We might as well buy Trump a set of pom poms so he can dress the part of Putin's cheerleader. This was our choice in the last election, Putin's cheer leader vs. a weak minded, feeble old man that has no clue what to do in a crisis. How did we get to this point? Putin would've never done this if we had a leader like Ronald Reagan.

What do you expect from the man? He's not cheering Putin. He's cheering himself. The dude is a narcissist, and you guys constantly fail to apply it when it makes the most sense. Trump is butthurt that everyone called him Putin's lackey, even though he had tougher sanctions on Russia and Putin didn't try this mess with Trump in office. Now Putin does what he wants while Biden does nothing. Narcissists gonna narcissist, bro. Maybe this dude wouldn't get any attention on the political stage if the media did it's job.

They are one in the same. Putin didn't do this when Trump was in office, because he was Putin's lackey. He was always and still does, compliment Putin every chance he gets. He loves the way Putin does whatever he wants without backlash from the people, media or opposing politicians. He wishes he had that same power here in the U.S. You know as well as I do, that if Trump had the power to make his detractors "disappear" or be arrested and imprisoned indefinitely as Putin does, he'd do it in a heartbeat. 

Putin heard all of the chest thumping Biden was doing during the campaign regarding Russia and he was gonna make sure Biden was in office when he made this move. He knew Biden is all talk and would fold like a metal chair when a real crisis occurred. Sanctions do nothing. Putin knows he has the backing of the Chinese. Sanctions are useless and he knows Biden and NATO don't have the balls to fight back unless they absolutely have to. This tyrant is gonna try to reform the Soviet Union and he's gonna get very little resistance.
