Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

I'm a moderate R and I can't stand Biden's economic policies, but you have to acknowledge that the approach with leading NATO with respect to Ukraine has been masterful. They intentionally release intelligence info on expected Russian moves right before each Russian action takes place. They say Putin will invade, he invades. They say he will attempt to encircle Kyiv, he attempts to encircle Kyiv. They say he will increase missile attacks, he increases missile attacks. They say he will use an indiscriminate bombing campaign, he does just that. That series of releases gains the US immediate credibility with respect to understanding Russia. Which puts Biden in position to lead NATO and unite them. So much so that Germany increases its defense spending, something Trump whined about but couldn't successfully get them to do. You can stand up there and whine and bloviate about things all you want, but making things happen takes strategy, credibility, and leadership. Biden's administration has executed it brilliantly and NATO is looking to the US once again to set a rational, measured yet resolved tone. It's lending to stability in a period where there's increasing instability in Europe.

With regards to NATO, it’s now encouraging that they are now increasing spending which is a result of pressure campaigns. Germany laughed when accused by Trump that ties to Russia energy didn’t align strategic goals..they arent laughing now. I don’t see anything brilliant in a war that broke out again in Europe under another administration Biden is a part of. That’s like Trump saying Putin is brilliant for sending in peace keepers. I don’t know how this ends, Gen Milley said originally Kiev would be taken in 72 hours…Ukraine proven to be a lil more resilient. Can the Ukraines win? Maybe? They are going to have to show the ability to push Russia out of the eastern front…i just don’t think they can do it alone.
