CALLER: I just think that if we're basically saying to Ukraine or we're basically ceding, we're allowing Ukraine to cede territory to Russia, that's just from the perspective of America and who we are as a people, I just think that's pretty weak.
I think what we should do is, if they're willing to fight and they're buying the weapons from us, then we should just allow them to do that, and not basically put demands on them about, you know, that they should, you know, cede territory.
You know, I heard President Trump this morning say something about, you know, Ukraine, you know, they're taking on a nation that's 10 times bigger than they are. And I look, in my mind, I'm saying, well, we did during the Revolutionary War when you had the British Empire. I mean, the British Empire was, like, 15 times bigger in terms of land area. So I don't know where these ideas are coming from. I just find it's the wrong approach for me. We should just -- it's not costing us anything. We should just let them fight them out. So, you know, this thing --
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Well, I mean, what you're saying is we should just stand back, let the killing continue, not care at all that it could lead to a wider conflict in Europe. It's - you know, look, at the end of the day, we benefit the least, I will concede your point. We benefit the least of any country that is involved in these discussions right now. However, America is taking the lead.
You know, I -- look, I kind of agree with the Trump doctrine. And the Trump doctrine, I would define as this, is no forever wars. We're not going to fight a proxy war like Biden was fighting with Russia, by providing hundreds of billions of dollars in military equipment, you know, at our expense. He'll sell them the weapons so that they can defend themselves against an invasion. I think America, you know, has to be that shining city on the hill and advance the cause of freedom when at all possible, but without being the world's policeman. I know it's selective at times.
