[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Robert Gates:  "Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

I am certain he would say the same thing if asked today.

Obviously, you disagree, but I think this was a good move by Biden.  By playing it very slow and cool, so far, I think Biden has done the best job that could be done by the US right now.  While we will back up and support, this is Europe's war right now, to escalate or soften, as they need to.  The longer that Russia bleeds, the better, for everyone.[/quote]

I strongly disagree.  Putin views Biden as weak.  Because he is.  And, this move reinforces that.  
Biden is letting Putin call the shots.  
Biden has done a piss poor job.  And, deciding not to send the planes that Ukraine needs is a cowardly move by Biden.

And, remember.... when Russia bleeds, so do innocent Ukrainians.  That is NOT better for them.  [/quote]

This puts Biden in charge of something he isn't in charge of.  Putin isn't going to bomb us first, he is going to bomb Europe.  Biden doesn't get to make a decision. I am no fan of Biden but he is doing what he has to right now and it's truly terrible to watch.

OTOH I do think Putin was more scared of Trump. Trump wasn't a politician and didn't give a crap what he was supposed to do and what decisions were his alone or should be shared. Putin knew Trump was act now, figure out the consequences later kind of person and would still come out ok in the end. Trump probably better understands Putin and those oligarchs money or lack there of and would have know how to better sanction and cut them off from cash money faster than Biden.  [/quote]

LOL.  Putin wasn't scared of Trump, he had him eating out of his hand.  Trump was scared of Putin.[/quote]

+1000. Putin has something on Trump.[/quote]
