President Donald Trump and his recent statement of “gambling about World War III” got blasted by analyst Stephen A. Smith.
In one of the recent episodes of his program, “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” the ESPN analyst talked about President Donald Trump and his statement towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stating that “you’re gambling with World War III.”
“Well, we fast forward all of these years later,” Smith said, referring historically to Joseph Stalin and relating it to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “What does it look like with Putin right now? Except for Stalin, one could argue that it was greed. In the case of Putin, he has the mentality that this is stuff that belongs to us. Just like when we took over Crimea in 2014, we believe that’s ours. Ukraine is ours. Poland is ours. Finland is ours. 14 other different countries ours. We believe that it belongs to us. And we’re coming back to reclaim it.”
“Everything that he’s doing says so. We don’t have to worry about his words. We’re looking at his actions. We’re looking at his actions. And oh, by the way, it doesn’t help when we see our president in the Oval Office in the White House with Ukrainian President Zalinski acting like this.”
“See, this is why relationships with other nations or with specific dignitaries should have our proverbial eyebrows raised because it smells. What’s up with Trump and Putin? Why are you not dealing with this man? Why are you letting him do this to Ukraine, knowing that it has most of Europe scared sh*tless?”

Donald Trump Calls Putin “Absolutely Crazy” Amid Escalating Ukraine Conflict
President Donald Trump has sharply criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him “absolutely crazy” following Russia’s latest aerial assault on Ukraine. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed frustration over Putin’s aggressive actions, stating that the Russian leader is “needlessly killing a lot of people” by launching missiles and drones into Ukrainian cities.

I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him,” Trump said in his post. “He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever.”

These remarks from Donald Trump come as Russia intensifies its attacks, with hundreds of drones and missiles fired in a single night, marking one of the most significant escalations in the ongoing war.
