085. A Speech by the "NAZI" Trump 03

 5,000 people, young people for the most part, soldiers from Ukraine, soldiers from Russia — they’re not from here and they’re not from the United States, but they’re souls. They’re souls. I think usually, mostly they’re young, beautiful souls that left their parents waving goodbye, left their brothers and sisters, “Goodbye. I’ll see you soon.” And they got blown to pieces. 5,000 on average a week are dying.

And people are dying elsewhere in the region, but tremendous numbers like we haven’t seen since World War Two are dying and I want to stop it. I want to stop it. It’s a horrible war. It would’ve never happened if I were president. That’s a war that would’ve never happened.

October 7th would have never happened if I were president because Iran had no money to pay Hamas or anybody else. They had no money. They were not looking to take care of them, they had to take care of themselves. They had no money. We stopped their oil effectively with the embargoes and sanctions.

But let me take this opportunity to thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the constructive role that you’ve played in facilitating the Ukraine talks, and it really is. You’ve been amazing. You’ve made everything available to us. Thank you very much. Thank you. And if we get that settled, we’ll pay a special tribute to what you’ve done. You really did lay a great groundwork. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

The West should not be dragging itself backward into another endless war in Europe, yet another endless war. We should stop the killing and work together to address the biggest long-term threats as one unbeatable team. Think of us as an unbeatable team.

I mean, when you look at what you’ve done here, that’s much more difficult than stopping stupidity. Think of it, it’s stupidity. What you’ve done is much more difficult, and you did it better than anybody else has ever done it.

As President of the United States, my preference will always be for peace and partnership, whenever those outcomes can be achieved. Always, it’s always going to be that way. Only a fool would think otherwise.

In recent years, far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it’s our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use US policy to dispense justice for their sins. They loved using our very powerful military. And now it’s really the most powerful it’s ever been. We just are getting a budget approved, $1 trillion, the highest budget we’ve ever had in history for military, $1 trillion, and we’re getting the greatest missiles, the greatest weapons, and you know I hate to do it, but you have to do it because we believe in peace through strength. You have to have the strength, otherwise bad things could happen.

But hopefully, we’ll never have to use any of those weapons. It seems to be an awfully big waste of money if you’re never going to use them, but hopefully we’ll never have to use them, because the destructive power of some of those weapons are like nobody’s seen before. I believe it is God’s job to sit in judgment; my job, to defend America and to promote the fundamental interest of stability, prosperity, and peace. That’s what I really want to do.

I will never hesitate to wield American power if it’s necessary to defend the United States or to help defend our allies. And there will be no mercy for any foe who tries to do us or them harm. We will have no mercy. They understand that. That’s why I’ve been pretty lucky. A lot of people think, “He’s looking to fight. He’s looking to fight,” and things get settled. It’s an amazing thing when they really think you mean it, but we do. We have the greatest military, the strongest military, stronger than any. Nobody’s even close.

We have the best weapons in the world, but we don’t want to use them. If you threaten America or our partners, however, then you’ll be faced with overwhelming strength and devastating force. We have things that you don’t even know about, you don’t hear about, and if you did, you’d say, “Wow.”

In recent weeks, following repeated attacks on American ships and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the United States military launched more than 1,100 strikes on the Houthis in Yemen. As a result, the Houthis agreed to stop. They said, “We don’t want this anymore.” It’s the first time you’ve heard that from them too. They’re tough, they’re fighters. But just days ago we were asked to cease targeting commercial… They were not going to be targeting commercial ships in any way, shape or form, or anything American, and they were very happy that we stopped, but we had 52 days of thunder and lightning like they’ve never seen before.

This was a swift, ferocious, decisive and extremely successful use of military force. Not that we wanted to do it, but they were shooting down ships. They were shooting at you. They were shooting at Saudi Arabia. We don’t want them shooting in Saudi Arabia, if that’s okay. So we hit them hard. We got what we came for, and then we got out.

Since January 20th, the US military has terminated 83 terrorist leaders operating across Iraq, Syria, and Somalia, including ISIS’s number two global leader. You read about that just recently. With the help of Pakistan, we apprehended the ISIS terrorists responsible for the attack on 13 American service members at Abbey Gate. That horrible, horrible disaster. During this Afghanistan withdrawal, that’s another thing that we don’t even think about so much anymore. 13 died, but 42 were horribly wounded, but hundreds of people died overall, because I count the people on the other side. Hundreds of people, just grossly incompetent.

It’s probably why Putin decided to go into Ukraine, something he never would’ve done if I were president. But we wouldn’t have had the problems of October 7th if I were president. We wouldn’t have had Ukraine, Russia, if I were president. We wouldn’t have had Abbey Gate because there wouldn’t have been any reason. We were getting out, but we were getting out with dignity and with strength and power, but the way they got out was not good. I think it was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.

And we’ve been working tirelessly to bring back all hostages held by Hamas. We brought back a lot already, but we’re bringing back more. This weekend, we successfully negotiated the release of the last American hostage. Edan Alexander just came out a few hours ago, and we continue to work to get that war ended as quickly as possible. It’s a horrible thing that’s taking place.
