“Also don’t see anything from the State Department giving Russia the go”
I was wrong on this. Biden saying a “minor incursion” into Ukraine might be OK was said his 2 hour press conference. Biden was tired (my guess) and expressed his true thoughts.
I am sure Putin and his gang paid close attention to Biden’s remarks, and took this as giving them the green light to invade Ukraine.
“I am sure Putin and his gang paid close attention to Biden’s remarks, and took this as giving them the green light to invade Ukraine.”
Like I said, Russia would have pointed to that statement as their green light, but they didn’t. Russia was quite honest about their invasion - no false flags, no denying it, no blaming it on a Western move, or even a Ukrainian move - they went in, and simply stated that they went in!
