To be fair, he has admitted that he was wrong about that.

I mean, what else could he have done? Ignore it?

He admited it in the most petty way, and only because the fact that russia actually invaded Ukraine was impossible to weasle out of, or paint it in a different light.

He's done more than you're doing right now in admitting he was wrong. You're doubling down.
