This is just ridiculous. Putin had already invaded 2 countries with little to no repercussion, this was inevitable and has nothing to do with Jan 6th
I think it's more a function of Nov 2020.We'll never know the answer to that question. Personally, I think Jan 6 had a significant impact on Putin's decision to attack Ukraine. I think Jan 6 emboldened Putin.
Putin saw the despicable insurrection attempt on the U.S. Capitol and how a U.S. political party (i.e. the Republican Party) has given up on democracy. He saw how 147 members of the Republican Party tried to overthrow a duly elected President, with no evidence of voter fraud.
Putin saw a weakened America on Jan 6 where democracy is struggling to survive. In my opinion, Jan 6 helped make the invasion of Ukraine a gamble worth taking for Putin.
Jan 6 alone doesn't seem like a factor. But it is an example of the general division in the US that Putin takes advantage of.
Which countries are you referring to? Crimea has been disputed territory forever. Attacking Ukraine is a whole different game.

That is the appeasement line, good job remembering it. Russia also invaded Georgia
Indeed. Of the top 200 reasons Putin used to justify the Ukraine invasion, Jan 6 was in the high 180s.We'll never know the answer to that question. Personally, I think Jan 6 had a significant impact on Putin's decision to attack Ukraine. I think Jan 6 emboldened Putin.

Roughly reason 187-188ish ... give or take.
Too late. I already have.You can't rule that out.
Well let's be totally honest here - the only reason Putin is attacking the Ukraine is because Trump asked him to after failing in his treasonous, traitorous, seditious, not-at-all-funny coup d-etat of the Capitol with his massive army of white supremacists, agrarian deplorables, and disillusioned soccer moms; that and Biden gave him the nod (as told), in exchange for consideration for Hunter and thanks for fixing the election, and Nancy Pelosi couldn't be reached because she was getting a facelift (without a mask), and AOC received assurances she'd get several hundred barrels of her special "Russki Red" lipstick for a nod in Putin's favor.
I mean seriously, what the frell is the premise of this inane thread in the first place? "Putin bad. Republicans worse?"
Oh come on! If we can't blame this on Trump then we're simply not doing our job as Americans.This is just ridiculous. Putin had already invaded 2 countries with little to no repercussion, this was inevitable and has nothing to do with Jan 6th
True, given how well Trump stood up to Putin, Vlad wouldn’t have crossed Donald.I think it's more a function of Nov 2020.

No, I don't believe that for an instant.You don't think Putin saw a weakened U.S. on Jan 6 and that he is taking advantage of that right now?
That's the point of this thread.
I think it has more to do with the current President of Ukraine. The instability in the US political realm which he helped orchestrate is a smaller reason.We'll never know the answer to that question.

The only thing that would give anyone a reason to believe the US is somehow weakened is the current administration and its doddering old "leader."
To be clear - you're calling me insane?Well, I see you are part of the insane right. Never mind.
What would a more united United States be doing that Putin would be afraid of? I imagine he considers it a nice bit of icing on the cake that Trump, Carlson and all the rest are praising him up while painting Ukraine as a cesspool of corruption ruled by the Biden Crime Family... but I can't see it changing a whole lot were American politics more normal.Jan 6 alone doesn't seem like a factor. But it is an example of the general division in the US that Putin takes advantage of.

He would still be invading much like the other countries but your question isnt unfounded. Russia has been trying to destabilize NATO for years what better way to do that?We'll never know the answer to that question.
