Mitch McConnell says Biden is 'moving in the right direction' in his response to Russia's threats against Ukraine
Business Insider ^ | 1/25/22 | Brent D. Griffiths and John Haltiwanger

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday that the White House "is moving in the right direction" in  considering a deployment of troops to Eastern Europe amid concerns Russia is on the cusp of invading Ukraine.

"They're preparing to take steps before an incursion and not afterwards," McConnell told reporters back in Kentucky, per a video from WYMT-TV. "It appears to me that the administration is moving in the right direction."

McConnell added that he has pressed the White House from the beginning to get Ukraine access to surface-to-air Stinger missiles and anti-tank weapons immediately; the US began sending Javelin anti-tank weapons to Ukraine in 2018 under a deal approved by the Trump administration.

McConnell also favors moving NATO and some US troops into Poland, Romania, and the Baltics — countries the US is pledged to defend via the NATO charter — as a further check on Russia's actions.

The legally elected president of Ukraine was toppled in a coup which was supported by the Obama administration.

Ukraine is Hunter’s cash flow.

Brandon bungled and just fled the frying pan of Afghanistan and now into the fire of Ukraine?

Biden won’t protect the U.S. southern border but wants to protect Ukraine’s border.

NATO agreed to not have unending expansion in Eastern Europe but that is what has been happening.

Ukraine isn’t a part of NATO and the U.S. isn’t obligated to defend it.

This would be quagmire 2.0. The U.S. spent $4 trillion in Iraq, followed by wars in Syria, Yemen, Lybia, etc. If some are gung ho to fight then they can parachute in.

Nobody knows which direction is Brandon moving!
So, maybe, he may move in right direction sometimes?!
Who knows?
He is known to be wrong in almost all foreign policy decisions, but, heck, even the blind chicken...
