What would you like Biden to do about Russia?
As soon as a cyber attack crosses the Poland border, shut Russia down.
Although I have to say I am noodling this talking point that we don't go to war unless NATO is attacked. LOL. What bullshit is that? Of course we do.
NATO started in 1949. Since then... listed more than once if we went in more than once. CIA Black ops excluded of course

The ONLY reason we aren't boots on the ground, blowing the shit out of the Russians is NUKES. Quit lying.

Here's an excellent comment I found in a discussion about the whole situation:
What is the specific number of countries which it's OK to let Russia invade before a military response is permissible, even in the face of threat of nuclear deployment? One? Four? Twelve? All of them, as long as it means that Putin doesn't unleash the nukes? How many countries are we willing to sacrifice?
Either there is a red line, and you can articulate precisely where that line is...or there isn't a red line and you're willing to let that man walk all over the entire rest of the world in the face of his literal nuclear extortion. This isn't exaggeration. This isn't rhetoric. This is the exact goddamn situation staring us in the face.
So what's the number? An analysis of the risks? The risk is that Putin gets pissy and deploys either a limited tactical nuclear strike, or a general nuclear exchange. That risk will always be there as long as he is opposed in any way. The question is whether or not we'll roll over and let him do whatever he wants in the face of it.

I don't know what you're worried about, anyhow. You've got Captain America in charge. He's got this.
I don't think it's a shithole. But it could easily be labelled as such. Many people characterize it as such.
Yes, a lot of the behaviour of the Ukraine is because they were under the whip. I think they should have been given more time before handing them such a heavy Arsenal.
