Donald Trump made clear that his personal grudge with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky hasn’t abated during a phone interview with NBC News.

Speaking with Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker on Saturday, the president knocked Zelensky for offering assistance to the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries, the latter of which the Ukrainian president said on Friday were seeking his aid in sharing drone detection technology.

The “last person we need help from is Zelensky,” Trump told Welker.

      It does to a degree, but also the US would likely call China/Russia beforehand and let them know it’s happening - assuming they go with ICBMs. US also has tactical nukes which are dropped from aircraft the outcry would obviously be huge, but I don’t see it triggering MAD.

        Nope but China, Israel, Russia, India and Pakistan all do and its probably unclear who the US would be launching at when they’re all headed towards Iran. Lots of itchy trigger fingers around.
