Trump on Iran:

Trump on Iran: We have three strategies. Do what we’re doing now—just bop along and look how bad they’re doing, because they’ve got 300% inflation. Their currency has almost no value. They’re not paying their soldiers. Their soldiers are leaving. So just keep that going because that’s not sustainable. Hit them really, really hard, or—really, the third is just beat them economically. But we’re doing that anyway. That’s sort of a part of the first. So economically, they are a mess. They can’t

With Ukraine short of Patriot interceptors, Russia sees no reason to enter real negotiations, ISW says

Trump:

Trump: The reason why munitions are low is because Biden gave $300 billion worth to Ukraine. They never like to mention that. Now, I give to Ukraine also, but they have to pay. Meaning the European Union—I don’t do Ukraine. I give it to the European Union. They have money, and they pay full dollar.
