‘Sometimes it’s better to let them fight...’: Trump’s shocking war analogy of Russia-Ukraine war

At the White House, Donald Trump met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss the escalating Russia-Ukraine war. Trump called it a ‘bloodbath,’ citing 5,000–6,000 soldiers dying weekly. He revealed a 2+ hour call with Putin and used a striking analogy likening the war to two kids fighting. Trump blamed Biden for reviving Nord Stream 2 and insisted he’s ‘not friends with anybody,’ while Merz urged U.S. leadership to help end the conflict, invoking the legacy of D-Day.
