A War Time President.

President Biden did not seek or cause this upcoming (I hope not) war.

This is in sharp contrast to Bush who fucked up everything, to avenge Daddy.

This President has no gain here pushing his agenda. except the security of America and her allies.

I support Joe Biden and America!

TDFG would have turned a blind eye and let Putin retake territory and reform the Soviet Union.

And if I am wrong, it won't matter anyway. I will either starve or be incinerated by a 800KT air-burst triangle-pattern MIRV, as will most urban/suburban Americans and Russians.

Russian's unlikely to go with countervalue (cities) over counterforce (military targets), it just invites counter strikes against Russian cities. I live near MacDill myself...after the flash I should have about 50 seconds to find a manhole cover to open and dive down...lol

Alongside the Ukrainians? According to Biden, no.

So no war for us.

It is going to be really interesting to see how the EU reacts. Putin and I are betting on appeasement.

This has got to be Europe's problem first because, even if we wanted to get between Putin and Ukraine, there is a lot of water and a lot of Europe between us and Ukraine. Biden has made a good call.

Do the schools even teach the principle of appeasement anymore?
Born in 55, our schools did, starting in 6th grade.
WW2 was still recent history. We have failed policies and misadventures since.
Maybe if schools taught history as it really was..........

And they put it all in writing, & published it on their website for the whole world to see. Just like today's GOP is, as I've seen many folks say, "saying the quiet part out loud." Many folks seem to think that's a new development. It's not. The difference is, back then our media failed to report on it, so few people knew they were saying the quiet part out loud.

I will never forgive our media for that...
