Ask yourself this, though, why did Russia wait until Trump was out of office to go after Ukraine? If Trump was so friendly with Putin, he would have wanted to invade while Trump was in office so he wouldn't have to fear any retaliation.

Not sure why anyone would blame a "vegetable" for anything.

And Putin didn't exactly wait. He invaded in 2014 and seized the Crimea.


Let's flip the question.

Obviously, Putin does have to fear retaliation if Biden is in office. B's got NATO and the EU behind him now. And sanctions are on.

So why would Putin invade now, when the US has a president ready to respond? 

Perhaps there are other factors figuring into Putin's decision, not covered by Tucker and Hannity?
