4. It's easy to arm chair quarterback,

1. If president Biden had put big sanctions on Russia before the invasion then Putin would have used those sanctions as an excuse for the invasion. President Biden shot down all of Putin's lame excuses for the invasion, the made up genocide, the false flag operations. President Biden played it just right.

2. People are asking for tougher sanctions now, like SWIFT. There's a catch, there are EU countries that are opposed to banning Russia from Swift because it would shut down Russian fossil fuel imports to their countries. President Biden's #1 goal during this war is to keep our allies united and having the US unilaterally ban Russia from SWIFT could fracture that alliance. Maybe president Biden should gamble and do it, I heard Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell say we should do it. I'm just saying, the MSM is going to go out of its way to criticize president Biden but I believe he is doing the right things.

I heard Lawrence Wilkerson last night say that the best course of action is to wait. He believes that Putin made a mistake in invading Ukraine. He believes that Russia can topple the government and install a puppet, but Russia will never be able to maintain control, the counter-insurgency will never end. The Ukrainians had a taste of 8 years of democracy and they do not want to go back to autocracy.

Having a policy of waiting Putin out will be a hard policy to sell, but Wilkerson backs it.
