Chuck Todd tried to claim that Ukrainian President Zelensky is as frustrated with the West as his with Putin.

Former Amb. Taylor replied, “No, Chuck. He’s clearly frustrated with Putin. He’s got allies. He was there addressing those allies in Munich yesterday, exactly what you just said. He’s got complaints about more support that he would like to have, but the real villain in the case, let’s be clear, is sitting in the Kremlin.”

The narrative that “the West,” which in this case, critics mean Biden, is not doing enough is a Republican talking point.

Chuck Todd can be counted on to put almost any issue or question through his both sides do it filter, but for him to suggest that the West is somehow also frustrating Ukraine is absurd.

There is only one villain in this story, and his name is Putin. The Russian leader has unilaterally decided to mobilize the military to invade a Democratic neighbor.

It is not a both sides issue. Putin is trying to invade Ukraine, and the West is trying to stop him.

The issue is about as clear as any in foreign relations can be, but to Chuck Todd, even hostile aggression against Western democracy is an opportunity to blame both sides.
