Hell no. He just sent the 3rd Infantry Division to Poland. For those who don't know, that is an elite fighting unit. So what are they doing there? Biden waited too long, he F'd up.

The whole thing is a game of chicken and we know much more now than we did before. It appears to be who is willing to last longer at this point - one side Ukraine, NATO, and mainly us…or Putin.

Russia has one of the largest militaries in the World. They can keep this thing going for as long as they want, even if that means a slow dragged out 20+ year war. Ukraine doesn't have that luxury, they are thinning out and quickly. It was a scarce military to begin with. So what's the next step for Biden? Feeding Ukraine arms isn't going to do it, they need soldiers, bodies. Who's sending in troops? Someone will have to. So where do we go from here if you're Biden?

So where do we go from here if you're Biden? Tough call. I believe ultimately Ukraine will give territory to Russia unless something drastically changes. Not sure if it will be worth it in the end for them and what they achieve here. I wouldn’t want our troops fighting in there. But as long as Ukraine wants to keep testing out our bombs and tech blowing up Russian tanks that works for me. If a drones happen to find Putin’s various homes well that would be nice.

I won’t act like I follow this every day but I believe Russia is now dug in and getting them out will require a bunch more assets to have a realistic chance. I think Ukraine needs to realize the will to support them will wane and take that into their calculations. If Russia decides to escalate they will also risk Ukraine support strengthening. Who the fock knows though. I do disagree that Biden and his State Department have handle this poorly. They have done quite well navigating this in my view.
