>> All that video shows is Biden was weak and invited Putin to invade Ukraine.

It definitely says that. I'm glad we agree on that much.

>> It certainly doesn't say whether Trump would have handled the situation any better.

We can never know precisely how things would have played out under Trump, but we can know with pretty much certainty that he would never have been weak in negotiating (which is what those few seconds were) with Putin.

One thing that absolutely would NOT have happened is the equivocation that caused this war. Putin recognized instantly that Biden had given him an open door. And Biden has spent every day since it happened, trying to undo his words. Trump understands you never give up ground without getting something in exchange -- and that was the really stupid mistake Biden made.

Trump by his nature will always start with a hard line position. Never a weak one.

Clearly, you don't grasp how this stuff works. But I just suggest you watch the video and the commentary immediately thereafter. Even the amateurs on the panel were disbelieving that Biden said what he said. And that there is no fixing that.

I'm thinking you're working overtime in defense of out Idiot-in-Chief.
