A maximum of 3 million only in the USA
[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2667447]You were right but it was an easy pick. 225 million Americans know Biden is to blame. And everyone knows Obama did nothing to stop Putin. 75 million socialist idiots aren't smart enough to see how Biden screwed up everything and will probably blame Trump who actually kept Putin in check.[/QUOTE]I have not heard one person in either Russia, Ukraine or in any other country outside of the USA, civilian or pol, blame Biden for Putin's astonishingly stupid move except for Trump, the FUX News Channel clowns and their America-hating cult followers.
Not one.
And at last count 3-4 million was the highest number of viewers for FUX News Channel's highest rated clown circus ring of liars.
That Would Have Been A Very Dumb Move
[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2667331]Didn't you just see Biden last press conference. Sanctions should have been put on Russia weeks ago to deter them. Biden did nothing and Russia invaded Ukraine. Biden and congress put sanctions on to late and now Biden says let's wait a month and see what happens. Basically do nothing like Obama did last time. Biden is a joke to society and the Putin and the world are laughing at him.[/QUOTE]To have enacted sanctions "weeks ago" before Putin made a move would have been falling right into Putin's obvious trap and fueled his publicly proclaimed lamebrain, fabricated reasons for invading Ukraine:
"Waa waaaa everybody is so mean to poor widdle me Putin! Look! Now that bad ol' Biden is imposing sanctions for doing nothing! Enemies, enemies everywhere. Got to invade Ukraine now to strengthen our position against Russia's enemies always picking on me"!
You haven't been paying attention. Thank god, Biden and his team have been.
In fact, everything Biden and our intel predicted Putin would do, they got it right, including his repeated false flag, made up attacks on him that forced him to pull this shit.
To have punished him for doing something. Before he did it would have been the only fairly genuine claim that "those bad ol' putty tats started it" on the world stage.
Dumb, dumb, dumb idea.
Putin Could Not Afford To Wait Another Year While Biden Was Making Dramatic Gains
[QUOTE=Xpartan;2667542]Bingo! Putin also might've calculated that the Orange Fart would not return to the White House in 2024. So, no reason to wait.[/QUOTE]The other great risk in waiting that Putin could not afford to take was every year of democratic success in Ukraine was another year closer to Zelensky considering joining NATO.
And all while Putin was witnessing Joe Biden strengthening, unifying and making joining the Western Alliance / NATO a more attractive option for Freedom-loving democracies around the world by the day than all the efforts by Putin and fellow democracy-hating, dictatorship-loving Trump had achieved in the opposite direction over the previous four years.
Trump did his best to smooth the way in those 4 years but was not going to be in the White House at crunch time, thanks to Joe Biden and the patriotic Americans who voted for him.
Putin would not dare invade NATO member Ukraine or any other member or he'd get his ass kicked on day one.
Meanwhile, he was watching the meager gains made by Trump to smooth the way for overthrowing more democracies around the world slipping away by the hour.
Time was of the essence here.
