Declassifying US Intel premptively to under cut Putin's propaganda justification for war was politically risky but ultimately successful in shaping and uniting the entire world in opposition to Russia so yea, in this case he did a good job.

I remember a bunch of people in this forum crapping on him when he was releasing the info too. Oops, wrong again.

Nearly everything in your list is either false, or Biden has no control over. That is what you're forced to resort to in your desperate attempt to attack Biden for anything you can think of.

I will be waiting for the day when I can say, "Biden defeated Putin."

If Putin falls it isn't going to be because of anything demented Biden did. Everything he does is from behind the eight ball. Sure, he'll get praised by the liberal media but it won't do anything to hasten the demise of the Democratic party.

If Putin falls it will be because of the strong leadership and bravery of the Ukrainians. Their president has guts. Joe Biden only has his sippy cups and vacations to the beach.

The right has been incessantly claiming that Putin invaded Ukraine because Biden was weak.

But if Putin's invasion of Ukraine turns out to be Putin's undoing, Biden's actions will look brilliant.

That is an intelligent as the retort by Joe Pesci in "My Cousin Vinny"- "Everything that guy said is BS"!

BS- refute it, as it is all true.

Biden BUNGLED this. He also could have increased US oil production- even starting that would have dropped global oil prices and reduced the money Russia needs for war.

There needs to be an option of "He's doing a fair job". His response hasn't been great, but it hasn't been awful.

US oil production has already been going up since Biden took office. And forecasts are that it will reach a new record next year.

Of course if that happens people like you will go into fits of denial and come up with some other excuse to attack him.

We should be pumping at 100% capacity to sell to Europe, so that they can stop funding the enemy. I don't see President Biden doing anything to set this into motion, which is why I think he's doing a poor job at handling this.

Mr Biden is an actor in political theater and half senile. Let’s have a few laughs and some sympathy, but leave him out of real politics and strategic affairs.

Short of mutual nuclear annihilation, compared to Russia, since 1991 and counting, the US has a much stronger geostrategic position.

In the current situation, the US has little to lose by making one of its adversaries struggle in a bloody fight against one of its patsies, both of whom sit atop enormous strategic resources in the form of land, soil, water, metals, minerals, and fossil fuels. If the Ukrainians gain the upper hand and drive back the Russians, the US and its NATO junior allies gain enormously, eventually being in a position to dominate China by land from the north.

If the Russians gain the upper hand and take the eastern half of Ukraine, the US still gains by maintaining a wedge between Germany and Russia and keeping all the NATO junior allies cowering in fear under the US umbrella, in addition to being in a position of having another perpetual arms customer.

Of course all calculations change if the conflict escalates to nuclear.
