Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine \u201cdoesn\u2019t affect the United States,\u201d President Donald Trump absurdly said during his kickoff news conference for the NATO summit being hosted in Turkey.<\/p>\n

It was just the latest example of the president attempting to groom the public into accepting the obvious lie that Russia\u2019s deathly imperial march to gobble up territory beyond its borders is of no consequence to Americans.<\/p>\n

In reality, Russia\u2019s invasion contributed significantly to an initial spike in oil prices and higher inflation pressures \u2014\u00a0issues that continue to affect global markets, U.S. Bank recently said. And that\u2019s to say nothing of the geopolitical implications of Russia expanding its footprint and potentially threatening U.S. allies, which many of these allies fear.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Trump made his comments Tuesday alongside Turkey\u2019s authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, in a kickoff to the NATO summit in Ankara. As MS NOW reported, the summit comes as Trump has been ramping up his attacks on American allies and \u201cincreasingly isolating\u201d the United States.<\/p>\n

Trump has shown that he\u2019s oddly desperate to promote this particular claim. In fact, his puerile Oval Office tantrum toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last year really <\/em>kicked into full gear after Zelenskyy warned Trump \u2014 and by extension, Americans \u2014 of the reality that Russia\u2019s invasion would affect the U.S., no matter the size of the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

The claim that the military conflict \u201cdoesn\u2019t affect\u201d the U.S. is economically and geopolitically idiotic \u2014 and sounds like propaganda one might expect from the mouth of a KGB agent.<\/p>\n

And that, unfortunately, leaves Americans with two equally disturbing potential takeaways: Trump is either too ignorant to know the truth, or he knows the truth and is serving Russia\u2019s interests by lying.<\/p>\n
