I appreciate the fact that you posted the link to a short video. Here Gabbard clearly speculates. What could have been? Nobody knows that.

I heard her rationale by domestic analysts as well. Russians have been incredibly paranoic all the time. The west was not able to capture the signals. Crimea was invaded, but the hot spot was the Donbas. I think war is the proof of the failure of western diplomacies. At least, they didn't try hard enough.

Does the above justify Putin? Not at all, his aim was to send out tanks to Kiev and lead a coup, to install a puppet president, an emanation of him.

Gabbard in part speculates, in part tells the truth. Also, I remember us discussing Blinken's words about sanctions. I remember I said: they won't be effective in the short term, probably in the medium or long term. But I was wrong since it appears that they haven't been effective not even in the long term. The situation presently is favourable to China.

At the end though, thewar in Ukraine is not in my opinion the strongest topic against the democrats.

They tried to silence their nazist (Fuhrer Trump) adversary in every way, by charging him of treason with Russia, by silencig him on twitter, by issuing multiple charges against him. It is a classic of politics, I've seen that in Italy, the left wings hate to lose and will do everything to silence the adversary in unfair ways. Even though you might retort nothing is unfair in this game of politics. Maybe not even Trump's lies.
