Thats the same black'n white as Putins military doctrine.
Maybe it makes sense after all. You just have to be fuck old to get it.

I'm just so over the general US public and their polling on Biden in this. Like what the fuck do you want.
A week ago, he's too weak.
Over the weekend his words were too strong.
Ok.
I just see manufactured drama. The entire fucking point of crippling sanctions on their economy and wealth hoarding elites is force an internal changeup. We do that to create dissent internally. He's saying exactly what we intend to happen. I wouldn't walk it back either.

I think any conditions that Ukraine agrees to as part of a cease fire should in no way be giving up ANYTHING that was Ukrainian territory prior to hostilities. They shouldn't be the ones compromising here.

The electorate in general is in a really sour mood. On seemingly everything. Call it COVID hangover or whatever. Republicans not likely to fare any better if/when they make midterm gains.

I think at some point voters have to understand maybe *they* are the toxic boyfriend in this relationship. They won't. But point stands.

Not going to hold my breath for Americans to rationally connect their votes to policy outcomes.

Look at polling for every major Dem proposal, and it's overwhelmingly favorable across every demographic. Which is why reps stick to virtue signaling about ridiculous culture warfare "issues" that they don't actually care about. (bathroom bills, book bannings etc)

Probably something to do with the fact that in 2001 we saw thousands of Americans die on live TV, and nothing has gotten better since then. Only worse.

The American electorate could literally wake up and find Rick Scott looming above their bed measuring for Soylent Green production and think "Yea, well maybe we'll give these guys a shot since I'm unhappy".

I can't decide if I think the plan is to terroize their own troops or Ukrainian civilians. Maybe its both.

Biden's low favorables are almost entirely due to republican approval being near zilch. Shocking - I know. That, and well, 'it's the economy stupid'. It never seems to matter who caused the economic problems, or why. It only matters who's in office when the problems hit.
Most Americans don't like Biden's Ukraine response and worry about inflation
A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds that most Americans give President Biden low marks for his handling of the war in Ukraine, and concerns about inflation are overshadowing positive news about the economy.

Biden at 33% Why?
Most important job Biden has
1. Fix inflation 68%
2. Fix Ukraine 32%
Some stuff on Covid as well where he is doing much better.
I mean, it does not strike people that these things are interconnected? To get economy rolling we need food security, logistics and trade running, all things that war and covid just hammers.
So as covid eases off, that part of his numbers will increase again *BY MAGIC* .. and the whole food security thing -> Ukraine. Get that shit running again and inflation goes down, interest rates will go down again etc.

I get so annoyed with comments on Economic/Business articles. Everything is just Political BS without any, seemingly, awareness of underlining causes, like freaking Supply(apparently some Fake thing elites talk about) of all things.Biden's low favorables are almost entirely due to republican approval being near zilch. Shocking - I know. That, and well, 'it's the economy stupid'. It never seems to matter who caused the economic problems, or why. It only matters who's in office when the problems hit.

Well, for one, the economic problems are rooted in many factors that have nothing to do with the war. Getting Russian oil/gas back on into the market will help, but not solve that problem. Secondly, our general population is typically looking at what their situation will be in a month, or even next week. The majority of families cannot afford an unexpected expense of $400US!!! That in itself is f*cked up, but I think you can see how this would create such a short term focus among many Americans. Lastly, Ukraine is a country most people didn't even know existed until the Republicans made it an issue over the fictitious 'Hunter Biden' affair. Even now, Ukraine is way over there -------->. The super market is just down the street.

I also see no reason they can't join NATO, anyway, or take back the rest of their territory if they see fit, after whatever they sign with Putin.
There is no reason to assume Putin will honor a deal, so fuck that piece of shit. Sign whatever to get RU out of Ukraine ASAP, run in and clean up the occupiers in Crimea and Donbass, let NATO move in.

It takes time and effort to gain any reasonable understanding of even the basic functional elements of the economy. It's way easier to just doomscroll imgur. At least at one point in history, we had one hour network news programs that made a reasonable effort to give people some understanding of events. Now we either have the farce that is the 30min network news today or endless blabbering on cable news networks and talk radio. Well, all that, and nobody reads papers, even online versions, anymore.

Oh no, but Biden said something about Putin. Let's all freak out. He has dementia!
Oh bad Biden, you're mean words are dangerous and escalatory.
Meanwhile in Russia...
