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.”

So you can tell that Putin miscalculated after 2 days but couldn’t tell that Bush miscalculated after 10 years in Iraq. Best and brightest? Really?

If the Commie Brennan says something, assume the opposite is accurate.

Right...that's why they can't get out of town fast enough.

I think Brennan is one rotten ba*****.

"don’t understand why Breitbart would publish a story based on his comments."

Because Breitbart is as much a shill for the establishment as is CNN and Fox.

An islamist, a traitor, and a Communist walk into a bar.

The bartender says, “the usual, Mr Brennan?”

I’m more interested in Cardi-B’s take on Ukraine.

This dirtbag should be rotting in Gitmo.

No...because the damn war between Russians and Ukrainians has gone on for almost 8 years...since the coup that crowned The Chocolate King president of Ukraine. No person on earth hated Russians more than the Chocolate King and he was corrupt as they come. He wanted no Russian spoken and no Russian taught in school.

He was a hate monger.

No doubt Zelenski was a welcome change...but it was too late. The Ukrainians have been twisting in the wind. I'll bet everyone of them has a Russian relative and/or friend in both Russia and Ukraine. They're Ukraine and Russian at the same time. Difficult on the heart.

Two days in and Russia is in Kiev.

Small amounts of civilian deaths.

Most Russian forces are non involved.

“Miscalculation” is not what I am seeing. They are moving very carefully to keep damage small and light. Hell, if the US did this we would erase a few towns just getting started!

If Brennan is tasked with doing damage control, then things must be polling pretty badly for the Dems.

No. That pile of feces has absolutely no moral or political authority to even show his face.
