Chris Christie Says What We're All Thinking Of Trump Calling Putin 'Savvy'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) lambasted Donald Trump’s praise of the Russian invasion of Ukraine last week, saying history was watching despite the former president’s repeated comments about Vladimir Putin being a “genius” who had been “smart” about the ruthless assault.

“How can anyone with any understanding of the world call Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine ‘genius’ and ‘very savvy’ as we watch him unite the rest of the world against Russia in nearly an instant?” Christie asked Monday on Twitter. He went on to say that Putin has two choices now: an “unwinnable occupation of Ukraine” or a “humiliating retreat.”

“Yeah, that’s ‘genius’ and ‘very savvy’ alright,” Christie wrote.

When even a right-wing POS like Christie has to call out your bullshit, you know it's some real serious bullshit.

by saying Putin was acquiring an enormous amount of real estate for "two bucks worth of sanctions". That's how he looked at "the deal".

losing is only being cheated because you are the best. Win win! Putin may differ on that however.
