Brennan: Putin ‘Badly Miscalculated’ on Ukraine Invasion
Breitbart ^ | 02/25/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/25/2022 6:59:31 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Russian President Vladimir Putin “badly miscalculated” when he invaded Ukraine.

Brennan said, “I think it’s a combination of, he has now his own prism of looking at the world and Ukraine. Also, I think he has badly miscalculated because I don’t think he has anticipated the consequences and the reaction inside Ukraine, where nationalism runs strong and deep. So I do believe that what we’re going to be seeing in the coming days and weeks is going to be fierce, fierce Ukrainian resistance to this. Even though the Ukrainian people, I think, were surprised and shocked by this, I think they are going to demonstrate the resilience of a national force basically that is going to oppose this Russian effort to subjugate and occupy their country.”

Even this guy is correct...who cares as far as he is concerned? He has zero credibility and it would be the broken clock issue - don’t understand why Breitbart would publish a story based on his comments.

Only an ineigible marxist muslim usurper would appoint a marxist muslim as CIA Director.

Get back to be made when he is giving his first prison interview.

We can only hope this prediction is accurate. Brennan is hardly the first person with this analysis.

Maybe because at the same time Trump is called Putin “smart” and a “genius”

100% Grade A BS, from the guys who specializes in 100% Grade A BS.

To be clear, I hope the Ukrainians are holding their own. But I don’t trust anything coming from Brennan.

I've been seeing reporting on Fox News that people close to Putin have said that "something has changed" about him recently. They say this as if to suggest that he's acting now for his "legacy" to rebuild the fallen Soviet Union.

If it's true that Putin's demeanor has changed, then why? Could it be that he's been recently diagnosed with an incurable illness? What could cause him to act so rashly, so suddenly, and without regard to what the rest of the world thinks?

Is it more than just Biden in the White House? Does Putin feel that his time is running out for some reason?

Putin is going to go in Kiev and then install the puppet and leave. Cease fire will permit the Russian soldiers to be stationed at military bases for “peacekeeping”. Ukraine will be a “neutral” nation. It will return to the Russian orbit just like Belarus and Kazakhstan.

I will hereby state that I too am personally ashamed that John Brennen is a white man in America.

What a silly lame pile of dirt and garbage he is.

That might be it. Republicans will return to power in Congress so they will toughen U.S. resolve. Putin may have calculated "it's now or never" so he went for it.

Bummer.
If Brennan said Putin miscalculated, the opposite must be true.
