Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a Wednesday interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s behavior is growing increasingly “desperate” as his war against Ukraine continues three years after Russia’s attempted takeover of its eastern European neighbor.
“He seems to be more out of control than he used to be,” she told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade. “He was always an imperialist, but there is something about him now that seems almost more desperate in wanting to extinguish Ukraine.”

“It shows that the Ukrainians are very advanced in what they are doing in their defense industry with the building of these drones and an employment strategy for them,” she told Kilmeade. “Hopefully, they can get a ceasefire, but this also shows that the Ukrainians can hold at risk things that Putin cares about, and that more than anything will eventually get him to the table.”

“It is an incredible intelligence coup,” she said. “Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly now wondering whether there was an inside job.”
“You’re probably going to see a witch hunt in Russia as he tries to figure out who did this inside,” she added.

Gee my exact thoughts about Graham and Blumenthal.
Retaliation is expected. No surprise.

Who cares what that 2 time OBAMA voter says
Coming from such a successful statesman.
“...but it’s being overcome by that other Putin who still thinks he can extinguish Ukraine,” she added.”
The professor wants to throw out a new verb, it is so professorial - extinguish - to describe Russian objectives. She always did get on my nerves.
I saw a Congressional hearing where she sat alongside Rumsfield and she came out with her usual nonsense. Rumsfield looked over at her, livid, and I thought he would bitch slap her to the floor.
If that were really Putin’s goal, he could do it in fifteen minutes.
I don’t know why people in the United States are so jubilant over the drone attack when it is being planned (by CIA proxies) in the United States to attack targets in the United States, thanks to the millions of illegals Biden imported into the country.
Classy lady. Her dream job was to be NFL commissioner but in being a republican that was a show stopper. Instead we get a wokester in Godell.
With her in charge the thugocracy would have never become a problem.
No Russian bomber air incursions over Alaska again today. What happened to the bombers?
Neocon Witch who lied to get me to go to Iraq says what?
She always looks like she’s trying to stifle a fart.
Plenty of subs with SLBMs off the coast of LA and NY. The lion may be dead but the pack of hyenas remains.
Vaht?! Nyet - Putin stronk like bear. Ricelady wronk. Former Soviet Russia crush Ukraina like small bug. Kyev fall tomorrow!
History has shown that she was a bit of a disaster as both National Security Advisor and Sec of State under GW Bush. She totally screwed up Iraq and she set the stage for Obama to do the same in Afghanistan
A lot of very good men and women died or received horrific, life changing injuries thanks to the policies that she is responsible for putting in place
Based on her past track record, I'm really not that interested in her opinion.
Too early to say; they seem to happen every six months or so with some gaps of years.
