I am also just speculating here but as China and Russia have become more comfortable allies I don't see him upstaging the Beijing Olympics. Have Xi mad at him is not the route he wants either.

Note: I don't want American troops to be there. I hate sending young Americans to die for ideology of old men but that is the nature of conflict. Old men too stubborn to compromise.

I dunno, seems like maybe that shoulda been done months ago. This ramp up of the massing troops been going on a year.

I don’t think anybody wants US troops engaged in combat.

Biden should have kept sanctions on the norad pipeline, coulda been great leverage
