I think the Russian strategy was to send in the conscripts and older hardware first hoping that Ukraine would use up all their defensive weapons on them. I am afraid the real war is just beginning now and will be very brutal.

Putin has been rumored to be a pretty intelligent guy. I have a feeling you’re correct and he’s got a few tricks up his sleeves.

I don't know about the troops, but he certainly has nastier weaponry/tactics in his arsenal.

I gotta say at least CNN has been largely watchable again over the last three days. No idea on MSNBC since I refuse to chose that channel for one second still.

Agreed. This is the most I have watched CNN in 20+ years. So far, they've had the best coverage imo.

Not even really watching the news, just videos from people who are there. This whole thing has been unfortunate for me to watch since I have Russian and Ukrainian friends. My friend in Kyiv luckily made it to Poland the other day, but she is worried about her friends and if she'll have a home to go back to. One of my Russian friends wrote me this morning saying she went ahead and pulled money out of the bank. Sent me a voice message of her family arguing in Russian about it all. lol Her family is split. The mother likes Russia, the father and her both don't like Putin though. The father at one point was saying Putin's probably sitting in a bunker right now and then my friend said,"He's in a bunker even when there isn't a war.".

'The real problem is that our leaders are dumb': Trump blasts Biden over Putin's invasion of Ukraine boasting that it wouldn't have happened on his watch - as he teases a 2024 run

Former President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden over Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, boasting onstage at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday night that the deadly assault wouldn't have happened on his watch.

He also riled up the crowd by almost immediately teasing a 2024 presidential run.

'I stand as the only president of 21st century on whose watch Russia did not invade,' Trump bragged. 'I have no doubt Putin made his decisoin to ruthlessly invade Ukraine after watching pathetic withdrawl from Afghanistan.'

'The problem is not that Putin is smart, of course he's smart, but the real problem is that our leaders are dumb,' Trump said.

Trump also immediately teased another presidential run.

Savoring the size of the CPAC crowd, Trump talked about his movement and suggested his supporters would vote Republicans back in power, warning Democrats it's a 'sleeping giant they have awoken.'

'On November 2024 they will find out like never before,' he told the crowd.

'We did it twice and we'll do it again,' he added, alluding to the so-called 'big lie.'

Early on, Trump gave a shout-out to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's facing criticism after speaking before a white nationalist conference Friday. She spoke at CPAC earlier Saturday.

Trump said he was 'praying for the proud people of Ukraine' and expressed admiration for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a 'brave man.'

'God bless them, they are indeed brave, as everyone understand this horrific disaster would never have happened if our election was not rigged and if I was president,' he said.

Trump's first impeachment involved a call the ex-president made to the Ukrainian leader in July 2019. The president was accused of holding up military aid to Ukraine to push Zelensky to announce investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden.

'I was with Putin a lot, I spent a lot of time with him, I got along with him,' Trump also offered. 'It's a good thing to get along with people, it's not a bad thing,' the ex-president protested.

'It would have been so easy for me to stop this travesty from happening,' Trump continued. 'He understood me, he understood I didn't play games.'
