The biotech CEO said he would give Russia concessions to end its unprovoked attack on Ukraine
Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has claimed that Ukrainians in the eastern part of the country do not mind Russian occupation.
The biotech CEO told a CNN town hall in Iowa that he would give Russia some concessions to end its unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
Mr Ramaswamy told the audience of GOP voters he was confident he could get Vladimir Putin to accept his peace plan, which would involve Russia cutting itself off from China militarily.
He described his plan as a “reasonable end” to the conflict, which has been waged since 24 February 2022.
Mr Ramaswamy said that his plan would “allow Ukraine to come out with sovereignty intact.”
But that it would come with “some territorial concessions of the Russian-speaking regions in eastern Ukraine.”
He told host Abby Phillip that his plan included a commitment not to admit Ukraine to NATO and that Moscow “exits its military alliance” with Beijing.
Mr Ramaswamy said he believed Mr Putin would go for his plan to end the bloodshed.
“So do I trust Vladimir Putin? Of course not. Is he a craven dictator? Absolutely, he is. But we will trust him to follow his self interest just as he will trust us to follow ours,” he said.
He was then asked what he would do as US president if the Russian leader marched his troops into Kyiv.
“I think that’s a fictitious scenario for a lot of reasons. Part of the reason Putin has been able to seize eastern Ukraine is they have not had the same level of resistance as the rest of Ukraine,” he said.
“The eastern regions of Ukraine are Russian speaking and don’t even really view themselves as part of Ukraine … that is why there was no counter-insurgency or resistance.”
“The eastern regions of Ukraine are Russian speaking and don’t even really view themselves as part of Ukraine … that is why there was no counter-insurgency or resistance.”
This guy is one ignorant bastard. In 2022 81% of the population of Ukraine spoke russian. He assumes a lot does putlers useful idiot, why doesn’t he go there and find out?
Ramaswamy is a bloody idiot. Not to put too fine a point on it.
I guess we know where he gets his information. If he really wanted to know the truth it wouldn’t be very far away, I’m sure there are some Ukrainian refugees where he lives. I know a dozen of them from the Donbas and each one would tell him he’s crazy.
He’s a fuckin moron and anyone knows his history would never refer to him as a biotech entrepreneur. He’s just the kind of guy Trump needs so he can create a new Cabinet Secretary…Department of Stupid.
Why doesn’t Ram-ass-whammy come right out and say it; “I’m a fan of the brutal and evil dictatorship, and so I want it to win. I hate the budding, brave, and innocent country of Ukraine and want it to live in slavery and complete misery.
Luckily, this disgusting creature won’t ever be POTUS. We have many morons in the US, but not enough to make him president.
RamAssWhamMe is a RuZZian agent. He deploys exclusively kremlin talking points. But he’s also as thick as pigshit and an evil little weasel.
He is pro-Ruzzian funded by Chinese blood money. A commie in conservative clothing.
