rather than wait for toe tenlly what russia may do on the ground? i disagree with the president waiving to allow putin to build his pipeline into europe, cutting off u.s. exports into owed des is a and the black sea. it only emboldened putin and made russia dependent on dirty engine. by the way, our lng is more clean from a climate change standpoint. these are all projections of weakness that i disagreed with at the time. i think it s emboldened putin. he s got to make the calculation, is this the right time to do it. you re very aware a big part of putin s strategy is straight-up propaganda. it s been notable to see some in this country repeat, frankly, some of russia s arguments about ukraine. i want to play something that tucker carlson said last night regarding putin and russia s view of ukraine. have a listen.
