The whole world "senses weakness." How is anyone speaking to POTUS supposed to know if POTUS even knows what his own policy is?

We are talking about Ukraine here, supposedly Biden's area of expertise from his time as VP and a major ongoing crisis. How is it that he can't even answer questions from the press without Psaki scribbling out corrections as she watches the press conference?

We had an attenpted coup and not only have we done notbing about that we also have over 40% of the population and 99% of Republican officials that support it. Of course the world sense weakness in the US.

+1. Anyone concerned about U.S. weakness should be really worried about our internal strife. We need to deal harshly with the local insurrectionists.

Nice attempt at trying to deflect from Biden’s clueless comments about Ukraine and Russia. For someone who supposedly has great “foreign policy chops” his response was abysmal.

It's bot deflection, it's the truth. The United States is cracking up and the EU has its own issues. NATO and the Western Alliance is less unified than ever. This is an inflection point. We either come out of this with a renewed alliance or it falls apart. That is the binary choice we, and make no mistake it's not just the US, are facing.

Which is a lot like saying “rape isn’t ‘rape’ if someone just uses a finger instead of their penis”.


I beg to differ.

Sanctions are always an option.

Russian military field hospitals have now been set up to treat soldiers wounded in the imminent offensive against Ukraine:

Russia has also placed several batteries of offensive medium-range missiles capable of hitting the Capitol, Kiev.

We have no internal weakness. What we have is a bunch of idiots on one side and a bunch of whinny cry babies on the other. But I do think Putin sees weakness. It is that miscalculation that will cause the loss of life. Putin will go too far. He can eat the Ukraine but he will go further. Any attack on NATO is the ball game. All of this I lay at the feet of Trump for giving us the impression of weakness.

We are all good. We are not cracking up.

LOL. No, this is all Biden. He is weak. Everyone knows it... especially our adversaries. They watched the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan.
And, it is not just an "impression" of weakness. He is weak. It is very sad.

I could probably make a good argument for NATO and/or UN involvment, but I'm not sure why the US would want to get involved on its own. Feel free to convince me otherwise.

Holy crap, open a history book. The USSR committed genocide in the Ukraine and tried to purposefully starve to death the Ukrainians under Stalin. Nearly 4 million Ukrainians were killed by the soviets during Holomodor. There's even a damn Holomodor memorial in DC to remember the genocide! Yet we are just supposed to forget history and allow Putin to recapitulate the days of Ukraine under Stalin?

This is true. It is also true that a huge number of Ukrainians volunteered in German squads and killed a huge number of Jews. It is also true that parts of Ukraine were in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is true that they are haters of Jews for centuries. It is also true that Ukraine has almost never been a separate country but a part of the Russian Empire. It is also true that Crimea was not a part of Ukraine until one USSR president gave it to them in 1954.
You can find all kinds of wrongs in the world if you look hard enough. You will find that the new population of the U.S. committed genocide of the Native population, engaged in slavery, and kills black people by choking them in public.
I am not sure what you think to provoke with your post? Pity, the need to right the wrong? To pain one ethnic group as evil but the other as good? Should we not look at ourselves before we accuse others of being evil?

Ahhh....whataboutisms. A classic and favorite tactic of communists since 1951!

Kremlin bots are here

Afghanistan disaster was the impetus for Putin’s invasion. Of course he’s taking advantage of our weak, feeble minded president.

For those asking what the Europeans have been doing.

Spain has sent ships to the Black Sea
France is sending troops to Romania
Denmark has sent ships to the Baltic Sea
The Baltics and UK have sent weapons to Ukraine
Canada, Germany, UK and US have led multinational "enhanced forward presence" battle groups into Poland and the Baltics.

Meanwhile Russia is now demanding that NATO surrender Romania and Bulgaria.

Incredibly ironic and hypocritical that the right wing says "The US should project strength and unity" while behind the scenes they are actively trying to destabilize the US and foment unrest and civil war which does the exact opposite.

Just STOP already.

Along with trying to alienate every possible ally we have in standing up against Russia and China...

Today's right wing seems hellbent on destroying the US and rolling out the red carpet for a Russian and Chinese takeover. The right wing's leaders are destructive cynical weasels actively involved in this, and the other half are witless dupes not capable of understanding any of this, but gleefully going along with it, because they think it's "owning the libs" or something.
