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. Their efforts were more successful than anyone could have imagined a few weeks ago, with Western countries uniting to evict some Russian banks from the SWIFT system of inter-bank transfers, to impose sanctions on the Russian central bank and to rush arms to Ukraine.
Admittedly, part of this mobilization is due to factors beyond Biden’s control: Putin’s reckless aggression has shocked the world, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s stout resistance has inspired it. But there would not have been this

Biden actually said they spent weeks planning Ukraine.
Admits he’s not a praying man; proves he’s not a thinking man, either.
Biden is “leading from behind”. Basically getting dragged into action by Europeans as well and major outpouring of pro-Ukrainian sympathies.
There’d be no crisis if Trump were Prez, and Max Jackboot knows it.
thats what putin said
There wouldn’t be a crisis if Trump was president.
Yo Max, this “worst crisis” wouldn’t be taking place if Trump were president instead of Bumbling Biden.
Ya dumbass.
Max Boot is a special kind of POS. A buffoon who has Ukrainian blood on his hands.
Yup. Biden caused this war by urging Ukraine to join NATO. Not to mention his idiotic energy and economic policies destroying our economy while boosting Russia’s.
Wait, Zelensky announced that anyone who wishes to fight for Ukraine can join the International Legion and will be given a weapon and sent to the front
How can it be then that Max Boot is still here in America, excreting out pieces for the Washington Post, and not in Ukraine?
I shan’t believe it!
Max has been demanding a war with Russia for decades, and here finally is his chance!
Someone get this wuss a tissue. Anytime this subject comes up with a liberal I only ask why did Putin move on Obama and biden,s watch. I did that.
Biden been on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue since he went to DC in 1972. His go to move is always been preemptive surrender to the enemies of the US But Marxist Max here has never met a big Government Fascist Democrat he did not slavishly adore
There is a sort of truth to this. Nothing has galvanized Europe and laid bare its vulnerabilities more in 50 years than having a weak and ineffective US President.
In a perfect world the Poles would tell Europe “We’ve got this!” and tag teamed with Ukraine to punch the Russians in the nose, without involving anyone else.
But we don’t have that luxury.
Is there a misprint here? Is this by Max Headroom rather than “Max Boot”?
