I saw that exchange. It felt awkwardly tense.
People are tired of the Left making Russia out to be a bogeyman. Understandable.
But Ms. Griffin is correct not to make light of Putin’s actions.
The Ukraine invasion took place eight years ago when Brandon was Vice President.
Maybe.
She brings up Chechnya. If I’m not mistaken that was Putin fighting Muslim terrorists, wasn’t it? The same breed that took over a school in Beslan and the theater.
Ukraine isn’t a Muslim terrorist stronghold.
Didn’t they report the other day that the Russians were pulling back from the border?
Oh I don’t think Russia is a boogeyman, they are certainly more than willing to invade a country to their own ends...
However, I just don’t see the ends here.... Russia doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO, fair enough... but does it really need to invade to keep that from happening?
Saber rattling or serious threat? Or, trumped up distraction??
The same folks saying invasion is imminent are the ones that claimed Trump was going to cause nuclear ware with NK.... and they wonder why no one trusts them....
Agree with the first part, not so much the last part.
Nobody was making light of the situation, just questioning the validity of the reporting by media and updates being release by this administration. Remember, the same people providing intel on the Ukraine situation are the same people who totally miss-read...or just missed...the intel on the Afghanistan situation. We’re supposed to just take THEIR word for it? I don’t think so.
Agree. Jennifer Griffin has always been a straight shooter. She reports the facts, doesn’t add her own spin and let’s people make up their own minds. Generally speaking, I respect her as a legit journalist, one of the few left these days.
With all that said, I do hope and pray all this Russian invasion speculation is really Putin punking Biden.
My fear is Biden is desperate enough to gain some legitimacy by starting a war with Russia and getting our best and brightest killed.
Shit show Joe is on a fools errand here.
I saw it too. Very awkward. She has been quick to defend Biden and actually said “Americans left behind in Afghanistan was a lie.” She can’t pick her truths.
