LOL! Trump says Putin is 'not going to go into Ukraine,' despite Crimea

Washington (CNN)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," Trump said in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."

"Well, he's already there, isn't he?" Stephanoploulos responded, in a reference to Crimea, which Putin took from Ukraine in early 2014.
Trump said: "OK -- well, he's there in a certain way. 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 takes Crimea."

Are he and Putin in regular communications? Has Putin reassured him--"Not to worry, Don, you just dismantle NATO and make sure those sanctions are lifted, and I'll be gentle as a baby for now on"?

Someone needs to take a really really close look at the relationship between these two.

He's just wandering around, trying to find a way to pivot away from his utter lack of knowledge of world affairs. Is he saying Obama takes Crimea? Or pretending that he knows Putin did? What does "there in a certain way" mean? That short statement is a mess.
