The Putin-kowtowing Malignant Loser released a treasonous video message yesterday in which he claimed America is the greatest threat to Western Civilization, not his handlers in Russia. Using phrases like "proxy battle," and "nuclear armageddon," he's parroting Kremlin propaganda to the letter. From Newsweek:
"In the video, Trump echoes his recent apocalyptic rhetoric by claiming the U.S. has 'never been closer to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden.' He describes the war in Ukraine as a 'proxy battle' that could lead to 'nuclear armageddon.'
'Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war,' Trump says in the video. 'We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to immediately have a total cessation of hostilities.'
Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he could personally stop the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours, goes on to say that he will save the country from 'globalists' and 'deep staters' who are 'chasing monsters and phantoms overseas' and 'perpetually dragging us into endless wars.'
The ex-president then vows to begin 'fundamentally reevaluating NATO's purpose and NATO's mission' if elected in 2024, before bemoaning a host of domestic issues, including culture war topics, which he claims represent a greater 'threat' to 'Western civilization' than Russia.
'The greatest threat to Western Civilization today is not Russia,' says Trump. 'It's probably, more than anything else, ourselves and some of the horrible, U.S.A. hating people that represent us.'" (our emphasis)
With his indictment in various jurisdictions imminent, his rhetoric is getting more desperate and unhinged, sucking up to his friends in Moscow to throw him a lifeline in some way. He also may think that Putin can still award him significant business opportunities in the failing Russian Federation in exchange for following their line.
