After Putin finally declared on Monday that he would deploy “peacekeeping” troops to Ukraine after recognizing two “breakaway” states as independent, Gabbard appeared on Hannity’s primetime show to blast Vice President Kamala Harris for promising sanctions on Russia during the recent Munich Security Conference.
“She has no concept of the cost of war nor does she have the temperament necessary to be the voice of the United States on the global stage. It’s embarrassing to see this play out,” the ex-congresswoman huffed. “She talked about deterrence and sanctions. How do you deter someone by punishing them before they do it? It’s simple.
This is grade school understanding. If you say I’m going to punish you before you do something, wouldn’t a kid say, ‘Fine, I might as well as do it anyway.’”
