“It has led him to engage in activities in Crimea and Georgia and other countries that had been part of the Soviet Union … This time, he made a mistake and jumped on a country that was large enough and had enough spirit and enough intensity and willingness to defend themselves. They have chosen to fight back aggressively and they have held off literally a fifth of a million Russian troops now for days and days and days.”
-
“But they need to remember, this is not Vietnam, this is not Afghanistan, this is not Iraq. Ukrainians were invaded by Putin, by the Russian military. They didn’t start this war. They are fighting for themselves, we don’t have combat troops on the ground in the Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting, and, dying, for themselves. It’s hard not to support the underdog when the bully comes to destroy them.”
