He believed the USA would pull his chestnuts out of the fire. He thought all that money he paid Hunter and others would buy him some protection—He thought wrong. Should have made a deal with Putin. Now Putin also overstepped his invasion. He under rated Ukraine ability to fight and paid a high price. He should have limited the invasion to a “small incursion” as Biden directed him. This is a mess and we should stay out—Is it worth all the problems of a wider war? If we send in the troops and enforce a “No Fly Zone” on our own would that work? Could we fly out of German bases—if NATO was involved? Need a “False Flag” event to get NATO to help in our WW III march on Moscow.
He thought that he was dealing with an “honest politician”.... A politician who stays bought. RATs are as treacherous as they come and throw each other under the bus with great enthusiasm.
