I agree. Once Putin had Trump there in power he sensed that the country was weak and decided to take action thinking that the Americans were too preoccupied with trying to be some semblance of government and international relations back to order once Biden won the election. Problem was that the Biden admin actually has experience and capabilities, and the Ukrainians decided to fight for their country and now Russia is finding out that they made a pretty poor move based on faulty assumptions. > We have no leg to stand on 1) At some point we get our legs to stand on back - supporting Ukraine actually has gone a long way in the eyes of Europe and allies in the Pacific. 2) Not having a leg to stand on doesn't matter because we can do wrong things and then also criticize others when they do wrong things. 3) EU member states and other nations have legs to stand on and they also support the American position on Ukraine.
