I'm trying to figure out why the dumb question was asked. Putin invaded. We know this. Any attempt at deterrence obviously failed. It's just the obvious served up as red meat.Did he mentioned what he thought would have worked?
Not any attempt at deterrence, just the BIden attempt. The one he now claims wasn't meant to deter.I'm trying to figure out why the dumb question was asked. Putin invaded. We know this. Any attempt at deterrence obviously failed. It's just the obvious served up as red meat.
If Putin is a war criminal why isn't Biden?
You'd rather already be in a shooting war in Europe?Biden has been attempting to turn abject failure into some kind of political victory but the truth has a way of coming out and in this cesspool administration the shit is rising to the surface.
"You as a combatant commander felt that you were part of an inter-agency effort intended to deter Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine?"
That's correct," Wolters responded. "Deter and dissuade."
"Would it be fair to say that deterrence failed in Ukraine?" Gallagher pressed.
"I can't argue with your conclusion," Wolters finished.

Based on what?Biden told Putin at the outset go ahead and invade Ukraine but just not too much. A second Russian genocide of Ukraine quickly ensued. If Putin is a war criminal why isn't Biden?
Biden's stupid decision was thinking threats of sanctions and diplomacy would stop Putin. Now he stupidly decides to deny those tactics were meant to dissuade which is saying he did nothing to dissuade. How stupid is that?If Putin’s stunningly stupid decision to invade Ukraine reflects poorly on anyone, surely it’s Joe Biden.
Do you work at Fox? Your headlines are as misleading as theirs are.Biden has been attempting to turn abject failure into some kind of political victory but the truth has a way of coming out and in this cesspool administration the shit is rising to the surface.

Right, it's all Joe Biden's fault that Putin thought he could win.Biden has been attempting to turn abject failure into some kind of political victory but the truth has a way of coming out and in this cesspool administration the shit is rising to the surface.

"Admits"?
@Chainsawmassacre
I think it's painfully obvious that Russia was not deterred, seeing as they did in fact invade and we've all known it since they did it. Where does the partisan compulsion come from to turn that into "commander admits"? Nobody called the invasion "fake news."
And on the counterfactual side of the coin, we also all know that had Trump been president you would be calling the invasion fake news. You'd be parroting the "just cleaning up nazis" propaganda and anything else Carlson/Hannity ordered you to say on Trump's behalf.
It must really burn your ass knowing that we were right about Trump all along, and that Biden has performed far better than Trump did and would have done.
Biden could not have "stopped" Putin because Putin is engaged in a war of conquest. He wants Ukraine and thought he could have it...in fact, have it easily. Biden had no tools with which to stop Putin from attempting this madness. The only things that would have prevented Putin's invasion was:Mi

What a cultist sort of comment using a hypothetical to make your argument. Seems sort of strange coming from someone who considers himself the debate Politics intellect.
WTF are you talking about? If anyone attempted to deter Putin; Biden, NATO, anyone, they obviously failed. Because...wait for it...WE ALREADY KNOW PUTIN INVADED.Not any attempt at deterrence, just the BIden attempt. The one he now claims wasn't meant to deter.

90% of your stuff is pre canned. Am I wrong?See? They even run here to try to save this idiotic disaster of a thread with the usual canned bullshit.
Arming Ukraine to the teeth with stingers and Javelin missiles along with saying we had Ukraine's back before and during diplomatic efforts would have been negotiating from a position of strength instead of weakness. "Pausing" weapons to Ukraine along with his minor incursion remark gave Putin incentive to invade.Biden could not have "stopped" Putin because Putin is engaged in a war of conquest. Biden had no tools with which to stop Putin from attempting this madness. The only things that would have prevented Putin's invasion was:
- a clear understanding of the actual capabilities of his own military assets
- a clear understanding of Ukrainian fighting spirit and desire to resist him
Biden dropped the ball on this one. " Elections have consequences " as we all now see.Right, it's all Joe Biden's fault that Putin thought he could win.
Lol.
