Its just hard for me to judge a president on a hypothetical situation he never had to deal with

Does this same exact thing happen under Trump if the same exact set of things happen? Maybe. But it didnt happen, and I just cant judge someone off something like that

What happened is what happened and I think its fair to judge our leadership on how they handle things that do actually happen. And our leadership failed spectacularly here and now theres nothing to do but sanction Russia and I doubt that does anything but stiffen Putins resolve

I have a question and I am not trying to get the same BS responses I always get, I am being serious. Did Putin expect the Ukraine to fight back or was he preparing for them to lay down their guns?

Failed at what though? At failing to convince NATO countries to not accept Ukraine? Do we really think this would stop Putin and this war? Pretty hypocritical assumption too wouldn’t you say?

The intel community was so aggressive about saying "its coming, it's coming" and jerking themselves off over it the last week that I figured it was bluster. It's strange that they broadcast the threat and we ended up in this spot. I wonder if they thought they could bluff Putin down or something.

I honestly dont know. For a change, our intelligence seems to have knocked this whole thing out of the park. They were way out infront of this

Possibly, but also to expose any claims of provocation as blatant falsehoods by Putin. It also gave the west time to plan. The sanctions came down the same day, with no dithering.
