Morning Joe: Hard for Russia to Subdue Ukraine — People Have a Million Guns!

Wait! Did that NRA spokesperson say so? Morning JoeWill you make the case today for the Second Amendment

Turns out, it was David Ignatius. ButHyper-Establishment Washington PostEditor/columnist Morning JoeUnwittingly, a foreign-policy maven made strong arguments for the right to bear and keep arms!

 

 

Ignatius spoke out about the high price Putin will pay if Ukraine invades Ukraine.

His next challenge will be guerrilla warfare and extended partisan warUkraine. There are 400,000 who have been trained in militia. Ukraine has a quarter of a million guns. I mean, it’s a place where it’d be hard to subdue the population.”

You go, David! All the way from your lips to those of gun grabbers’ ears!

It began with Joe Scarborough making fun of the Zoomesque virtual meeting between Putin and Biden yesterday.

JOE SARBOROUGH. These were two people who were just posing to take pictures. I can’t think of a setup that would be less conducive to having any sort of diplomatic breakthrough We can see more in these images than just what we have seen.
 
DAVID IGNATIUS: This was a beautiful wooden exchange. Hey there! Hello! I’m good.

Morning Joe host David Ignatius stated that Ukraine’s population is difficult to subdue under Putin because they possess “a million guns”. This interview was sponsored partly by Liberty Mutual (VOLVO, Google, Abbott and Amazon), as well as Liberty Mutual, Volvo, Google.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Let’s get to the high-stakes meeting between President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the president warning of heavy economic consequences if Russia invades Ukraine again…Officials say Putin gave no indication of his ultimate intent, but asked for reliable guarantees that NATO will not expand into Ukraine. Officials claim that Biden did not make any commitments in this regard.

. . . 

JOE SCARBOROUGH : David, I hope you do great reporting on the diplomatic work that is going on behind closed doorsThey were posing kind of for the camera. I can’t think of a setup that would be less conducive to having any sort of diplomatic breakthroughThese images show more than we saw just now.
 
DAVID IGNATIUS: This was a very wooden exchange.Hello! Hello! I’m good.

. . . 

This morning I thought about all the consequences of Putin’s invasion. His economy would be destroyed. He would mobilize the Europeans, as well as other U.S. allies, against Russia and, I believe, against China in a manner that would have long-lasting repercussions. 

Also Also, he will be confronted with a guerrilla war and prolonged partisan warfare in Ukraine. That’s 400,000 who have been trained in militia. 

Ukraine has a quarter of a million guns. I mean, it’s a place where it’d be hard to subdue the population. This is why I believe this is happening in the background.
