The United Kingdom's former prime minister Tony Blair says Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine is an 'act of madness.'

The United Kingdom's former prime minister Tony Blair says Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine is an “act of madness.”

“He changed over time, but in the times that I knew, if he'd become much more brutal, he was also still very calculating," the former world leader said. "And the real anxiety people have about his behavior over Ukraine is that it's such a colossal miscalculation. I mean ever to think that Ukraine or Ukrainians were going to accept being brought under the heel of a Putin dictatorship.

Twelve weeks into Russia’s assault of Ukraine, troops are shifting their focus to close in on specific regions of Eastern Ukraine after facing defeat near the capital of Kyiv. However,on Friday, which would be its biggest victory yet if confirmed by Ukraine. “I can't tell you exactly what the response of the West would be, but it would be very significant,” he said. “Now, I think in the first couple of weeks of this conflict, we might have been able to bring [the war] to an end on a relatively straightforward basis. The problem now is Ukrainians will not agree to give up any of their territory or even push him back to where he was prior to the 24th of February.

NATO invasion of Iraq & Libya was 'act of oil piracy'

$10 blair wrote that on a public bathroom wall...any takers?

This is madness.

Isn't that Tony 'The War Criminal' Blair?

Wow I’ve never seen so many people with madness call out someone else with their disease. Pretty self righteous!

Blair said !!!!!!!! What a truthful man !!! Even good cause becomes a controversy when this type of people are involved. Keep them away .

George looked right into Putin's soul. Look what became of him.

What a joke.

Putin’s act of madness is because Ukraine president dis agreed with Russia Putin’s idea of a manmade disaster of a gas pipeline built in the Ukraine , Putin selfishly fighting to gain Ukraine territory back with economic corrupted Cold War .

So is the decision to plunge the West into poverty over a war that makes little sense. And before you blame it on Russia, maybe you should ask why the West has not mentioned hosting peace talks for awhile now. They love this war because they think it will fight climate change.

Crazy....yet so brave

Guys rate my nude photos)

Oh yea. Defending your country is madness! Now do Yemen

This World is just going crazy with hatred every where. JUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER what's so hard about it, no wonder why I love my dogs so much. They only give unconditional love and no hatred.

What does he call the decade of Arming and Advanced Military Training Swastika waving Neo-Nazi in Ukraine to Terrorize and destabilize Eastern Europe? Creating A Global Threat to world Governance worse than ISIS is a Weapon of Mass Destruction That the World needs to control

That's a true story. He has to be mad, insane even. It's a age of information, we are so smart. We can all get along, we can all make money, we actually can all heal this planet as well. Time to oust all the monsters who just want power.

Former…dick

LegacyMedia are not working for the readers. They work for the advertisers and whomever else they can peddle influence too.

And Iraq invasion was for a noble cause to help the fight for climate change?

Says the same guy who is responsible for thousands of deaths around the globe. His decision was to bomb Serbia on 1999 without UN approval and kill about 3000 civilians.

A bunch of ppl with no heart!

And your invasion of Iraq and killing millions of Muslims are acts of wisdom and kindness?

Desperation does not equal madness. Why is legacy media so incapable of reporting with any semblance of nuance?

And Blair would know how much an act of madness invading other nations based on false accusations looks like 😉

Any invasion of iraq Tony spoon blair

Where were weapons of mass destruction when you invaded Iraq?

What about you and Bush invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan

Good ol' Tony...

I stand with Russia as a Canadian citizen and so does every functioning person I know.

You mean the guy who went all in on the Weapons of Mass Destruction lie and invaded Iraq along with the US under false pretenses. This is the last guy who should be talking about acts of madness.

Look who is talking. Imagine Hitler is saying the same!

Same Tony Blair from backing the invasion of Iraq well he do know what he's talking about

The biggest war criminal is talking lol

Tony dragged the UK into Iraq, right?

He's the PM who helped America invade Iraq

Blair is one of the most evil men on the planet. How much innocent blood is on his hands. However he’s a big WEF person so the media loves him

It might be an act of madness to us, but in Putin's mind, he thinks it's all good. PutinWarCriminal
