The question in the title is either naive or mis-directed.....It should be obvious to even the casual observer that Biden is only a figure-head "front man" for the ruling committe of our country. it's those decision makers who are either incompetient, or more likely, subversives.

As Holmes told Watson several times-- "Each point taken by itself is suggestive...Taken together, the conclusion is certain."

Forecasts?????? Just like the "climate change" forecasts that have Miami and NYC underwater now?

Back in reality, not "forecasts":

13,600 barrels per day Feb 2020

11,400 barrels per day Feb 2022

BIDEN JUST SAID HE WOULD NOT INCREASE PRODUCTION, DESPITE THAT INCREASE PUTTING PRESSURE ON RUSSIA.

You can't have it both ways. You wanted your boy to reduce oil drilling and stop the Keystone pipeline for some BS "climate change" initiative. Faced with the fact now that was a dumb idea, you just make up lies about what SHOULD have been done, but was not done.

More liberal lies.

Obama Inc is behind Biden. He's just a brain dead puppet.

Without Obama in 2014 we / Ukraine / Russia would not be in this situation.

Why does Obama / Biden not release us to drill, drill, drill and the Keystone pipeline? They want a shortage of Oil at very high prices.

No one knows if either of these two things would work but they are both the logically consistent things to do.

What Biden did (or his administration did, as he is a potted plant) talked tough without any real desire to back Ukraine. This pushed Ukraine into a war with Russia. If we were not prepared to fight for Ukraine, we should not have talked 'tough.' Ukraine is paying in blood, and possibly territory.

Ultimate blame lies at Putin's feet of course, but Biden's administration foreign relations team should all be fired.
I did read in The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump that you should NEVER bluff, that if you make threats you must be prepared to carry them out. That if you threaten to walk away from a deal, you really have to be able to live with that deal not being made. I think both Sleepy Joe and Putin could learn a lot from Trump.

But you can go ahead and stay in your disinformation world Putin was so willing to coddle you with, in the hope of dividing the USA. Good on you comrade for helping him out.

The rest of the world... eh, you aren't with us yet. But we hope you will see the light! Even if you were tricked you can still realize it and don't let it happen again! What is the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you.." Don't fulfill the "Fool me twice" part as so many have done.
Yet you're not able to address anything else in my post, including how if we had continued to expand domestic oil and gas production from the Trump years we wouldn't be so dependent on Russian oil supplies and we would be able to export more to Europe. Biden secretly likes high gas prices thinking it will push people to "renewables".

Funny, isn't?

Now that it is OBVIOUS that US oil exploration SHOULD HAVE been increased, liberals just lie and they say that production HAS INCREASED!

It's like "1984" with these people. When they don't like their past decisions, they just lie about them and continue the lie until they all believe it.

Before quoting Trump you might want to read up on the writing of "The Art of the Deal". Tony Schwartz and the publisher say Trump was not involved in any way. Trump had less to do with the book than Norman Vincent Peale.

Biden and his senior leadership across the board have done a phenomenal job. I'm so thankful we have Biden leading this crisis and not Trump.

Not a single American drop of blood has been spilled, and yet Biden is DESTROYING Putin and Russia with crippling sanctions and SWIFT restrictions. The entire Russian economy will collapse within weeks.

Biden has done enough publicly to unite the world against Putin, yet American troops are nowhere near Ukraine.

Biden is putting on a clinic with his strong leadership and uniting the world against an evil psychopath.

Go, Joe! USA!
