We did not trigger the invasion of Ukraine. That is the most imbecilic thing I've ever heard. You can't blame NATO or Europe or America. Go and read the speeches of Vladimir Putin from 21 years ago when he said Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states are all illegitimate and are in fact parts of Russia. So the idea that we triggered this is of course absurd. Where it goes from now, I will not undercut either the amazing work of Envoy Witkoff or the President himself. (50:28–50:44)
