Biden's superior skillset & 81million voters literally is the only poll we need.



Perhaps @POTUS is pretty good at this and the 81 million folks who voted for him should show up for the party in the midterms to help him continue to deliver for the country. You don't need a poll if those folks show up.

@TioSamSays
In all seriousness, how tf did Biden get Switzerland, the Nordic Countries, Monaco, and FIFA to forgo their neutrality and passivity and give Putin the finger?



@jimsciutto
Breaking: In aggressive move, US cuts off Russia's central bank and direct investment fund from US dollar transactions. The steps are meant to prevent Russia from accessing a "rainy day fund" Moscow had been expecting to rely upon during the invasion of Ukraine



Applause to President Joe Biden & his brilliant team of advisors & appointed leaders.

3. What other food grain sources does Russia have? It's Winter there.

Stockpiles will dwindle and with the Ruble becoming worthless, how will they pay for food this Spring? Is Putin going to starve his own people just to prove Mother Russia has still got it? He's lost his mind!

6. He's going up against a population of 140 million people in RU

That's a lot of people to starve & piss off without an expected retaliation on his homefront.

We'll see how Russia handles its own uprising.

This meeting in MUNICH was only 10 days ago.
The gathering of united forces was key to where we are today. One Week Later.

VP Harris in Munich:
Harris on Ukraine: World at ‘a decisive moment in history’
FEB 19, 2022


https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/harris-on-ukraine-world-at-a-decisive-moment-in-history

"We are here in Munich, together, to reaffirm our commitment to these principles. These principles have brought us peace and security. The backbone of this, of course, is NATO — the greatest military alliance the world has ever seen.

As a defensive alliance, we have deterred acts of aggression against NATO territory for the past 75 years. And today, let me be clear: America’s commitment to Article 5 is ironclad. This commitment is sacrosanct to me, to President Biden, and to our entire nation.

12. Experts and champions do things that are nearly impossible and make them look easy

President Biden is making this look easy. But I think history will say that it had been nearly impossible

16. I'm thinking Biden spent the first 3 years of the Trump Administration
Mon Feb 28, 2022, 10:46 PM

deep in study with his advisors, gaming out every move that might occur and formulating solutions to the problems that running against Trump and cleaning up after Trump would require. Biden is facing far more difficulties than any president in many decades, and they require complex solutions, yet he has answers for most everything, he has hired superb personnel, and he's not bogged down with engaging the opposition. He just does his job, competently. There are shoals and rough waters, but no stumbles. Difficulties but no despair. The OP is spot on.

And to answer the original Tweet: I think Biden has selected a quite superior diplomatic corps including ambassadors who are working their magic on foreign leaders. This has been going on since Day One. Biden told America we had to rebuild America's reputation around the world. He meant it, he had a plan, and he's done it.

17. Thanks for you post. Its not an exaggeration of his capabilities at all.

Joe Biden is a man of his word, a man with a gift of how he sees the mechanism of the world all moving in sync.
His super power is goodness.

He would not have pulled the world forces together in a 10 day timeline, had he not earned their absolute trust & respect over the course of his long political life.
