Its interesting that this whole situation with Ukraine is really Biden's original fault, moreso than even Obama
It was Obama who tried to showdown against Putin on Syria and then blinked and waffled so catastrophically, but while that opened the door for Russia to annex Crimea unchecked due to Obama's weakness, it was still just a classical Russian tit-for-tat response to American intervention in Ukraine to begin with, when the CIA backed coup overthrew the democratically elected president and installed a western puppet friendly regime. And who was the architect of that? Well the first impeachment gave us quite the window into what happened behind the scenes with actors like Eric Ciaramella, and it showed that Joe Biden was really spearheading that operation. So like Hillary Clinton facing Putin's reckoning for her meddling in his election, Joe Biden is now facing his reckoning for meddling in Ukraine.
And lets be real, Putin doesn't need any more signaling or reading tea leaves to figure how Biden would respond to aggression in Ukraine. Anyone in the world who witnessed Biden literally sleeping through the implosion of Afghanistan without lifting a finger, is going to realize that if Putin were to roll tanks into Independence Square, Biden wouldn't lift a god-damn finger. At this point its entirely up to Putin to decide whats in his own best interests and do it completely unchecked. The worst he can face is more pathetic economic sanctions, completely and utterly defanged now that Biden has already capitulated on Nord Stream 2 and nixed the American LNG export plan. We can't touch his economy, we won't challenge him militarily. Look at how Donald Trump responded to Putin testing the waters in Syria: With a barrage of fucking tomahawks, and then lining up weapons along the European borders. We all know how Biden would respond.
