No matter what, President Biden is going to come out of this a winner. He has a Royal Flush.
Putin, and TFG's QANON wing of the reTHUGlican party, are the inevitable losers as always. They are playing with a pair of deuces, but betting like they have Ace's high. Dumbasses as always.

Mr. Tom is a good trustworthy guy. He is a pro and knows what he is talking about.
from him.. starting in 2018 when he came on the scene and Won his seat in NJ. Flipped it BLUE!
poker hand. There is no such poker hand as a Royal Straight.
A flush always beats a straight.

This must be challenged.
BUT...consider these two things:
First:
Malanowski says, "What he truly wants is something we cannot give - a world where powerful countries and rulers can do what they please to those with less power." While I concede that he is right in this situation, I'd like to respectfully point out what is unspoken here.
It should read, "What he truly wants is something we cannot give - a world where powerful countries and rulers can do what they please to those with less power, unless it is the United States." I'm sorry, but this is a true statement, and has been since we emerged from WWII as the world's policeman.
Second:
It seems with the pandemic that the pendulum is swinging back in favor of unions, and of workers in general. We're seeing wages go up, and workers around the world having more say in where and when they work, and for how much. The 'great resignation' is putting some serious pressure on industries who rely on minimum wage workers, because these workers are voting with their feet. Their unspoken message is, "Yes, I want a job but not your job." Meaning they want reasonable hours, benefits, and a living wage.
So, considering history, it seems that every time the workers are gaining the upper hand, the oligarchs throw a nice little war, because it shuts up workers - it becomes 'unpatriotic' for workers to engage in strikes or otherwise agitate for better working conditions, because, hey, there's a war on, don't you know!
And...guess who is one of the biggest oligarchs on this earth?
Vladimir Putin. Celebrity net worth estimates Putin as having $200 billion dollars in cash and assets.
Gosh, I wonder...............could there possibly be some connection?
Very Encouraging Tweets!
