Donald Trump’s affection for Vladimir Putin never seemed to bother Republicans in Congress. It’s made them a little uncomfortable, however, as the Russian president continues to unleash hell on Ukraine in an invasion that has killed thousands and laid waste to one of America’s allies. Trump initially praised the invasion as “genius” before reversing course and calling it a “Holocaust,” although he couldn’t bring himself to criticize Putin. Sean Hannity gave Trump another opportunity to do so on Thursday night — several, in fact — but he still couldn’t do it.

 

“You came under some fire when you said Vladimir Putin is very smart,” Hannity said. “I think I know you a little bit better than most people in the media, and I think you also recognize he’s evil, do you not?”

Trump ignored the question and said that when he called Putin smart he was talking about how he sent tanks into separatist-backed regions of eastern Ukraine.

“We will not fight a war against Russia in Ukraine.  Direct confrontation between NATO and Russia is World War Three, something we must strive to prevent.

But we already know Putin’s war against Ukraine will never be a victory. He hoped to dominate Ukraine without a fight.  He failed. He hoped to fracture European resolve.  He failed. 

He hoped to weaken the transatlantic alliance.  He failed. He hoped to split apart American democracies, in terms of our positions.  He failed.

The American people are united.  The world is united.  And we stand with the people of Ukraine.  We will not let autocrats and would-be emperors dictate the direction of the world.

Democracies are rising to meet this moment, rallying the world to the side of peace and the side of security.

We’re showing our strength, and we will not falter.”
