President Donald Trump told aides not to publicize his decision to allow the sale of U.S. weapons to Ukraine, NBC News reported Thursday, so as to avoid agitating Russian President Vladimir Putin.
NBC News reported the development based on the accounts of multiple unnamed senior U.S. officials.
“He doesn’t want us to bring it up,” one unnamed White House official told the network. “It is not something he wants to talk about.”
Another motive for not broadcasting moves seen to be against Russia’s interests, according to similarly unnamed officials, is Trump’s “stubborn refusal to be seen as appeasing the media or critics,” in NBC’s words.
Yet another unnamed official quoted in the report said the President “thinks a better relationship with Russia is good for the U.S., and he really believes he can deliver it.”
The official also said Trump wants to prove he can achieve such a relationship.
Who’s Your Vladdy isn’t going to be happy with you, Dotard.
What, you thought Putin wouldn’t find out?
Do you know American weapons are different from legacy Russian ones? They have discernibly different effects? They don’t just come out of a big crate marked “WEAPUNS”?
Idiot.
“NBC: Trump Told Aides Not To Publicize Weapons Sales To Ukraine.”
Central Command is not gonna like that, Spanky.
“thinks a better relationship with Russia is good for the U.S., and he really believes he can deliver it.”
Sorta like if you have a bad relationship with your neighbour because he beats his wife and one day you determine to try and get along, so you quit criticizing him and start beating yours.
It would probably work.
Uh oh. Time for another spanking for Donnie…only this one won’t be as pleasurable.
