Biden frets about Putin ‘off ramp’ as Finland PM says answer is to ‘leave Ukraine’
NY Post ^ | 10/07/2022 | Steve Nelson

President Biden said Thursday night that he’s concerned about Russian President Vladimir Putin lacking an “off ramp” from his seven-month invasion of Ukraine — but Finland’s prime minister strongly replied that the answer is to “leave Ukraine.”

Biden has made a series of remarks criticized as weak throughout the Russia-Ukraine crisis, of which his fretting to donors in New York City about an “off ramp” for Putin is just the latest.

The president told Democratic Senate campaign donors that “we have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the [1962] Cuban Missile Crisis” and that for the “first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, we have a direct threat of the use of nuclear weapons if in fact things continue down the path they are going.”

“I’m trying to figure out what is Putin’s off ramp?” Biden continued. “Where does he find a way out? Where does he find himself in a position that he does not not only lose face but lose significant power within Russia?”

The off ramp is the ramp out of Ukraine.

One thing’s for sure. If Putin wants to nuke the Ukraine then let him. The Euros deal with it.

Finland’s Prime Minister is a 30 something chick with no military service.
Putin is probably terrified...

Putin is losing on the battlefield and on the home economic front

Her nation has been threatened. She can get her licks in for her public’s consumption

The off ramp is to let the ethnic Ukrainians, who are a slight majority in Donbas, end up ticked off and on the wrong side THIS TIME. The slight minority of ethnic Russians get to switch sides as well. This will be only the 10th or 15th time this has happened in the last hundred years. Then we stop pi$$ing away $500M a day and get the hell out before we destroy the world over this lunacy.

Imagine Biden and his “brain trust” with idiots like Jill and Karine and Kamala. And Hunter and Obama on speed dial.

FDR popularized the term with pundits describing his WWII advisors and socialist New Deal underlings. JFK had geniuses who got the US into years of Vietnam sacrifice continued with LBJ who kept many of them on (”the best and the brightest”).

Now Biden’s mind can have the input of the current dorks today.

We are in deep trouble.

Some say just wait for winter and his (or her?) fortunes will be reversed. Perhaps, although I don’t get the logic that Russia has a tank force suited for frozen tundra more than Ukraine.

And what would happen if Russia were allowed to nuke Ukraine without harsh consequences? Every country in the world that is capable of producing nukes would rush to have them. What would it be like to live in a world like this?

On the other hand, Finland’s military is quite capable and prepared specifically to address the Russian threat. Finland knows its enemy very well.

Us or them?

We’re the ones who need to get out of that hell-hole money pit that is Ukraine. But that might cut into the Big Guy’s profits.

I think it would be smart to give Putin a fig leaf. Not sure what it should be though. Maybe relax sanctions?

Sure would be nice if we had a President that had some experience at doing complex negotiations with tough customers like Unions and the Mafia.

Oh wait we did! But at least no mean tweets and boorish comments.

If warmonger Joe Biden were to release the bioweapons in the 40 bioweapons labs In Ukraine, it would indeed be Armageddon. The bioweapons labs were funded by the U.S., thanks to Dr. Fauci. Some of there labs were activated during the Obama/Biden administration.
