I actually would think they’d want to keep the focus on Ukraine, to avoid undue attention on the crap show here at home.
The political problem of Ukraine for Biden is that ultimately the outcome is beyond his control. It shows every indication of slogging on for months maybe even unto the election, at which point most people will have had enough of two foreign countries slugging it out, with us having no apparent stake in the outcome. “Defending democracy” abroad is pretty thin gruel in this day and age and like the pollster says, people are tiring of it already.
Biden had clearly hoped to be able to parlay Ukraine into an image of himself as a forceful “wartime president,” but his buddy Zelinskyy stole the show. And the EU has not exactly been hanging with bated breath on every declaration from the white house.
So the country drifts, leaderless, which panics the operatives and worries the Nation, but which totally eludes the white house gang. They exist in a bubble and think they’re doing fine.
