Six months ago, the transatlantic alliance was on shaky ground, with President Biden’s promise of a reinvigorated NATO under U.S. leadership severely undermined by the Afghanistan debacle and a foreign policy that seemed unready for prime time.
Today, Biden and his team have redeemed themselves in the eyes of many NATO allies, with a tough stance on Ukraine and the successful wrangling of the often-fractious alliance to support it.
Ukraine’s fate, and Russia’s future relationship with the West, remain uncertain. Biden has said he is convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin, with more than 150,000 troops and massive weaponry amassed on Ukraine’s borders, has decided to invade, despite the West’s offered carrot of negotiations over a new European security architecture to address his concerns if he withdraws, and the threatened stick of harsh sanctions and isolation if he does not.
But regardless of the outcome, officials, diplomats and experts have already begun charting the winners and losers.

LOL.. Sad state of journalism, completely out of touch.
Pure fantasy. Ukraine will further expose Biden’s weak leadership.
Karen & Missy - lol.
They still think they can direct public opinion.
Compost still trying to polish a turd.
The Ministry of Propaganda never ceases to try to convince us of their alternative reality.
Hah! I said in multiple places the Biden admin — especially Kamala — needed a win to rehab their image. Well, it sounds like the media now has their new marching orders, and the whole Ukraine charade will now be played up as a major foreign policy victory.
All Hail Caesar!
Forget about that messy Afghanistan thing, we’re going toe-to-toe with Putin. Any day now.
Sure...Biden is going from a complete lack of leadership skills to -30 level leadership skills.
Which outcome produces the “win”?
Putin invades, or Putin doesn’t invade?
I wish Jeff Bezos would find a new hobby.
Was just gonna say “keep polishing wp, maybe it’ll shine for,you some day, but,I doubt it’
Leadership. This may be the first time in history that word is used near Joe B.
Doesn’t matter to,the lame stream media- all they care about is that Biden “acted tough” (while,reading a script,that was written for him”), and now they can boost his numbers with the ,ow info fol,folks, that watch their networks
Gee, the Washington Post has discovered the reeason why Biden keeps saying that Russian incursion into Ukraine is immenent. He is beating the subject to death. It is obvious there is a reason and the Washington Post hit the nail on the head.
“Ukraine charade” didn’t give it away?
Wagging them dogs!
And if you thought the Wellstone Memorial Political Rally was something if Biden checks out we haven’t seen anything yet!
Another WaPoo fluffing.
Oh really? He said we were having a war right now. He didn’t deliver that either.
Old fart is just a lying old commie pervert.
Um, number 2 wins because Biden said so.
