Could Trump have stopped Putin’s war in Ukraine?
“It’s hard to see what the West could have done. We had the intelligence, we had the invasion plan.”
It is unlikely that Donald Trump would have been able to prevent the war in Ukraine, says former British Armed Forces Minister James Heappey but adds “maybe his dialogue with Putin could have changed things.”

For a big price or the sale of USA secrets.
Danold had The US for sale no doubt about it.
I think boris forgot that trump was trying to dismantle nato for putin. Bad Form boris!
Trump would've given putin carte blanche, we know that much. These 2 guys are idiots, and brexit has proven that they're morons.
Clearly Boris is an idiot 😮
Trump would have prevented the invasion by forcing Kyiv to formally sign away Crimea and the Donbas. Putin would have lined up the troops, and Trump would have proposed the peace plan that Putin gave him. And then if Ukraine had refused, they would have been more responsible when Putin invaded, and there would have been some excuse for trump to not defend Ukraine. " Ooh, if only they had accepted my peace plan, none of this bloodshed would have happened,"
Trump would have given Putin whatever he wanted even selling Europe out, all so he could say he had done a deal and sorted it out.
Trump will Surrender too Putin Day One
If Trump had been president he would have taken Putin's side as he always does.
So Johnson proves he is the traitor we have always assumed he is.
My best guess is that Trump would have told Zelensky that the US would not help Ukraine and that Ukraine better acquiesce to whatever Putin wanted.
So technically Trump would have prevented a war, although this would have been a win for Putin, just without any shots fired.
Would Trump have had another conversation with Putin where Putin said "no way!" and Trump said "way, Vladimir"
I think Boris Johnson is full of baloney.
Given that they actually invaded in 2014 he would've needed a time machine. More lies from Alexander Johnson.
Trump is P*tin's single most important Useful Idiot. Whilst Trump is convinced he is P*tin's best friend. Hence he could not have had any influence on P*tin's fixed aspirations, yet only would have supported P*tin in satisfying his absurd cravings.
What bulshit he would have let the Russians roll right over Ukraine
Sry brits but you are the laughing stock of the world and nobody takes you seriously and you have to know it.
I think that Trump was part of putins plan to INVADE Ukraine.
That’s an emphatic NO!
Who cares what this fool believes.
Disgusting human being
Evil people
What a obnoxious tool
They already invaded and took Crimea in 2014, they already made their decision at that point
The Chinese government spokesman, Victor Gao told BBC that the UK government should not overrate itself.
And pigs have wings.
Trump would have abandoned Ukraine to Russia. The assertion by Johnson is farcical.
Bonkers comment from a bonkers idiot, everything he is saying to flog his book shows what a plonker he is and how he should not even have been chair of his parish council!!!!
Liars and manipulators of the world unite!
Newsflash, Russia has been in Ukraine since 2014. And when Donald was president, he did nothing to address their operations in Ukraine.
I happen to believe this guy is a gullible fool.
There is a big difference between Joe’s “don’t,” and TRUMP’s “DON’T.”
Joe’s is feckless.
