Bungling Biden's two interests in this war are to keep the war limited and to see Putin punished.
Yes, the people of Russia should have gotten rid of Vlad 20 years ago.I agree with the first half of this. Nobody is interested in a real war.
But a west in turmoil is the goal of Russia and China and this passion play is certainly delivering that.
And will likely continue to do so for a while and set up additional actions to do more down the road.
This is what happens when you vote away leadership and get puppets instead.

President Trump not only successfully deterred Russia from acting against Ukraine, he effectively deterred a lot of bad behavior across the planet.
Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 when George W. Bush was president.
Russia took Crimea in 2014 when Barack Obama was president.
Russia has now invaded Ukraine with Joe Biden "in charge".
However, when Donald Trump was president, Russia did not seize territory from any of its neighbors.
President Trump not only successfully deterred Russia from acting against Ukraine, he effectively deterred a lot of bad behavior across the planet.
He focused on ending America’s foreign wars rather than launching new ones.
At the same time, he brokered the Abraham Accords to expand peace in the Middle East.
So how did President Trump succeed in containing Putin while the Russian autocrat has run wild with others in the White House? Why was he so successful?
- Rebuilt the American Military
- Crusaded for American Energy Dominance
- Set the Tone by Launching Surgical Missile Strikes in Syria in Early 2017
- Developed Strong Relationships with Middle Eastern Nations Based on Mutual Interests
- Was Ruthless with the Taliban While Winding Down the Afghanistan War
- Crushed the ISIS Caliphate
- Demonstrated a Consistent Willingness to Take out the Bad Guys
- Stood Up to China
- Strategically Used Unpredictability as an Asset in Foreign Affairs
- Advanced Tough Russia Policies and Provided Lethal Aid to Ukraine while Maintaining an Open Dialogue

Whoever was running the Xerox machines and such. Perhaps who engineered/paid for it is the better question. The answer is clearly whoever is benefitting from the results. That leaves American citizens out. Only two countries are benefitting. Expensive energy hurts literally every other one (obviously some more than others). And oddly enough, the world leader who has been taking actions for the last year to insure that this greater plan would be effective went on TV and assured the world his country would not help Ukraine. Happy Brave New World to us all...
