of Putin saying Ukrainians would welcome Russian troops with open arms and the 'liberation' of Ukraine would only take 3 days.

Both Trump and Putin are experts at double talk.
Basically . . . believe me when I lie to you, don't look at what I'm doing.

It's horrible and disgusting that they needed to do this because of the rotten person who is our president constantly talking about how the U.S. needs and "will get" their country. It probably won't change his mind, but the rest of our country and the world will (hopefully) see this and get a clue that they absolutely don't want to be part of this dysfunctional dystopian authoritarian country. My Danish and German relatives are totally appalled and frightened by what is happening here.
