If properly handled, there was absolutely no reason that the situation currently happening in Ukraine should have happened at all. I know Vladimir Putin very well, and he would have never done during the Trump Administration what he is doing now, no way! Russia has become very very rich during the Biden Administration, with oil prices doubling and soon to be tripling and quadrupling. The weak sanctions are insignificant relative to taking over a country and a massive piece of strategically located land. Now it has begun, oil prices are going higher and higher, and Putin is not only getting what he always wanted, but getting, because of the oil and gas surge, richer and richer. The U.S. was energy independent under the Trump Administration, an independence that we had never obtained before, and oil prices would have remained low. Now, what a mess our Country is in!
Yes, interesting to see what Trump has to say about Putin's actions, although this statement is from before the invasion (a couple of days ago) so you're a bit late with the news. Earlier this week, he also called the invasion preparations "genius", "smart", "wonderful" and "savvy". The long-timers on this thread won't be surprised to see him side with Russia against the US.

Russia has become very very rich? Or rich Russians have become very very rich? As you posted earlier today, the rouble has crashed. I don't think an ordinary Russian is doing well economically at the moment.

This is quite a thing for Trump to say as everything was unfolding today, live on television after he called up Fox. Has he any idea what is going on?
