Not at all! What I've implied is that Biden is huffing and puffing as if he's the big, bad wolf. Sadly, he's not.
Please tell us what you’d like him to do to appear tougher. Bombs? Ground troops? Just curious. Sanction the shit out of him? Check
Somehow I feel the only acceptable response for you would be for Biden to outlaw abortion and restrict transgender rights. Maybe enact a complete theocracy also.
I do understand the complexity. Basically saying, though, "We're laying down sanctions and will check back in a month or so to see how those are working" appears very soft/ineffective. However, NATO will convene tomorrow, so let's see how everyone lines up.
OK, well answer the question, tough guy. If not sanctions in this situation, what? What would you have him, or Trump if he was in office, do?
Maybe the answer is, there is nothing we can really do because it's not a strategic issue for us and not in our sphere of influence. See, generally, the Monroe Doctrine.
How is me being supportive of Ukraine in the moment having any kind of agenda at all? I didn’t even think about how it would annoy you per the usual. Take your gender politics somewhere else.
