Biden definitely has too short idea-to-speech circuit for a politician, that's a serious disadvantage on his position - though, that actually makes him more credible for me - I get glimpses into what he really thinks.
Quote:
It was unclear if Biden, in fact, misspoke on Wednesday, or if he was reflecting the unease and resistance he is hearing from Europe. Despite efforts by the administration — led by Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken — and top officials at NATO and the European Union to project a united front in confronting Moscow, the reality is that many of the United States’ transatlantic allies are less willing to unleash total fury against Moscow.
Being in Europe, I find this very likely.
What Germany and France did about the totally unminor incursion that actually happened and what turned out about them bypassing Crimea sanctions... yup, the reality is, if Putin did not attack full scale, much of West Europe would have likely just keep ignoring it.
Of course, it wasn't political to
say it, I agree.
