What are you expecting him to be doing?

We can't go to war with Russia.

IMO Biden is handling this exactly right.

I felt exactly the same. I dont want us boots on the ground. I just...dont. But I believe we could provide more support. A LOT more support.

Republicans don't have to go begging Biden

He screws up everything he does, all by himself.

How about banning their oil… even Pelosi supports that, but sleepy Joe is scared about AOC. We could ramp up our oil production, so it’s a long-term fix to replace the 8% of Russian oil we buy.

How about removing all Russian banks from SWIFT…

There are a lot of things Biden can do that doesn’t involve direct warfare… but yeah… seizing boats… that will teach Putin!

Not voting any of the above. Really a matter of bad strategy, which isn't necessarily strong or weak.

Still should stop buying his oil

So far, he has resisted: I approve.
Regardless if the US military gets involved or not, I predict the US tax payers are going to end up paying hundreds of billions of dollars, if not a trillion to rebuild Ukraine, that is an almost certainty!

Better late than never. Building new oil wells vs not building any. Gee, let me think. And re-opening that pipeline.

There’s only so much we can do, and of those things, President Biden isn’t doing enough, like not funding the enemy through the purchase of oil…
