The debate just resumed after a short break, and the first question, to Trump, was about Ukraine.

"You have said you would solve this war in 24 hours. You said so just before the break tonight. How exactly would you do that? And I want to ask you a very simple question tonight: do you want Ukraine to win this war?" moderator David Muir asked.

The former president's response wasn't exactly a yes:

"I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly. People being killed by the millions. It's the millions. It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake numbers."

Muir pressed: "Just to clarify the question, do you believe it's in the US best interest for Ukraine to win this war?"

"I think it's the US best interest to get this war finished and just get it done, all right, negotiate a deal, because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed," Trump said.

The fucking scumbag can't even say he wants Ukraine to win, it's like he can't even bring himself to mention the name "Ukraine"

Harris, no surprise, strongly defended Washington's support for Ukraine, then again attacked Trump.

"I believe the reason that Donald Trump says that this war would be over within 24 hours is because he would just give it up," the vice-president said. "Through the work that I and others did, we brought 50 countries together to support Ukraine in its righteous defence, and because of our support, because of the air defence, the ammunition, the artillery, the javelins, the Abrams tanks that we have provided, Ukraine stands as an independent and free country."

"If Donald Trump were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now, and understand what that would mean, because Putin's agenda is not just about Ukraine. Understand why the European allies and our Nato allies are so thankful that you are no longer president, and that we understand the importance of the greatest military alliance the world has ever known, which is NATO, and what we have done to preserve the ability of Zelensky and the Ukrainians to fight for their independence. Otherwise, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe, starting with Poland."

She is spot on, Trumps idea of ending the war would be giving up, he never says "I will ensure Ukraine wins in 24 hours" but "I will end the war in 24 hours" which we all know means he will cut off all aid to Ukraine and try to force them into a surrender. She is correct, no country in Europe wants Trump as President aside from maybe Hungary.
