I find it adorable all these wannabe strategists who think they know exactly what could have or should have been done.
Once Putin decided he was taking Ukraine, he was taking Ukraine. Neither Trump nor Biden would have deterred him for the simple reason the US has made it clear they aren’t risking nuclear war unless it’s a NATO country being attacked.
To claim Trump did deter him because he didn’t do it on Trump’s watch is ridiculous hindsight analysis.
