I found it interesting that President Biden was able to answer "one question" after his tornado destruction talk yesterday. Was this planned, i asked myself.
I did not quite hear the question myself, but from the President's response, i figured it was about his talk with Putin. Biden said that he made it abundantly clear to Putin the economic ramnifications of a Ukraine invasion--saying that they would be "extraordinary ramnifications" (not the President's exact words, but something like that) if Putin invaded Ukraine--those ramnifications would be both financial and militarial.
Right on, Mr. President! And i am sure Putin and his oligarchs got the message. Now cut the introductory deal on Friday for World Peace.
Shock us with World Peace. I think a weary world is ready for something like that. I know that i am.
ps. I think Putin needs to start moving his troops out before the Friday deadline. This should be done with full press coverage, but without giving anything away. It would help set the stage for Friday's announcement.
ps2. I am sure you have given some thought to what this Biden-Putin deal will mean outside of the obvious. But the deal will make the "middle east" a better place, it will make Iran more cooperative, and it will humble China, and North Korea will have to cave.
