which was never really on offer
that's the irony
George W. Bush pushed that narrative way back in 2006
but NATO never followed through
the war in Georgia already won that battle for Putin
the Democrats foolishly picked it up as part of their Russia hoax
but they were just trying to provoke the Russians
except I think the Democrats thought Putin was going to win easily too
but now Zelenskiy has rallied the Ukrainians
which has thrown a wrench into the plans of both Putin & Biden
