SOTU Address: Biden made Ukraine sound like a flippin victory speech

"We shouldn't ignore what happened in the run up to Putin's invasion—waving sanctions on Russian pipelines while eliminating oil production here at home...weakness on the world stage has a cost."

Yep. Everything was too little too late. Especially the missiles. And even then' we are still buying Russian oil.

The missiles were what caused the invasion.

Are you talking about the Javelins Trump gave them? Or the $60M of Javelins that Biden gave them in June 2022 in response to Russia mobilizing troops on Ukraine's borders? That's bull chit either way. Here's the real reason.

Yes, both. That too. You gotta understand there's literally no downside for Putin in this.

Unbelievably naive take, imo. Putin clearly has wanted Ukraine under the Russian boot all along. He was just waiting for the right time, and the right feckless president to make his move.

Sure but what kicked it off was the last straw of missiles.

Putin has been gradually invading the Ukraine since 2014. Blaming that on things that have occurred since then is crazy.
