This is the kind of thing that makes me think Americans are getting stupider by the day. Do they actually want American soldiers on the ground/air? An American president is not king of the land and can’t unilaterally command European countries to do what he says. Wake up!
I'd like to see a poll of independent voters who don't watch cable news and see what they say.
be equipping Ukraine with more than defensive weapons. Give them enough the blast the 40 mile convoy of Russian military equipment to pieces.
But yes...that convoy of Ruskie trucks is just begging for it!
and for the most part the right thing to do. He’s done a decent job of it.
Before the actual physical invasion it was difficult to read Putin’s actions and Zelenskyy’s words and actions but he did get it right with the US intel that Putin was going to invade at any moment. US intel did get it right. (Something the former president didn’t do or it should be noted, the former guy sided with Putin on intel against the USA) Sanctions by Biden appear to be the right path.
For me I wanted the harshest of all sanctions done weeks ago while Putin was amassing troops and weapons at Ukrainian border. Actions like shutting down all air traffic in and out of Russia, freezing all financial assets and crushing all trade with Russia.
I also felt that he should have made more of a military presence weeks and weeks ago. In that I now believe Biden’s actions on a show of military force to have been correct. We will see.
Biden’s early call for world unity - the EU most notably - was spot on as it appears to be the more potent of all tactics so far. Germany suddenly seeing the light changing course with weapons support and halting all talks on fuel supplies from Russia and Russia backed enterprises, Sweden changing its position on this, Switzerland too. Biden’s actions appear to have been correct.
I like he’s trying not to shove Putin into a corner where he has no way out - a diplomatic way - he knew well before the rest of us Putin wasn’t being a “genius” he was obviously a madman, something the rest of us missed along the way.
For now it appears he’s doing a pretty good job.
I’ll go with the media not doing a bang up job on reporting as it appears now they collectively have been soft-core promoters of conflict in their coverage.
And he was not a shell of a man.
Perhaps the only reason Biden remains is Kamala.

For months the US was warning Ukrainians Russia would invade. I get Zelensky didn't want to frighten his people, but from the US perspective you have to hope Putin would realize he's doing Russia more harm than good.

Must be fucked up because he’s incompetent.
