[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you criticizing Biden for being weak on Ukraine, please explain what exactly you would do in his place. What would be a strong response? [/quote]

They don't have any better ideas, because Biden has done an excellent job managing this.

Putin underestimated Biden, and NATO as a whole. He thought this would go like all his past invasions - create a pretext, march in and take over, get a few useless sanctions put on him, and everyone eventually moves on. He also hoped it would divide NATO - that the Germans wouldn't give up NordStream, the French and the British wouldn't give up the oligrachs' money. But Biden and his team have convinced all of them that the line needs to be drawn here. Instead NATO is MORE unified and NATO have been placed even closer to Russia, which is the opposite of what Putin wanted.

And it's been masterful. Trump and his minions did NOT succeed in hollowing out the American intelligence capability, and announcing ahead of time Putin's plans seems to have unnerved him a bit, as well as showing that the emperor has no clothes.

It's really nice to have adults in charge again.[/quote]

You have to be joking.  This has all been a joke.  And, it will end as disastrously as Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal. 
At Ned Price's briefing just now, a reporter asked how they can claim that not taking Nordstream 2 off line earlier would not have been more of a deterrent.  Because, as we are witnessing, taking it off line now has had no deterring effect.  He spun some answer that was totally unsupported with facts.  
[b]And, just a reminder that Republicans proposed a bill to sanction Nord Stream 2, Biden personally lobbied against it. [/b]
This administration has certainly not done an excellent job.  Quite the opposite.

And, another reminder..... most of the "adults" in charge are the same ones who were "in charge" when Putin annexed Crimea.  Remind me again.... what administration was "in charge" when that happened?  [/quote]

You do realize that this bill would've sanctioned Germany, our allies - right?

Great idea to get them on our side - sanction the country, their government leaders, and the German companies involved. Brilliant chess.[/quote]
