Discussion on Ukraine-Russia Conflict
Uh, and Ukraine, this report today, they have resumed strikes on Russian oil
refineries. Diesel, uh, is extremely high all over the world.
I thought you asked President Zelenskyy not-
I did
... to do that anymore.
I did. Zelenskyy's a, a, not a good guy for us to deal with.
Biden gave him hundreds of billions of dollars, um,
billions and billions of dollars worth of equipment.
Have you lost faith in him?
Well, I think they're gonna e- they're gonna end up with a settlement of
some kind.
They're not gonna do it with him. He doesn't wanna settle.
Uh, he says he wants to settle, but he doesn't.
No, I'm not a, I'm not a big fan of Zelenskyy.
They've destroyed that country.
That country...
Look, it really began with Barack Hussein Obama
when they
made them give up Crimea.
Mm-hmm.
Crimea's the most valuable part, by far, of Ukraine.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking, it's four-
Yeah, on the Black Sea
... four sides of ocean.
Right.
Most beautiful piece of land. I'm a real estate developer, I know-
Sure
... I know good land.
Yeah.
They gave up Crimea, but, uh, where it happened in a little
bit more modern time is when, uh,
Zelenskyy went to see Putin,
and they had a very bad
meeting. And as you know, Putin hates Zelenskyy and Zelenskyy hates

very hard to get something settled.
But that's a war that should've never started.
Does that end before you leave?
If the election weren't rigged, if the US election would've ri-
weren't rigged,
that would've never happened. That war would've never happened.
That's the saddest part. But then it was supposed to be a very much qui-
you know,
very quick war.
Right.
And if you remember, the tanks going up the highway right into
Kyiv, had
the general, who was obviously a not a very good
general, not made a right
turn into farmland, which was soaked and soaking wet from the heaviest
rain in 10 years, they say-
Mm-hmm
... he went right up into the mud, and it was like quicksand.
And those tanks, so they got, I guess, I don't know if you'd call it lucky or not
lucky, frankly, 'cause it's been five years
and Ukraine has lost a
tremendous... You know, Ukraine has lost
so many of its men,
and Russia, too, but Russia's a massive country.
Russia has millions of people to lose.
Yeah, 150 million people. Does that war end before you leave office?
Uh, it should end soon. I think they actually both would like to
see it
end, but I think, I find Zelenskyy to be more difficult to
deal
with than Putin.
Okay. Um, Joe Biden-
