Wasn't Biden supposed to be a Ukraine expert?  Wasn't he going to rebuild our relationship with our NATO allies?

Of all foreign policy issues it seems like this is one he would be able to handle like a pro.

Why does it look like more uncoordinated flailing?[/quote]

Putin wouldn’t invade Ukraine if there was a strong US president.  Biden is perceived as being a weak buffoon distracted by birds and killing time every week until he can go home to Delaware.[/quote]

It's the opposite. Putin was counting on Trump to win a second term. Trump was threatening to pull out of NATO and pull US troops out of Germany. Don't you remember any of this? [/quote]

I’m a DP, but you make you zero sense. Don’t you remember what happened with Syria?? Don’t you remember the last time Putin invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea? It was under Obama and Putin knows he can get away with it again because Biden will let him. Trump was going to pull out of NATO when other countries weren’t paying their fair share. That was eons ago. The Democrats chastised Trump, but he was absolutely right and because of his actions NATO countries contributed more and NATO is now in a place of strength. [/quote]

Russia had a lot of internal support for retaking Crimea.  But there is far less internal support and interest in Donbas, let alone the rest of Ukraine.  So internally he would have resistance as well.  And now he risks losing Nord Stream, he risks sanctions and risks being unplugged from SWIFT breaking international financial transactions.  It could completely destroy Russia's economy.

If Putin is serious, he is insane.  If he is saber rattling, he is doing a poor job of it.[/quote]
