As for Trump, to be precise, he said when he returns to the White House, he will not defend NATO members that don’t meet defense spending targets, days after he suggested he would tell Russia to attack NATO allies he considered delinquent.
“Look, if they’re not going to pay, we’re not going to protect, okay?”
It is interesting Doug indicates the idea of Ukraine having a NAZI issue is all Russian propaganda when we have over a decade of US on the ground reporting on the depth of NAZI ideology embedded deep within the Ukrainian populace and government.
We have Canada applauding an actual Waffen SS NAZI in the Canadian house of MP.
We have John Stewart giving awards to Ukrainian soldiers with NAZI tattoos on National TV.
We have the United Nations applauding the women of Ukraine working hard to save Ukraine while their subject was wearing NAZI symbols on her uniform.
We have the New York Times writing about the problem of "Nazi Symbols on Ukraine's Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues..."
We have from 2015: “Volunteer Ukrainian Unit Includes Nazis.”—USA Today, March 10, 2015.
We have from 2019: "Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine"
There are hundreds and hundreds of other examples.
For Doug to say this is Russian propaganda really dilutes his "expertise" and makes this sound like a pro-war, let's kill some Ruskies propaganda.
The truth is NAZI ideology "infect" about 20%-25% of the population and about 30% of the government. This is not a fringe minority but a serious political movement. The US is actually allied with NAZIs.
He then skips over the simple fact Putin did NO military action under Trump but went to work immediately on Ukraine when Biden was elected.
Doug then repeats the absolute lie that Trump said "He would not stand with NATO allies". This is a fully debunked and is a blatant lie much like the recent "bloodbath" comment leaving out the important details of NATO allies having to invest and pay their share.
His out-right lies and propaganda dilutes the salient points he does make.
If I may add one source, by me, to the list regarding Nazis in Ukraine, not to dismiss the ones you offered but to include additional context:
