  1. After Putin’s 3 day operation clearly became a failure, Biden should have led the charge for a true Ukrainian victory. But he didn’t and it frankly feels like he and many other world leaders want a stalemate.

  2. If only Ukraine got enough supplies to not lose chunk of territory again vs opponents whose military complex is just dwarf compared to “as long as it takes” ally States

  4. Not that it really matters, but I do believe Vladimir Putin has visited Kyiv albeit quite a few years ago.

    Actually reading the article, it’s the article’s title that’s misleading, the Biden quote itself is ~~accurate~~ also inaccurate.

    >”When Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought he would capture Kyiv in a matter of days. In fact, after the war started, I was the one who visited the centre of Kyiv, not him. Putin did not,” the president joked.

    Though, now that I’m cross checking, I’m not sure the article quotes Biden correctly. The correct quote with an X link to the video clip follows.

    >”When Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought he’d conquer Kyiv in a matter of days. But the truth is, since that war began, I’m the only one that stood in the center of Kyiv, not him. Putin never has.”

  7. I bet Putin went there at some point during his time in the KGB.

  11. Kinda weak coming from the man who is about to let the Kremlin take the White House.

    Trump attempted to overthrow the government and the US is so inept and weak it still hasn’t managed to arrest him 4 years on.

  12. Didn’t he prevent Ukraine from hitting 30k retreating Russian troops in Kherson. Vetoed strikes on Russia. Let Lend Lease expire. Stoped Poland from sending Ukraine fighter jets?

    Best part – he argued in Congress in 1994 that Ukraine must be disarmed because it’s an unstable state and can’t be trusted with nukes… and then failed to prosecute Trump who is now turning US into an unstable state with nukes.

    Fuck Joe Biden.
