We think it is safe to assume that if Trump were president Putin would never have gone in to Ukraine. However Trump is not there and yes Biden is scared sh&tless. However can we really judge him too harshly?
So Putin will take more than he really wants, suffer through sanctions that he fully knew would come, give back a little that he never really wanted, and end up exactly where he wants to be.
It would be very naïve for us to think that Putin has not already planned for any and all eventualities. Yes he knows that Biden is weak and he knows that the US has shown itself to be a bad winner in every military endeavor for the last 30 years. American's do not have the stomach to win a war. We have written many times about how, in world history, winners never leave. When you dedicate yourself to winning a war you must also dedicate yourself to being in the theater for the forceable future. This fact is true for every winning military action since the Revolutionary war. Putin knew the moment Biden decided to cut-n-run in Afghanistan that the time was now.
However it's very important that we never again involve ourselves in another war that we are not ready to support fully for the next 100 years or more. Not occupiers but partners in peace; as in Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, France, Great Britain and every other nation we help and/or liberated during World War II. We are still there. The American people have become very fickle and are no longer able to finish what they start in world affairs. While Biden made a lot of promises during the election in regard to Russia 9as seen in this Daily Caller video), don't forget that Biden has a lot of skeletons in the Ukrainian closet that he might not want exposed and Putin could easily have all that already in-hand.
Plus don't forget that Biden has a lot of skeletons in the Ukrainian closet that he might not want exposed and Putin could easily have all that already in-hand.
As we stated earlier we would not be in this situation had Trump still been president. Putin would be unable to read Trump and would never be sure if Trump had the courage to truly engage him. But don't judge President Biden too harshly. He is no Trump. He is really only able to play the cards he has and the cards in his hand are weak plus he is totally incapable of having a poker face and bluffing his way through it. So Putin will take more than he really wants, suffer through sanctions that he fully knew would come, give back a little that he never really wanted, and end up exactly where he wants to be.
