All of the European blowhard promises have not been actualized, and you're dependent right now on the two to 300 billion that we give you, and yet you're telling us what you're going to do and what you're not going to do. and yet you haven't won the war, and we've given you $300 million, and you're not going to win the war.

And it's never been the position of any administration, not Obama, not my first one, not Biden, to militarily give you the ability to take back the Crimea and the Donbas. It's not going to happen. So let's not play coy about it. We're not going to lie and say this is a bargaining chip. Second, You're armed to the teeth. You're better armed than any other NATO country right now.

You're at the point where Putin regrets what he did. And if we can get him back out to where he started from, you will be able to defend yourself. So now he's saying, essentially, I don't care what people say. You're not going to be in NATO. And you know you're not going to be in NATO. Europe knows you're not going to be in NATO. We know you're not going to be in NATO. And Russia.

So why the pretense of saying, well, we're going to negotiate about NATO membership or we're going to negotiate Crimea and Donbass? Nobody believes that. So what's the only real contention to stop this thing? Can Donald Trump somehow get... Vladimir Putin back to where he was on February 23rd or close to it when he invaded.

And I guess he's going to say, okay, Vladimir, you can tell everybody that you institutionalized what you already had at Crimea and Donbass. You were able to make sure that... Zelensky is not in NATO. You have your new anti-American alliance. Good. And then he can say to Zelensky, you were very heroic. You were like the Finns in World War II. You stopped the Russians. You saved your country.

You were never going to get back what you lost in 2014. You may not be in NATO, but... You're armed and we're going to have a concession and we're not neo-imperialist. We're trying to have a business relationship. It's good for you because you will be able to develop your natural resources. It's good for us because we'll get some compensation and that will be a tripwire with the Russians.
