Donald Trump said Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin won't make a military move into Ukraine -- even though Putin already has done just that, seizing the country's Crimean peninsula.
"He's not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want,"
OP, the Crimean peninsula was leased by Russia and always controlled by it. The local populace consisted of some Tartars who neither the Ukrainians nor Russians like, and Russians with vacation Dacias there.

What hyperbole.
What I find says Russia leased naval facilities in Crimea by a treaty that was unilaterally terminated by Russia in 2014, whatta ya got that says differently?

I know that many Trump supporters don't care how much he really knows about America and world affairs (not much), but it is extraordinary that he would be unaware of Putin's activities (seeing that he admires him a great deal).
What does this even mean? Let's face it--he's wading into Palin territory with comments like this.
“...He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.”
“Well, he’s already there, isn’t he?” Mr. Stephanopoulos interrupted.
“O.K., well, he’s there in a certain way,” Mr. Trump replied. “But I’m not there. You have Obama there.And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength that you’re talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this. In the meantime, he’s going away. He take — takes Crimea....”
Trump and his followers defend Putin's aggressions and want to Make Russia Great Again!
Now, that, is not true! I deplor his aggression.
