"The American president who left office just 14 months ago sided with the butcher." [View all]

John Harwood: “Americans rarely pay much attention to international events. Busy lives leave little time for distant events with unfamiliar protagonists.”

“Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has become a rare exception, its butchery in plain view via saturation coverage for anyone with a video screen. But Americans may not yet have absorbed this disturbing reality: The American president who left office just 14 months ago sided with the butcher.”

“That’s right: In the struggle now uniting the free world against an autocrat’s lawless aggression, America’s most recent ex-President sided with the autocrat.”
