5. Biden failed pre-emptively close the Bosporus Strait
Here's a great example of how the OP has absolutely no clue what he's talking about and is just making up attacks on Biden for the sake of attacking Biden:
Article 19 of the treaty, signed in 1936, prohibits the passage through the Dardanelles Strait and the Bosporus of military ships of powers involved in a war, as long as Turkey remains neutral. It is the first time since World War II, in which Turkey was also neutral, that Ankara has announced the application of Article 19, which governs the conditions of passage in times of war.
The POTUS has absolutely no power whatsoever to close the Bosporus - after all it is not even remotely close to being in US marine territory. It is entirely controlled by Turkey and is regulated by a 1936 treaty.
1. Blew diplomacy by sending Giggles to "negotiate" with Putin. Do you think ANY politician would have taken that twit seriously?
2. Biden said (through Giggles) that sanctions would PREVENT an attack. They had to walk that back.
3. Biden had gathered no consensus statement from NATO
4. Biden did not go to the UN, asking for installment of UN peacekeepers in Ukraine
5. Biden failed pre-emptively close the Bosporus Strait
6. Biden failed to confiscate Putin's merchant marine
7. Biden failed to meet with NATO and send quantities of anti-tank, anti-air missiles, tanks, helicopters, and night fighting equipment. Trump sent more to them during peace time
8. Biden failed to freeze Russian assets which would have harmed their ability to launch an attack
9. Biden has fled to Delaware after Putin has threatened to use nukes. So faced with the first nuclear attack threat since the Cuban Missile Crisis, Biden goes and takes a nap.
IF Ukraine survives, it will be in spite of, rather than because of, Biden.
1-2. Giggles is the best we have.
3. NATO members have their own ideas. What a shock!
4. Russia can veto any UN craplusion.
5. The strait is not Biden's to close. There's a pesky little thing called international laws.
6. What? Confiscate based on what?
7. They can't reach a consensus, no?
8. What Russian assets?
9. What do you want him to do? You better hope he takes a nap. Nothing he does would be good for us.
I despise the Democrats, but to be fair, what options do we really have?
Obama gave them blankets back in 2014,Biden gave them Hunter and a promise of a bag of hot air.
We sent helmets before we were embarrassed enough to send something more useful like guns & ammo

He always takes the weekend off. Leaves on Friday and returns on Monday. That’s pretty much the CongressCritters schedule, unless they leave on Thursday. Biden did the same during the Afghanistan Debacle

The waters Of the Bosporus are open to the US, as is the Black sea by Treaty. It not a matter of closing the Bosporus ( which Turkey has not done} , it more a matter of getting yo the Black Sea before Putin sends in all his ships to blockade Ukraine. That’s what Putin has done …while the US Navy was either napping or studying for their tests on Social Justice.
Surely everyone is aware by now that there is NOTHING the US Citizens can do about any of this.
We play the Cards that TeamBiden Deals and do the best we can.
If this whole incident leads to the fall of Putin - and I'd say there's a good chance of that happening - Joe Biden is going to be considered brilliant. And all the conservatives attacking him for his mishandling it will have mass quantities of egg on their face.
Be truthful. Biden is baffled and confused. All he can do is stare and pick his teeth. Over his head, with dementia kicking in.
Help us.

Joe will never be considered brilliant, except by those dumber than himself (which is a low percentage of even a dumb population).
Maybe he shouldn't have let Russia get wealthier on their oil reserves, while cancelling our own Keystone pipeline (which is much more environmentally friendly than trucking it in). That wasn't exactly brilliant.
What has Joe ever done or said that was half-way bright? He would need to plagiarize to come close to that.
Only person handling this situation ideally is Ukraine’s president.
We disagree alot...but on this...your spot on. Not leaving the country, putting on fatigues and fighting alongside his countrymen has been inspirational.....and very rare.
