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.

“ 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.”
+1 here. I get out of bed with pain every morning thanks to her lies. She can FOAD.
Iraqis are not Arab. And they weren’t innocent, either.
But they were not our problem and a counterbalance to Iran.

While the Russian planes remained in international air space, they entered a region beyond U.S. and Canadian sovereign air space called the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), where aircraft are expected to identify themselves.

It’s true though, isn’t it? A constant pained expression, something like a toy poodle aware it swallowed a peach pit, now residing in its lower colon, much like a little Balrog lurking in the mines of Moria ...
“You shall not pass.”
Constipated Rice.
He “seems more desperate”, but they don’t cite a behavior that indicates desperation.
Because they can read his mind lol
Ooh Rah! Blow the world up and Merica wins!!!
What a bunch of idiots... This needs to stop.

That’s part that is so hard to swallow.
The people who had their lives ruined because of her polices and faulty decision making have to live with the fallout of her feckless job performance while she flits back to Stanford to get be feted by sycophants and get rich playing off her tenure in the GW Bush White House.
Isn’t that what he listed?
April 15, 2025: Six Russian military aircraft, including two TU-95 Bear H strategic bombers, one TU-142 F/J reconnaissance and anti-submarine plane, one A-50 Mainstay early warning plane, and two Su-35 Flanker fighters, were tracked in the Alaskan ADIZ for about 2½ hours.
Yes.
I agree with your proposition that it will be interesting to see if incursions stop, but sometimes there are gaps of a year or more (going by the list provided by the other poster; I can’t find the source), so we’d really need to wait a couple of years to see its effect.
That incursion was the most recent so it will be interesting to see when or if the next one happens.
Good points. And I’ll add, since her recent comments are about Russia, Condi was Sec of State in 2008 when Russia attacked Georgia.
“I read repeatedly here, posted by Odawag and others,that if it were really Putin’s goal to win In Ukraine, he could do it in fifteen minutes.” Why would he not have done so long ago if it were indeed possible for him to win in 15 minutes there?
Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia has stated that Russia’s retaliation to the attack by Ukraine on its airbases that led to the destruction its strategic bombers. Medvedev says Zelensky’s and his regime will be eliminated and blown up and Ukraine will be defeated and destroyed. There is now panic as the world awaits Russia’s response.
She praised the ingenuity of this Ukraine strike. Clearly a supporter of keeping the war going but inserting "maybe" they will come to the table.....
[ Ukraine Frontline Changes ] COLLAPSE!!!! ANOTHER TOWN FALLS! Sumy collapse continues
You and Lindsey Graham are sick, sociopaths.
That took 18 to months to pull off.
Ukraine doesn't have 18 months of troops left.
Well said.
