put a former Soviet republic as a NATO EU power right on our frontier. And they didn't believe him. And then he looked at the Obama administration and he said, wow, they are appeasing, appeasing, appeasing me this this. Oh, wow. We want reset, reset, reset, Hillary, reset, reset, and then the hot mic.

Tell Vladimir, Mr. Medvedev, tell Vladimir that if you'll just give me some space, i.e. don't invade until I get re-elected in 2012, I'll be flexible on missile defense, i.e. I will destroy missile defense and disband it. And they both kept their bargain, and then he invaded after Obama was elected, and Obama did nothing. Okay. Trump is angry about that.

So then, after they invaded on the 24th, and Trump, by the way, had said, you know what, I meant, I didn't mean that. I know that Russia invaded. He said that yesterday. But why did he call him a dictator? Well, everybody said... Well, he hasn't held elections, but Churchill didn't for a decade from 1935 to 1945. And that's very disingenuous.

Right. Yes. And he brought people in that he did like, and he liked people that – he brought people like Halifax, who was all over the place politically. And he brought loyalists like Anthony Eden in, he brought Bette Bevin in, he brought all sorts of people. And the point I'm making is he had a wartime Israeli-type coalition government.

And he censored the news that he thought was pro-German, but he did not hound his political opponents. Zelensky has suspended a lot of habeas corpus. He's suspended opposition parties. He's suspended opposition media. He has canceled elections. And I don't think he's a dictator like Putin, but he is a soft dictator. Okay, so that's what got everybody angry.

And then the left said that Donald Trump is pro-Russian because he lied and said that Russia didn't invade. Well, the other thing that he was very angry about is in March, just... So this time three years ago, Zelensky's a hero because after 10 days or 12 days, that column we watched every day was blown apart.

And Kiev was saved and he had a little t-shirt on, he was an ex-comedian, he was going all over the world, he was a rock star. And they said, the war is over. They lost. This man said, and it wasn't over. And then things started to happen. He kept making demands on the United States, and we thought Europe was going to shoulder it. Europe was not meeting their 2%, even though they'd been hector.
