Obama says Putin has changed since he was in office
CNN YouTube Channel ^ | April 7, 2022 | CNN

Posted on 04/07/2022 12:19:08 PM PDT by Widget Jr

Former President Barack Obama spoke at length about the war in Ukraine, telling an audience in Chicago that the conflict is a "bracing reminder for democracies that had gotten flabby and confused and feckless around the stakes of things that we tended to take for granted," including the United States. Obama also addressed his recollections of Vladimir Putin and how he isn't sure "that the person I knew is the same as the person who is now leading this charge."

11 Minute video. Obama is asked what he thinks about Putin and the invasion of Ukeraine, given his experience and gives a 7 minute non-answer.

CNN is in full spin. Obongo said Putin would not invade when he was President, in other words Biden is a hapless moron who no one respects.

I think Putin owns biden and so does china. They know it. Guessing obama knows it also. China and russia likely helped on the steal and in return are owed things. Putin Probly got his pipeline and ukraine. Who knows what china got. I know biden just took tariffs off of the goods Trump put on. We know biden is compromised.

Obama told putin he’d be more flexible after the election. Hillary sold putin uranium. Now putin is the devil according to people who got millions of dollars from ukraine.

The left loves their war propaganda.

One of my morning squeezins talked to me from the toilet bowl this morning.

Impressed me just as much as anything this POS has to say.

Yeah, riiiiight.

The Muslim eunuch quota baby has perfect lying to almost a Clinton level. However, even the Clintons, sleazy as they are, probably deserved their college grades.

I think some aspects of Putin changed. He became bolder, more daring, more defiant, but the old KGB in him and his hatred of the west didn’t. It was dormant for three decades. In Biden he saw an opening and with time to build his legacy, it came out in full force.

Oh puleeze!
Didn't Putin invade and capture the Crimea in Ukraine when Obama/Biden were in power in 2014? As they continue to occupy the Crimea up to today?

Obama has changed since he was in office too. He was a freeloader who didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of until he was elected. Now he’s a multimillionaire.

That hot mic says it all. Why would anyone be stupid enough to say that?
