I’m not a praying man, but if I were, I would be on my hands and knees thanking the Almighty that during the worst crisis in Europe since 1945, the United States is led by Joe Biden, not Donald Trump.
Biden has been as masterful in his handling of the Ukraine war as he was ham-handed in his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. For months he has been warning that Russia would invade and predicting that this would trigger a “swift and severe” response. He even laid out details of Russian plans to stage false flag operations and to install a puppet regime in Kyiv.
There was much skepticism on all counts, with Russia and its apologists denying until the last moment that the invasion would occur. But Biden was dead right. This is the opposite of the Iraq War, when U.S. intelligence and leadership was discredited. American credibility has been enhanced by Biden’s deft handling of this crisis. Today it is Moscow, not Washington, that is acting based on bad intelligence: Russian dictator Vladimir Putin massively underestimated Ukrainian resistance.
While publicly calling out Putin, Biden and his aides were working furiously behind the scenes to unite the West behind an agenda meant to support Ukraine, punish the Kremlin — and, implicitly, to deter China from an attack on Taiwan.

The Neville Chamberlain of our century.
Loved when the congresswomen yelled out 13 in Joe’s speech.

Biden isn’t worthy to have shined Chamberlain’s shoes.
Thank goodness President Retard helped start the biggest war in Europe since 1945 and not Trump 🤪
Beat me to it.
Max Boot just read Putin’s mind.
Max Boot, Billy Kristol’s compadre in crime.
Biden caused the crisis.
Prepping for Dementia Joe’s Pinocchio count.
Is this from The Onion?
He’s a propagandist.
Well i would rather all this shit be blamed on biden.
Max Bootlicker comes to the rescue of Senile Joe.
Masterful because he predicted the invasion of Ukraine? Listen, Max, the idea is for the United States President and his administration to prevent things like that not play Amazing Kreskin games. What a putz.
Biden built this. Something that President Trump would have never allowed.
Trump would have prevented this invasion and senseless war. The Dems would rather have World War 3 rather than Trump get credit for preventing WW3.
All the Dems that surround Joe after his speech to shake his hand look like nut cases.
ax Boot. Are you kidding?
