Gingrich: Putin sees ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ with Biden admin
The United States is confronting a pair of ruthless dictatorships in two potential collisions that could change history and leave Americans at enormous risk.
The news media focus is currently on Vladimir Putin and his threat to occupy part or all of Ukraine. Everyone recognizes that President Joe Biden made a dangerous mistake in his two-hour press conference when he said "a minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine might be acceptable. His administration was trying to reverse that comment as soon as the press conference ended and spent the next two days trying to reassure everyone – including our allies – that Biden did not mean what he clearly said.
BIDEN SAYS US-BASED TROOPS MAY EMBARK FOR EUROPE SOON
Of course, the Biden threat that there would be "severe sanctions" if Russia invaded Ukraine probably has no effect on Putin. First, when he seized all of Crimea, the Obama-Biden administration threatened severe sanctions and nothing seemed to hurt Russia much. Second, at a time when Biden’s war on American energy has raised the price of oil and forced him to beg Russia and Saudi Arabia to increase production to lower the price, Putin must be reveling in the absurdity of Biden’s words versus Biden’s actions.
Oil is the largest source of foreign income for Russia. Every dollar per barrel increase is a windfall Putin can spend on the Russian military and foreign adventures. In October 2020, with President Donald Trump’s energy independence policy, the price of crude was $39.90 a barrel. Today, with Biden’s anti-American energy policy, the price of crude has jumped to $85.43 a barrel.

That’s not ‘weakness’, that’s his diaper........................
"Probe with steel. If you meet steel, back off. If you meet mush, probe further."
Putin amd Xi are “quaking in their boots”, afraid of poopy pants Biden and his “sanctions”. Same goes for Iran and Fat ol Kim in North Korea.
Biden’s bizarre energy policies have weakened the United States, and have enriched and emboldened Russia. What rational person sees the logic in Biden cancelling the domestic oil and gas pipelines, making it nearly impossible to frack or drill in the US but allow the construction of Russian pipelines to Europe and the active solicitation and purchase of Russian oil? The Biden cabal is illogical and reflects the dementia and confusion of Biden himself. The American people suffer in many ways.
Amusing to observe the Germans. They make a huge strategic error when they gave up coal and nuclear power. However history has shown that the Germans become compliant and even rational when they become dependent. ( Churchill’s famous observation that they are either at your feet or at your neck.) The Germans absolutely refuse to offend or alienate the Russians who are getting them through the winter with their gas exports. The Germans, NATO or no NATO, are not doing and will not do anything to aid Ukraine in their time of need. The German know they are at the feet of the Russians and do not want to get kicked.
Everything that he has done, every action taken has harmed the Republic and it's citizens.
No one is incompetent enough to do this by accident.
Biden and his party are owned they know to obey or gone.
Yes, they smelled his full diaper before Doc Jill could change it.
This is a very bad situation. Putin is going to put biden in a difficult situation very soon. biden will not understand the ramifications and severity of the situation. Putin will sit back and watch biden make the wrong move, and gain many political points from it.
We are in deep doodoo.
I’m still asking why the “doomsday clock” people haven’t advanced the pointers to 1 second before midnight. (Of course I know the answer: they would NEVER criticize their beloved decrepit old fool)
Joe Biden, in spite of some blustering statements made in between periods of vacuous staring at the walls, is not the one calling the shots from the Oval Office. There is another now-shrouded “gray eminence” sending out the directives and making the decisions, often with an astonishing lack of understanding as to the long-term consequences to the world and whatever it is that the United States is becoming.
One would hope that this “gray eminence” finally gets around to reading both “The Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli and “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu. Both Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, and all their advisors, are certainly well versed in the contents of both these references on high statescraft.
Because Joe Biden surely is not.
Putin or Xi aren’t going to do anything overt. Xi especially is having great success taking over the world quietly. A war would only stop his progress in it’s tracks.
If the collective reaction to Hunter Biden’s laptop by the demonrat powers that be are a clue, then it looks like Putin and Xi own Biden.
If one notes who have been the winners and losers since those “81 million” made Biden POTUS, then it looks like Putin, Xi and a few others own Biden, since those “81 million” and the rest of us/US have been getting screwed ever since.
If there is weakness, it was supposed to be with the Ukrainian president, who probably is being made to pay with Russian troubles for any and all corruption troubles he might have caused the Biden crime family when Trump was POTUS.
Crime families do what crime families do and their rules are the rules we’ve been playing by for quite a while now.
I expect Biden to soon dispatch the likes of John Kerry to meet with Putin. Kerry will sign an agreement giving Putin the Ukraine on a plate and then Biden will declare “peace in our time” while waving the agreement at a press conference. It worked so well for Neville Chamberlain.
He thinks he's solving the Cuban missile crisis.
When asked what he would do if Putin invaded the Ukraine Biden answered, depends.
They then asked him, do you mean it depends on how far they go into the Ukraine?
Biden answered, no, it’s time to change my depends.
But then in comes President Kamala Harris, Commander in Chief.
Frying pan into the fire.
You think so? Her ratings are even lower than that idiots.
