That's exactly the opposite of what he was saying. So leaving aside the immense levels of bullshit that Alex is spewing, just towing the Putin narrative line about the war, this is a disgraceful attempt on Alex's part to rewrite his own history and coverage of the war. First things first, Alex said very specifically that Russia was not going to go into Ukraine. He said that in the days before the invasion started because he was trying to run cover against all the people who said that Putin was going to invade.
