Moronic statement. No one forced Putin to invade Ukraine.
I’m waiting for news footage of anything happening there; the cable networks are all on the same page, with their “reporters” wearing plastic paintball helmets posing in front of various Ukraine backgrounds - but there are no explosions, antiaircraft fire, etc. in the background (as we saw in the Gulf War).
We’ll see what happens; Putin’s gripe is as legitimate as ours with the Cuban Missile Crisis (and we compromised - no
Soviet missiles in Cuba, and none of ours in Turkey). As part of relinquishing control of the various Soviet republics, none were to join NATO (we agreed to that).
“Moronic statement. No one forced Putin to invade Ukraine.”
Sweet talked him in to it.
Made it worth his while.
