How far is President Biden willing to ascend the escalation ladder on Ukraine?

By any accounting, Tuesday’s State of the Union was short on talk of foreign policy. President Biden made scant reference to America’s role in the world, absent a brief but cadenced assertion of commitments to “the most basic of principles;” namely, “sovereignty,” life “free of tyranny,” and “the defense of democracy.”

About an hour in, the address showcased Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to Washington, but reference to American material support came only in passing assurance of “as long as it takes.” This stands in stark contrast to last year’s address, delivered during the opening weeks of Russia’s invasion, when President Biden opened with a blistering critique of Vladimir Putin and encouragement of the Ukrainian people.

Ten bucks says he boots on the ground with American troops.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Biden has no restraints on his insanity other than what the Junta allows.

How far is President Biden willing to ascend the escalation ladder on Ukraine?

As high as he is paid off to.

[JonPreston]

Putin is the only political resistance to Demented Joe

[null and void]

As far as The Big Guy can collect his 10% without getting tarred and feathered.

Ten bucks says he boots on the ground with American troops.

Twenty bucks says there's already US boots on the ground.

A president doesn’t make those decisions. He only signs off on them after being advised by bipartisan generals and defense academics. It has been that way for a very long time.

[1Old Pro]

advised by bipartisan generals

Sure

[familyop]

And the U.S.A. is obviously already dedicated to the effort along with the rest of NATO and more.

Ten bucks says he boots on the ground with American troops. Twenty bucks says there's already US boots on the ground.

30 bucks sayin this ain't gonna end well.

If Ukraine wins there will be nuclear crisis.

If Russia wins there will be a nuclear crisis.

Peace now.

[jpp113]

"bipartisan generals and defense academics"? should read "bi-gender generals" and leftist academics these days

I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night....

NO BET!

[eyeamok]

I think we are already there and have been for a while, maybe not in the action, but you can bet your ass we are providing intelligence and support ON THE GROUND already

[FreshPrince]

Well Biden should be able to escalate as far as Trump said he would if Putin invaded Ukraine: The annihilation of Moscow.

Somehow it is not being well reported that the Russians have a half million troops staged and ready to go. They are not going anywhere until the time is right, but rapid change is likely just around the corner. We will see.

It is doubtful that NATO will launch nuclear weapons to counteract this, so as unfortunate as this situation is... This is the scenario that will likely prevent WWIII despite the best efforts of Bumbling Biden and the rest of the Woke cabal in charge of NATO.

The “sanctions” are a complete and total failure that have done nothing but suck money out of consumers pockets in the West and deposit large sums directly into Putin's pockets. It is an absolute embarrassment that a relatively poor country with less than 15% of the population and maybe 5% the money of NATO countries can stand up to them and likely prevail. That is called wokeness in action.

[Who is John Galt?]

Let's see:

WWI - Wilson (D)
WWII - Roosevelt (D)
Korea - Truman (D)
Vietnam - Kennedy/Johnson (D)

So WWIII, courtesy of Dementia Joe (D) and his numerous enablers, shouldn't surprise anyone...

He has no idea himself.

He is waiting to be told.

I'll take that bet since your sentence is gibberish and impossible.
