Yeah, I don't believe Candidate Biden had or has a clue based on just about everything he's said and done.
quote
The ‘adults in the room’ have failed again
The ‘adults are back in the room’, we were told when Joe Biden assumed the US presidency. The turbulence of the Trump years was behind us, and a return to normalcy – both domestic and global – was all but guaranteed.
Snip
‘Putin knows that when I am president of the United States his days of tyranny… are over’, Biden warned in 2019. A year later, he returned to the theme: ‘Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be president.’

Brandon: "The world will hold Russia accountable."
Was China held accountable? But hey, what's done is done. It's something we have to live with now, right? The REAL one thing that supposedly caused the global crap storm for the past few years and NO ONE is held accountable. Act of Gaia/God/human tinkering?
Neither Trump nor Biden were or are actual Presidents. Trump wasn't allowed to make decisions and Biden knows he doesnt make them. He knew that going in. Trump thought he would be in control, but was wrong.
Putin makes decisions and is in control. Putin knows America is lead by Presidents. That should isn't lead by Presidents.

Putin knew Trump was too stupid to play the war games. Might drop a nuke or do something to screw it up for everyone.
War makes money for everyone and with Afghanistan winding down, something needs to fill the gap.
So.... No war with Trump is a bad thing now? Democrats get you into war, either because they are incompetent, or because they are war mongers. If you think Putin didn't invade any other country because he was afraid Trump was too stupid.... Are you touched?
Weak men cause war. War causes death and hard times. Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men.
This is the pattern. Show me on the pattern where Biden fits in with this. Also, Where is Putin on this pattern?
! Vlad's intent is total war, to Berlin, to Prague to Budapest, to Athens. Dig a foxhole six feet deep, lie down in a fetal position under a blanket, cover your ears tightly, this will be loud. Hyperinflation next week, sabotage of infrastructure in energy, communications and transport this week. The balloon has gone up kids. Apocalypse WW III ' Till we meet again '
UKRAINE—As Russian troops assemble at Ukraine's border ahead of a possible land invasion, President Biden has taken swift action by deploying an elite seal team to evacuate his son Hunter's money.
"At my direction, military operatives infiltrated a bank to evacuate my son's stash of sweet, sweet Burisma cash before Russia murdered everyone. I didn't want to risk that money falling into the wrong hands," said Biden in a statement to congress. "Unfortunately, we haven't been able to evacuate Americans from the country because I put all our resources on this operation. But make no mistake, we will leave no dollar behind."
The four-man squad was dropped into ally territory by a Black Hawk helicopter outfitted for stealth missions. Once on the ground, they covertly asked for directions to the nearest bank and shared an Uber to make the 4-mile journey.
Bank security footage depicts the squad calmly entering the bank and asking for the manager. The squad then assembled in a tiny cubicle to discuss closing the account. In the end, the soldiers strategically left the building with a giant cargo net filled with millions of U.S. dollars.
General Mark Milley called the operation an "unprecedented success" and noted that the "bazillions of dollars" were safely back in the U.S. where they could be used to boost the failing narcotics economy.
At publishing time, Biden's approval rating has dropped another five points.

! Hips to the Left, hips to the Right. ! Nose art for the S.A.C. bombers delivering an ultimatum to Vlad, all the small things. Cover your ears, this will get loud ! Which American cities will Vlad destroy first ? Unthinkable M.A.D.

Would any sane person/culture want to follow America's lead in social and economic initiatives given a choice?
Current, or prior? Currently. I don't think any sane person would follow anything we do, and anyone that is should be suspect. But go back to the stuff that built this country, and you've got a recipe for great growth, and great people.
Including slavery?
Not really trying to start a s---tstorm. I just wanted to express a thought that came immediately to mind. Maybe it's because a few hours ago, I saw a report that there could soon be enough votes in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass some kind of Reparations bill. I didn't look at the article.
No, that would be following China's example. The US example was to abolish slavery in the 19th century.

The US House plans on stealing from some citizens and giving it to a select few because of the color of their skin? Isn't slavery when one group steals the fruits of the labor of another?

Isn't it ironic that the 13th Amendment abolished slavery and then the very next Amendment, the 14th, is the one that prohibits government from doing something as asinine and illegal as giving "reparations" to any "special class" of citizens it tries to create?
Now back to the Ukraine......

! Reason and argument, dialog with a sane leader by a sane leader. Yeah, sure, that could work. Unhappily, in 2022, failing to destroy nine of ten Russian combatants conventionally will trigger Putin's launching, because he's nuts. A former KGB colonel raised to Russia's military leader, insanely desiring turning to the past for glory and personal wealth, a sick narcissism, his twisted noodle. An appeal to calmer and wiser, more mature, Russian military commanders to decapitate that wingnut, to avoid the destruction of Moscow and St Petersburg, the Armageddon Doctrine, MAD. Under the Bombs Retaliation for BW attacks, tomorrow, sooner than later. ' We do have the the nukes to destroy all of the population, the entire military and politburo, for peace. ' ' This might get loud ' ' to solve the problem, destroy them. ' !
