Trump's competitor promises to give part of Ukraine to Russia and block Kyiv's accession to NATO

Sorry for the headline. I don't know why they don't just say it's Vivek Ramaswamy.
To that end, I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.

You know maybe trump isn't that bad
Trump would've let the special military operation happen and likely vetoed any retaliatory action. Kyiv would have fallen overnight, if not within weeks. You're forgetting that Trump got into power largely due to Putin's electoral interference, and that he's the closest that America had come to allying with Russia since the Second World War.
Don't forget that he was literally impeached for trying to blackmail Zelenskyy by denying him military support if he didn't give Trump dirt on Hunter Biden. Trump is no friend of Ukraine.
My issue with that theory is if it's true, why didn't Putin invade while Trump was in power? I think Putin rightly considers Trump a loose cannon who may well have escalated in response. While Biden is predictably afraid of escalation and has been eager to pump the brakes on military aid whenever possible, against congress's wishes.
Yeah if you completely disregard the annexation of Crimea you're entirely correct. He was so affraid of Trump he never even took Crimea!
That was 2014.
Ouch you're correct. Do I get half a point because one of is campaign stances was that the resulting sanctions should be lifted?
they were not trying to place nuclear bunkers in ukraine back then.
This guy is lining up to be Trump's VP.
He's doing his job then. We all know he's too brown to be the GOP nomination. So my wager is on him making Trump seem slightly less extreme without ever changing tact himself, since he doesn't know how to.
