Russia invaded Ukraine 11 years ago and has killed tens of thousands of civilians since -- I don't believe Russia has once said it made a mistake about anything.

Remember all the hand-wringing in the Biden administration about how each step to help Ukraine defend itself would lead to escalation?

The new President is now aligning with Russia and warning Ukraine it “won’t even have a country left.”

Let’s see which tactic leads to “escalation”

I feel like at this point they can make a nice gated community for deposed tyrants in Moscow’s suburbs.

Tucker knows, of course, that if there’s a “safeguard” it isn’t “Russian restraint” but that Washington has nuclear weapons too.
