The war began when Russia invaded Ukraine, but Donald J. Trump said on a podcast that the Ukrainian president “should never have let that war start.”

    So to be fair, this is consistent with what was always his stated position. Trump has said from day one that Zelinskyy should have just ceded the disputed territory to Putin based solely on Putin’s pinky swear that he won’t come looking for more. So since Zelinskyy didn’t accept Putin’s demands before the tanks rolled in, it’s therefore his fault the war began. See? He’s not saying Zelinskyy invaded Russia or something. He’s just doing some classic victim blaming.

    So much for “Fight, Fight, Fight.”
