“Do you disagree that you’ve had problems bringing people into your military?” “We have problems.” “And do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” “First of all, during the war everybody has problems. Even you, but you have a nice ocean and don’t feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless —” “You don’t know that.” “God bless, you do not have war.” “Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel.” “You’re, right now, not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. And he happens to be right —” “From the very beginning of the war.” “You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards, right now. With us, you start having cards.” “We’re not playing cards.” “Right now, you don’t — you’re playing cards. You’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. You’re gambling with World War III. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country — this country — that’s backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have.” “Have you said, ‘Thank you,’ once this entire meeting? No — in this entire meeting, have you said, ‘Thank you?’ What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy. That’s what President Trump is doing.” “In 2019, I signed with him the deal. I signed with him, Macron and Merkel. We signed cease-fire. He broke the cease-fire. He killed our people, and he didn’t exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn’t do it. What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about? What do you mean?” “I’ve empowered you to be a tough guy. And I don’t think you’d be a tough guy without the United States. And your people are very brave. But you’re either going to make a deal or we’re out. And if we’re out, you’ll fight it out. I don’t think it’s going to be pretty, but you’ll fight it out. But you don’t have the cards. But once we sign that deal, you’re in a much better position. But you’re not acting at all thankful.”
