Donald Trump has been waiting to hear this. But he knows it will make the Democrats have a tantrum.
And Vladimir Putin makes an admission about Trump that is sending the Democrat Party into chaos.
In a striking moment of diplomatic alignment, Russian President Vladimir Putin endorsed President Donald Trump’s claim that the war in Ukraine would never have ignited had Trump been in office instead of Joe Biden. The agreement came during a press conference following a summit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday evening.
“I can confirm that,” Putin declared, addressing reporters as the summit concluded. His statement bolstered Trump’s repeated assertions, made both during his campaign and after retaking the presidency, that his leadership could have averted the Ukrainian conflict.
Critics have challenged Trump’s perspective, questioning his claims that Ukraine provoked the war and that Biden’s administration missed critical opportunities to prevent it. Yet Putin’s remarks lent a powerful voice to Trump’s narrative.
“I’d like to add one more thing,” Putin said, reflecting on past diplomatic efforts. “I’d like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with a previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to a point of no return when it would come to hostilities and I said it quite directly back then that it’s a big mistake.”
“Today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then there would be no war – I am quite sure that it would indeed be so. I can confirm that.”
Putin described the dire state of U.S.-Russia relations before Trump’s return, noting they had “fallen to the lowest point since the Cold War.” He highlighted the absence of summits between the two nations over the past four years, arguing this gap harmed both countries and global stability. “That’s not benefiting our countries and the world as a whole,” Putin said, stressing the need to move from confrontation to constructive engagement.
The Russian leader praised Trump’s approach, commending “his strive to get to the crux of the matter and to understand this history” of the Ukraine conflict. Calling this commitment “precious,” Putin expressed optimism that Trump’s leadership could foster improved relations.
He voiced hope that this new phase of diplomacy would “help us rebuild and foster mutually beneficial and equal ties at this new stage, even during the hardest conditions.”
“Overall, me and President Trump have built a very good business-like and trustworthy contact, and have every reason to believe that moving down this path we can come to the end of the conflict in Ukraine,” Putin added, signaling a potential turning point in the ongoing war.
The summit sparked criticism, particularly when compared to Trump’s earlier White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That encounter featured tense, public exchanges, with Trump openly criticizing Zelenskyy’s approach to the conflict. “Biden could’ve stopped it, Zelenskyy could’ve stopped it, and Putin should’ve never started it,” Trump stated in April, distributing blame across the board.
Trump’s Commanding Leadership Stands Out
Trump’s summit with Putin showcased a decisive and pragmatic leadership style that contrasts strongly with the approaches of Biden and other Democratic figures. His ability to engage directly with global leaders like Putin, fostering open dialogue while maintaining a firm stance, reflects a strength that has redefined U.S. foreign policy.
Biden’s presidency, by contrast, was marked by hesitation and missed opportunities, particularly in managing rising tensions in Ukraine. Democratic leaders often projected indecision, failing to assert the authority needed to deter aggression or broker meaningful solutions.
Their reactive policies allowed the conflict to escalate, leaving the U.S. and its allies on the defensive. Trump’s proactive diplomacy, evident in his summit with Putin, signals a return to assertive leadership.
Trump’s track record of prioritizing peace through strength further sets him apart. His ability to build “business-like and trustworthy” relationships, as Putin described, reflects a unique blend of charisma and determination.
Unlike Democratic leaders who leaned on rhetoric over results, Trump focuses on actionable progress—whether through summits, negotiations, or strategic positioning.
As the U.S. navigates this critical juncture, Trump’s respected leadership offers an obvious contrast to the weaker, less effective strategies of Biden and his allies, positioning him as a global figure capable of steering the world toward stability.
