"Its hard to look at what hes doing in Ukraine, what his forces are doing in Ukraine, and think that any ethical, moral individual could justify that. Its difficult to look at, Kirby said, his voice starting to strain.
He paused for around 10 seconds and said sorry to reporters as he looked away from them, seemingly needing a moment to gather his thoughts. He went on to say that it is difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well-thinking, serious, mature leader would do that. So I cant talk to his psychology, but I think we can all speak to his depravity.
Its hard to square [Putins], lets just call it what it is, his BS, that this is about Nazism and Ukraine, and its about protecting Russians in Ukraine and its about defending Russian national interests, when none of them none of them were threatened by Ukraine, Kirby added, while lightly pounding his fist on the podium.
Its hard to square that rhetoric by what hes actually doing inside Ukraine to innocent people: shot in the back of the head; hands tied behind their backs; women, pregnant women being killed; hospitals being bombed. I mean, its just unconscionable, he said. Its just beyond me.
