Chris Matthews, former MSNBC host, appeared on Morning Joe today and expressed rage over the Ukraine peace plan being embraced by Trump.
He seems most angry about the fact that Trump would not put American troops on the ground in Ukraine. Apparently, Matthews is not aware that one of the big points of Trump’s appeal is that he won’t involve the U.S. in foreign wars if he does not have to.
It’s really just another example of someone on the left being angry about the way Trump is doing something. Their complaints never end.
It is also hilarious how Matthews tries to use this issue to revive the Russiagate hoax, which you’ll notice if you watch the video.
The Daily Caller has more details:
Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews expressed outrage on Monday over President Donald Trump’s Russia-Ukraine peace deal restricting NATO troops in Ukraine.
The draft agreement includes that “NATO agrees not to station troops in Ukraine,” according to Sky News. Matthews raised concerns on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” that the provision would bar U.S. troops from fighting Russia on behalf of Ukraine.
“This thing smells from the beginning. When people say, ‘Is this Russia’s plan?’ … Who else would have cooked up this plan? 600,000 troops by the Ukrainians — that is a post‑Munich decision, after the deal was made that Trump will be in love with,” Matthews said. “After the deal, who’s going to defend Ukraine? And it’s going to be a smaller army against a larger portion of their country taken away already. They didn’t win on the battlefield. They’ll have a larger portion. No NATO troops — that means no U.S. troops.”
“Does anybody trust Donald Trump to go to war to defend Ukraine after the deal? Whatever happens, the aggressor Russians who are set on aggression — that’s what they want,” he continued. “That’s their motive in life. That’s [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s motive in life. Does anybody think that Donald Trump will put American troops in Ukraine to defend that country, or will lead NATO troops in that country? I don’t see it.”

Is there any wonder why Chris Matthews no longer has his own cable news show?
