I have no idea of whether or not Russia is in fact "in a stronger position than we think." But I believe it's certainly in a stronger position than any of us would like to think. It has nuclear weapons and a man holding the power to use them who I believe is just as likely as not to do so in some way if circumstances lead him to believe …
I have no idea of whether or not Russia is in fact "in a stronger position than we think." But I believe it's certainly in a stronger position than any of us would like to think. It has nuclear weapons and a man holding the power to use them who I believe is just as likely as not to do so in some way if circumstances lead him to believe that he cannot "win" this war he's started, or that he may lose his grip on power before he does. And if that doesn't scare the bejesus out of us and the rest of the free world, it should. But it should also steel our resolve to decide that this is the time - here and now - to stand up to this threat in any way necessary, otherwise the consequences for us as a free nation will be more dire in the long run than any of us would like to think either.
Seth Abramson has no less than 5 degrees from 2 Ivy League institutions and two other notable universities. It would require a good portion of the alphabet following his name to account for his obviously "higher education". I have nothing following my name other than the term American. But if Abramson really believes Biden is unaware of the "true stakes" involved in the situation in which we and the rest of the free world find ourselves, then he's no smarter than I am and might want to ask for a refund on some of that pricey tuition.
Sleepy Joe is certainly no charismatic firebrand, and yeah, he's old. So, by the way, am I. But the man's not stupid. We've seen what that looks like in a Commander in Chief. And he's not asleep at the wheel, as recent actions have demonstrated. And I expect if there's anyone aware of the true stakes in this ugly game, it is the President, considering he's privy to information that Abramson and all the rest of us are not. I don't know how the man sleeps at night. Realistically speaking, I don't know squat, and my head doesn't rest so easy on my pillow these days.

And Biden has seen Putin operate for over 30 years. He famously stated when VP. "Putin has no soul" He knows what the stakes are.
