Joy Behar claimed on The View that electing Donald Trump would lead to dire geopolitical consequences, including Russia invading Europe and starting World War III.
She argued Trump’s criticism of NATO countries not paying their fair share would encourage Russian aggression, with Vladimir Putin acting similarly to Adolf Hitler.
“On one hand you have Biden. How old is he 81? He stammers. He’s had a stammer all his life. That’s part of the reason why he looks a little doddering. He’s trying to get the words out. The guy has accomplished a lot,” Behar said.
Behar warned that young “MAGA guys” celebrating Trump would face a military draft to fight in Ukraine and other countries if Russia’s invasion spread throughout Europe.
She urged viewers it was urgent not to elect Trump due to these worldwide security issues beyond just the U.S. economy.
“I don’t want to repeat all the things he’s done for Americans already. On the other hand, you have a 77-year-old criminal who only cares about getting out of jail. Okay?” she said.
“And, and I wasn’t here yesterday because all weekend I was ruminating about what he said about getting us out of NATO. I don’t think people understand what that means. You know, I saw this video of all these young MAGA guys celebrating Trump. And you know what; you guys will be drafted,” Behar said.
“You want to start up with Russian, the Russians going into Ukraine and then to Crimea and then to Poland? What’s next, France, Germany, Italy? You think Americans are not going to be involved in that kind of a war. That’s what you’re looking at with this guy.”
“This is what Putin is going to do. It is very, very urgent that we not elect this man. It’s not just about us, it’s not about just the economy, it’s about the world’s geopolitical issue,” she said.
However, Trump has long pushed for NATO members to increase defense spending as originally agreed upon.
