Now, when Putin invades, Biden's hand for the unprecedented sanction of cutting Russia off from the global financial system is immeasurably strengthened.
I don’t think Putin can resist. I am confident he will rise to the bait. He'll just walk his country into economic and financial ruin. He is on the horns of a real lose-lose dilemma though. What IS he going to do with all of those troops? lol WHAT is his guy going to say at the U.N. after he invades? Nothing credible, only laughable. Hauling them before the U.N. Security Council and "goading" them into saying BEFORE they invade that they're not going to invade--that was the master chess move! What was the Security Council going to do after an attack? Nothing, not with the Russians and Chinese holding vetoes. So the brilliance of this move was recognizing that Russia and China can't veto a Security Council meeting and that even a Security Council meeting gives you a golden opportunity on the world stage to make your case. That the Americans did!
