Joe Biden IS the American President….
Not a lawmaker or Vice President …
His worry and reluctance to engage in events around the world with American military action, which does NOT have to be combat, is being noticed by the American public on the whole not just Republicans….
And has begun to define him….
He can’t afford to slide anymore in the polls….
Joe Biden is being seen as a ‘weak’ President more and more not just on the economy….
A majority of American voters say that Russian President Vladimir Putinwould not have invaded Ukraine had former President Trump still been in office, according to a new survey released on Friday.
A new Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)-Harris Poll survey released Friday found that 62 percent of those polled believed Putin would not be moving against Ukraine if Trump had been president. When looking strictly at the answers of Democrats and Republicans, 85 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Democrats answered this way.
However, 38 percent of all Americans polled believed that Putin would have invaded Ukraine even if Trump had been president.
A majority of Americans polled — 59 percent — also said they believed that the Russian president moved on Ukraine because Putin saw weakness in President Biden, while 41 percent said that it was not a factor in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine…
…
The polling comes after Biden has suffered low approval ratings in recent months. Since taking office, the president has had to navigate a multitude of issues, including a lingering COVID-19 pandemic, a chaotic evacuation from Afghanistan, infighting among Democrats over the administration’s legislative agenda and now the invasion of Ukraine…
Note…
While most Americans did NOT care about the Ukraine situation a week ago…?
Media focus on the situation and Biden’s efforts to ignore the situation IS leaving a perception that he is a ‘weak’ President more and more in the polls...
image….The Australian
BTW?
The Ukrainian’s held off the Russians last night from overrunning Kyiv…..
So a week ago no one much cared about all this.
Now?Well Biden isn’t “tough “ enough and ,as usual, no one has any ideas on exactly what he should do ,beyond what he’s doing.Then to top it off ,the respondents to this poll say If Trump was still President this wouldn’t have happened even though Trumps role during this has been to praise Putin.
Crazy?Sure but fairly predictable..
And,then ,of course , our host announces that”…Bidens efforts to ignore the situation…” a blatant lie.
Finally we are confronted with a rather simple yet profound question,
What makes a “strong” President?Apparently to the respondents of this poll?Supporting Putin!
In a microcosm this shows how insane politics in this country has become and why even I, a lifetime observer feel less and less connected to this new reality and why my comments here have leveled off and even declined somewhat.
Deceased political columnist Jack Germond once said that the American people get the government they “deserve.”
So maybe we deserve Donald Trump.After all he is uh
“Strong.”
In addition, Trump despised Zelensky because he wouldn’t investigate Hunter Biden for him. So now Trump would have helped Zelensky?
Republicans can be trained to believe anything.
And then there’s this jewel from our host.
“His worry and reluctance to engage in events around the world with American military action which does NOT have to be combat …”
What In the Hell does that mean?What exactly does he think Biden should do here?What SPECIFIC “military action” should Biden take?
Please enlighten us with your “analysis!”
Well Jack I guess ya haven’t be following along here….
Biden’s position IN THE BEGINNING before the fight started was….
“I don’t want to do ANYTHING militarily that might annoy Putin’…..
NOW?
12,000 Troops and more to come….
Moving Fighter jets to NATO countries…
Several Billion dollars for weapons and aid to the Ukraine…
My view is that despite his trepidation at using military force ?
He has been dragged into doing it…
Straight out of the Republican playbook.
Yep Jack …Except?
Across the board, Republicans and Democrats in both chambers of Congress say the administration must act boldly and with more urgency to punish Putin and Russian oligarchs as the deadly attack in Ukraine unfolds.
And while many Republicans have been critical of Biden’s steps up to this point, the actual invasion attack has seen many joining with Democrats in calls to sideline partisan squabbling in the name of NATO unity….

Biden keeps this up he’s gonna take himself out of a second term……
