Former US President Donald TrumpWASHINGTON, Mar 7 Former US President Donald Trump «jokingly «offered to bomb Russia from American F-22 fighters, but attach Chinese flags to them so that Washington could blame Beijing for everything and observe the conflict between the two countries, writes the Washington Post. As it became known to the publication, Trump spoke about this on Saturday at an event for Republican Party sponsors.
"The U.S. should tag F-22s with Chinese flags and "knock the f***** out of Russia" with bombs,' Trump said.

Trump also criticized US President Joe Biden for not wanting to «attack» Russia in the situation around Ukraine.Putin was smarter than the US leadership in the situation with Ukraine, Trump said»At what point will we say that we can no longer endure this massive crime against humanity? We cannot allow this. We cannot allow it to continue to happen,» the former said US President.

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine early in the morning on February 24th. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass.
