| NYT reporter suggests Putin didn't take military action under Trump because he was unpredictable |
| 2022-02-24 |
| [FOX] The New York Times' chief White House correspondent said Wednesday on MSNBC it was "a good question" of why Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in the military operation in Ukraine under the Biden administration, and not under Trump. Former President Trump said Tuesday that Putin's aggressive actions in Ukraine would never have happened while he was president. "I know [Putin] very well. Very, very well [and] ... this never would have happened ... had I been in office, not even thinkable," Trump said. New York Times reporter Peter Baker said, "[Trump] said yesterday ’this wouldn’t have happened when I was president,’ or somehow he was too tough ... It is a good question whether President Trump was volatile enough that President Putin didn’t know how he would react to, you know, something more aggressive in Ukraine." |

| #8 I do wonder if all of the Trump is a crazy warmonger nonsense from the left gave Putin the idea that maybe there is something he doesn't understand/know about Trump. |

| #7 NYT reporter suggests Putin didn't take military action under Trump because he was unpredictable A feature, not a bug. However, being the NYTs, it might have been a criticism of Trump. |

| #6 How about a mandate to send every journalist to Ukraine to report on the batlles. Too bad the battles won't last much longer. |

| #2 They said the same thing about Ronald Reagan. Unpredictable. Not a potato like Biden or commie-symp like Barry Soetoro |

| #1 Don't forget, that under Trump we were a energy exporter and not buying Russian oil. We set the price of a barrel, not the outside world. That's called having them by the balls. |
