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.

Really?
Maybe I haven't heard, where precisely is Germany now on all this?
Oh, and as Tucker asks, what is our national interest in an alleged "tough stance"?
Leadership?
So far he’s tried about 100 things to provoke wars in Ukraine, the Middle East, and …?
And he’s failed at every attempt.
He may be a traitor but he’s surely not a leader
Yup, he masterfully prevented a war that never was.

Begin with a lie, all that follows is worthless.
WaPo kneepads are worn out.
Lying Joe Biden could not lead a starving man to a meal. The thief he is, he would steal it from him. But what am I bitching for? He is the choice of the People. Just not mine.
The Ukraine issue is a distraction. Russia already controls the black sea and surrounding regions. Pay attention to Syria. Russian expansion there will put Russia in an influence position in the eastern Mediterranean. Biden is playing checkers.
Karen is a 72 YO leftist from way back. Missy looks like her ‘protege.’
Awful hard to spit shine a turd...
Biden looks like he is large and in charge.
Even with a full load in his diaper.
Funny you should bring up #2.
WaPo concedes that Biden’s leadership has been questionable?
The Swampington Post.
Pure Wag the Dog
Maybe Putin is in on a scam to make Biden look good in order to keep a weak opponent in power.
“I’d buy that for a dollar”
You just knew an absurd article like this was going to come along.
The Swampington Post is a reliable purveyor of propaganda for the Dems.
Does anyone believe the Post>
They got the memo...
How is brandon leading?? He appears to be following.
