Meh. Given that Obama, Biden, Clinton, and Kerry were the catalyst for this war, it makes sense that Putin’s actions would have looked different in 2014.

Didn’t our foreign policy for 25 years lead up to this conflict in Ukraine ?

How many times did Putin say the expansion of NATO was a threat?

Who kept promoting Ukraine to NATO?

Everyone but Trump

Yup.

He went on a 90-120 second rant about how fricking shite Biden was.


Here's the transcript of that part:
quote:

Putin: And in the end, I would like to add one more thing.

I'd like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague, it should not- the situation should not be brought to the point of no return, when it would come to hostilities and accept it quite directly back then, that is a big mistake.

Today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then, there would be no war, and I'm quite sure that it would indeed be so. I can confirm that.

I think that overall, me and President Trump have built a very good business-like and trustworthy contact, and have every reason to believe that moving down this path, we can come and assume it better to the end of the conflict in Ukraine. Thank you. Thank you.

Trump has many shortcomings, but none so bad as Biden and the Obama holdovers than ran DC in that administration. Easily the worst of my lifetime.

Joe Biden was the person that prevented him easily marching into Kiev within a week after the war started


The main reason they couldn't get to Kiev was that they were so incompetent with logistics the convoys ran out of fuel.

The revisionist history to make Biden's administration seem slightly more competent than junior high student council is laughable.
