If he were that smart, how did he get stuck in Ukraine? How did he not see that there would be oil sanctions and frozen funds in western (US and European) banks? He's floundering trying to get out of this mess.

If Pootie were a smarter man, he'd have a "real" President in his pocket, not a goofball like Chump.
