Tom Nichols on why he's glad Biden is president now [View all]

Another moment where I'm glad an experienced foreign policy president is at the helm and not a sociopathic ignoramus who would be tweeting and gibbering when the right move is to keep distance from a conflict between Russian gangsters.


He was commenting on this tweet last night, with video from CNN:

"Destabilization in a nuclear power is never a good thing. The most important response is nobody do anything too quickly on the US side. And President Biden is known for understanding that. He doesn't do his foreign policy by tweet and we should all be grateful for that."
