White House: Putin 'Improvising' Ukraine Strategy, Was Not Prepared For U.S. Intel



White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “improvising” and “adapting” his strategy in Ukraine. Officials believe Putin was surprised by the amount of intelligence and information that the U.S. had gathered about Russia’s threat to Ukraine, and was not prepared for the Biden administration to make so much of that information public.

  1. This all hunters fault!!! Putin knows biden is stupid

  2. The entire Free World will sit back and witness this COWARDLY INVASION OF MURDER by the Cowardly Comrade Putin.

    Why? Because the foremost military Powers will never, not ever, do battle with Flaccid Vlad and fudgepacking pal, Xi Jinping.

    Condemnations and TEMPORARY financial discomforts are a fruitless, meaningless, and cowardly approach with murderers.

    Ukraine will be no more. No thanks to NATO, the EU, USA, and Canada. The UN? Please, that has been a mute entity for years.

  3. Sorry, Jen.
    True as that may be, none of this seems to matter to 'Flaccid Vlad' since the entire Free World is okay with watching the show from afar.

  4. bravery to Ukraine
    The opponent wants to fight quickly to win quickly
    Don't give them satisfaction
    Let's get them bogged down
    someone with nuclear weapons?
    Let's use it
    it will explode as soon as the button is pressed

    Nuclear weapons were born to prevent war

    It's not a toy to scare friendly neighbors

  5. Putin is Improvising this? really? Because it looks pretty organized and thought out to me. Especially since Putin has been openly talking about reunifying the Soviet Union for 20 yrs. But sure, he is “improvising.”

  6. All I hear when she tries to speak is uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh,uh, uh, uhm, uh.

  7. Do you think Putin is concerned about being held accountable by the USA when we can’t even hold our leaders accountable for inciting riots and attempting a coup? We’re a laughingstock.

  8. (Empire of lies or 4th Reich) Evil cabal's Deep State corrupt criminal terrorist regime… failed to genocide Russian people in Donbass and Lugansk region… Finally, Thank you Mr. Putin God bless you

  9. Narcissistic, sociopathic, homicidal maniac strikes Ukraine is now a prosecutable War Criminal under international law.

  10. GAWD!!! How I wish I could just “blink” & time travel 4 years ahead-to all these DemoCRAP Idiots off the podium & OUT of the White House!
    Instead, of our “waiting” for it!!😵‍💫

  11. Nato is non alliance terrorists organization.. shame on biden and boris

  12. Yes, he was prepared for it. It's why they fed false i formation that the WH kept reporting.

  13. Quick and decisive, quick and decisive. Not sure what Biden meant by that, but that seems to be how he is destroying the U.S. I would imagine not any ammo on the shelves these days.

  14. Countdown until the left starts blaming the invasion of Ukraine on Trump in: 3… 2… 1…

  15. I think Putin will save the cities and destroy all military assets in the Ukraine, then after short occupation, return to the Donbass regions, and maybe stay in Odessa and Maricopa, to secure a land bridge between Donbass and the Crimea, after he has killed all of the Azov Battalion, and the foreign fighters.

  16. Lmao the U.S. is such a joke. The U.S. has said that anything can happen and then say we told you so😂🤣

  17. My Respect for USA has gone really down. First Afghanistan and now Ukraine…….

  18. Blinky is being weak. VERY WEAK USA IS WEAK AND BIDEN IS THE WORSE PRESIDENT IN THE WORLD AND VERY WEAK

  19. Pstupid psighed “of course, Putin just keeps laughing at Brandon’s blunders”

  20. Joe is lost somewhere, he’s being looked after.

  21. USA screwed up properly… they crossed the red line… face the consequences now.

  22. Shout out to George Floyd on 639 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  23. I think putin not stupid..he has more knowledge about military

  24. Honestly, pushing Ukraine to join NATO is nothing else, but confronting Russia or declaration of war against Russia🤔 The World should have to 👣💪🔄💪 Constructive peace talks between 🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺, or prepare for the worst 🤔

  25. Stay out of it. This benefits the American people in what way? Besides higher gas prices and worsening inflation this risks a nuclear war and I assure you the majority of the American people would rather this administration fix things at home first and address the border rather than meddle elsewhere in the world right now
