Putin wins again as Biden fails to reach a decision. President Biden has shown just how dithering he really is as President of the USA and has again given another significant win to Putin. Putin was worried like a cornered rat and Biden has let him escape. The necessity to let Ukraine defend itself properly against Putin was important and could have both indicated an end to the war in Ukraine and an opportunity to depose Putin or severely weaken him.
Putin gets away with targeting the civilian population
Putin allows his army to target innocent civilians. Russian targets including hospitals, nurseries, schools, power plants and residential blocks. This has been Russia’s despicable strategy since Syria and Georgia. Russia’s war crimes are an endless disgrace that brings shame to their country but which reflect their despotic leader Putin. Putin is despicable and this is also a reflection of their country as a whole. Whilst this remains a strategy that Putin is content to employ then Ukraine has a right to defend itself by targeting anything it sees fit to target in Russia. However Zelensky is only asking to target legitimate military targets in Russia. This shows how decent he is by not even requesting a like for like situation.
Putin wins as Biden fails to reach a decision: he lets Putin off the hook and hands back the incentive to Putin
Putin wins as Biden fails to reach a decision. Biden’s procrastination in these matters hands back the incentive to just get on with it and do has he likes by carrying on with the despicable strategy of targeting civilians in its war with Ukraine. This procrastination hands a significant advantage to Putin and puts the Ukrainians at a huge disadvantage. It stops what was becoming a major headache for Putin. It plays directly into Putin’s hands. They had him worried and now they have given him fresh impetus. This is a huge mistake of Biden and shows signs of weakness which Putin will continue to exploit. Perhaps Biden is no longer fit to be president any longer. I personally am glad that he will be going soon but there is always a bigger worry that Trump may win the presidency again.
Putin must be stopped and the West and Nato need a more robust strategy.
