He has a grain blockade on Ukranian wheat which will raise prices and throw some African nations into starvation mode. He's still selling his gas to Europe and when Europe (finally) cuts it off, it will head East. There will be continued food and energy inflation all across Europe which will be unbearable by winter. He will make incremental gains in the east of Ukraine and have all the leverage come winter when a food and energy and inflation crisis is raging causing the destabilization of Western governments. Boris is less likely to survive the Ukranian war than Putin is.
Having been so pathetically ineffectual in letting Putin think he could start this war, Joe Biden and the West have no plan to end it. They won't go the distance and send the best of our planes and missiles. They won't send troops. They will send some unwanted switchblades (their performance has underwhelmed) and artillery but the artillery is a bit late (won't you say) resulting in the slaughter of Ukranians.
Curly, what's the plan? I haven't heard shit from you other than continue to spend taxpayer money and a disproportionate level compared to Europe.
Those who voted for Biden are what I call stupid evil. Look at the havoc on your watch.
An out-manned and out-equipped, but motivated defender can make victory impossible.
And, the world will punish aggressors, at least economically.

The question to him is asked by WaPo's Josh Rogin about Taiwan in the context of Ukraine war.
He said, from Ukraine's lesson, you need to do best in diplomatic solution before war.
It's a shame that Biden admin not only failed to support Zelensky on a diplomatic solution with Russia last year since Russia started moving troops to boarder from March, this admin actually inhibited and is continuing to inhibit any diplomatic solution in Ukraine.

Gave Ultimatum after finishing 100k troops boarder deployment.
Because he was going to invade. That's what our intel people were saying immediately. They were right.
By then there was nothing that could stop him.
Eastern Ukraine. Because Minsk agreement was not implemented since 2014-15. Because Ukraine at the end of 2019 terminated the peace treaty with Russia signed on 1997, officially and legally made Ukraine hostile to Russia.
"This is all Putin's own personal decision. Nobody other than Putin would have made it, not even Ramzan Kadyrov, had he had a say in it," Pavlovsky said, referring to the authoritarian ruler of Russia's Chechnya region. "Nobody, including myself, realized just how maniacally obsessed he must have been with Ukraine. We underestimated the extent of decay of the Russian government."

Iraq war number is even much higher. Stop using casualty to make childish crying baby argument. That's what any war supposed to be. Even high school students understand that. The war is brutal. That's why you need to stop war in first place and exhaust all diplomacy before military actions. When winning you are a war monger; when losing, you are a crying baby, typical post-modern American.

Do you want us to send troops?
Sometimes things happen that are not the fault of the man in the White House. Hard for you to grasp, I guess.
Key for Ukraine to win.
We (Biden admin) provided Ukraine weapons, we provided Ukraine money, we provided Ukraine intelligence, we just don't provide what Ukrainians need the most: peace.
At the very least, big parts of Ukraine are going to be chopped off by this pointless, bloody invasion.
Ukraine might well remain an independent country. Maybe that's winning.
But war mongers don't think so.
Oh wait, I actually do know. You are a Russian propagandist.

Surrender all the former Warsaw Pact countries to Putin.., and then Taiwan to Xi … and send pallets of cash to Iran. This should buy us “peace in our time.”
Trump gains control in 2024 and we have a new world order of megalomaniac dictators.

Please also address what we should do with Xi and the mullahs.
