IMHO, he and Trump are in cahoots and have been for a long time. He wants Trump back in 2024.

Joe Biden is going to look really bad when his "swift and decisive action" doesn't do anything. Trump's popularity will swell. All by design.

I believe Biden's major problem will relate to inflation.
Inflation is where it's at, not Ukraine.

The Russians love predictability...Trump has showed himself to be too erratic.

We're going to see the inflation for sure.

The Ukraine skirmish will surge oil prices, send the stock market swinging. The Fed will bump the rate way up to stabilize this, because they 'fix' things that way.

All interrelated. Trump is erratic, but he has limits on how far he can stray. He answers to some kind of 'controller'.

We've stripped Putin of his opportunities to pull a 'false flag'.

How funny. He's actually planning on planting a Billy Jack kick in broad daylight.

As far as keeping up goes. Do you know the difference between cold and hot?
Robert Daly, the director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, on a statement from Russia and China on their new pact:

“This is a pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder against America and the West, ideologically as well as militarily. This statement might be looked back on as the beginning of Cold War Two.”

Apart from inflation Biden and the Democrats have a huge problem with messaging.

Surprise! Tucker Carlson draws the most Democratic viewers in the key demo, even topping Rachel Maddow.

Correct in that we have never actually stopped fighting the Cold War. After all, the Treaty of Versailles was just a 20 year armistice.

Just because they're watching doesn't mean they're drinking the Kool-Aid. It's wise to keep an eye on your enemy. That Faux Entertainment has high viewership means nothing to me. They have all the Reich-Wingers and tRump cult wrapped up because on cable there's nowhere else for them to go. The critical thinking folk have many more sources for their news and information.

Fake data, evidence of keeping an eye on the enemy, possibly the beginning of a new center ...

Recon would account for less than 13.5 % of democrat eyes.
