You realize Chuck Todd (or as I like to call him Tuck Choad) has the I.Q. of a houseplant?

Obama's on that list of invading other countries too (Libya, Syria, etc). But, I don't think it's useful to call these world leaders irrational. I think their behavior is rational enough if you start from the premise that none of them care at all about ordinary people's lives.

You would say anything now just not to feel buyers remorse. Facts are Biden provoked a war with Russia and kids are still in cages. And so on. Shame on you Marianne!

Without provocation?

Marianne, love you, but come on. Are you really going to ignore the coup the U.S. did snd their intent to make Ukraine a proxy against Russia? Do you remember what happened with Cuba?

Do you not think Putin has had provocation? The US has been flooding Ukraine with weapons and training neo-Nazis there for years. Ukraine signed the 2014 and 2015 Minsk agreements and has been ignoring them, shelling and bombing Russian nationals. NATO has been spreading East.

Putin makes a fool out of himself. This proofs he will be remembered as one of the great genocidaire next to Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot etc. Little man, big mistakes

"Moral" and "rational"should not be conflated.

Putin warned that the issues were 'existential' for Russia, and was ignored. He put forward one rational proposal after another, and was ignored. No one should be saying disingenuously now, how 'irrational' the course he has taken is.

Without provocation!?? Really!? Have you not been listening??
